| Summary: | The article presents an analysis of the problem field identified because of a survey of parents of students at children's art schools, which became the reason for a discussion with the participation of the parent community within the framework of the All-Russian scientific and practical conference "Children's Art Schools. TOP format. Potential. Process. Progress" (Yekaterinburg, March 24, 2023). Such a discussion has become an innovation as a form of work with parents and as a method of collecting information to form effective models of interaction between all participants in educational relations. Children's art schools are the basic element of a three-level art education system. The historical purpose of the children's art school is not only to introduce children to the values of world and national culture, but also to form basic professional skills and motivation to continue professional education. Involvement of parents of art schools students in solving the problem of career guidance of graduates is a relatively new and certainly important problem. The relevance is expressed in the growing shortage of personnel in the field of art education. Problem solving resources - cooperation, community and mentoring are considered as a style and format of interaction between the three components of the system: teachers, parents, and children. The purpose of the article is to characterize the influence of parents of children studying at art schools on motivation for further professional activity, to present an analysis of existing models of interaction between these children and their parents. The authors use such methods as analysis and synthesis, comparison, classification, and the results of a survey of parents characterizing today's ideas about the teaching profession in the field of culture and art are presented. In the survey conducted online in January-February 2023, 1,091 parents of students at the Yekaterinburg Secondary School took part. The results of the empirical study are as follows: the key motive indicated by the parents is the overall development of the child and the development of his creative abilities. Only 16% of parents are thinking about further professional education of their children. Nevertheless, 94% of parents are confident that their children will choose a creative profession. At the same time, only 65% are ready to support their child if they choose a teaching career. Parents rate the prestige of the teacher's work low, pointing to financial difficulties as a key barrier to such work for their child. The advantages of pedagogical work are the possibility of self-development, doing what you love, a favorable environment. Such assessments of the teacher's work are recorded against the background of a high level of involvement and interest of parents in classes at the school, which can be considered as a potential communication resource for solving problems. |
