Abstract
The paper updates the problem of finding modern ways and means of organizing student volunteering in the higher education system. An analysis of the main regulatory documents determining the priority of organizing volunteer activities of students at the university is presented. The author’s interpretation of the concept of «volunteer activity of university students» is given, its main substantive characteristics are reflected. The results of a survey of full-time students (direction of training 44.03.05 Pedagogical education (with two training profiles), 44.03.02 Psychological and Pedagogical Education) of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education «Orenburg State Pedagogical University» on the digital site Google Form are presented. The questionnaire included questions related to the organization of volunteering at the university, identifying the degree of motivation of students’ involvement in volunteer practices, realizing the importance of student volunteering for the good of the country and their own professional, personal and social development. Based on the survey data obtained, semantic guidelines (axiological, prosocial-partner, activating) were identified that determine the directions for minimizing the identified risky areas of organizing student volunteer activities at the university and strengthening the positive aspects of its implementation. It has been established that the totality of the identified semantic guidelines for organizing the volunteer activities of students at the university determines the need for a comprehensive use of resources: moral education; self-identification of students as representatives of the volunteer community and subjects of the constructive implementation of creative and creative voluntary labor; systems for training volunteers and replicating technologies for managing volunteer practices; volunteer mentoring and teaching support; creating dialogue platforms for exchanging experience and obtaining information of interest; self-education and self-discipline.
