| Abstract:
|
The work is one of the pilot studies within the framework of the development of a theoretical and applied
model for predicting a person’s life activity in its educational activities through social networks. This study
revealed that social networks are the result of profound changes in social reality models due to the intensive
“digitalization” of modern society. In general, social networks reflect the virtualization of social processes
which include the fusion of social and virtual realities. The behaviour of a person within the framework of
social networks is reflected in the products of its virtual activity - the quantitative and qualitative (meaningful)
metrics of its personal profile (friends, posts, likes, subscribers, etc.). As part of the hypothesis that the
similarity of social networks users’ virtual behaviour indicates the similarity of their real behaviour, we assume
that a number of personal profile characteristics are psychometric predictors of future students' academic
achievements.
The interval distribution regularities of average quantitative characteristics values for high-achieving and lowachieving
humanists’ personal profiles in social networks (number of friends, communities, subscribers and
photos) are shown based on their comparative analysis. As a result, psychometric predictors for academic
achievements of humanists, which allow predicting their academic performance in the educational process, are
presented in the work as a first approximation.
