Abstract

Increasingly, the wide spread of the Internet determines the specifics of the social situation of a modern metropolis. The two leading educational subjects (teachers and schoolchildren) are also active users of the Internet. Information, technological, communication and educational resources, various risks and threats enter their lives in general, and their educational space in particular, together with the use of the Internet. Analysis of the degree of trust (distrust) in online information, recognition of potential dangers, determination of mechanisms of personal and group protection and skills of their application - these are the range of issues that require special applied research in the current circumstances, especially relevant in the modern educational space. Using the example of an original sociological study, the author shows the emerging trends characteristic of the Ural region in this problem field, and draws conclusions about the features of the views of high school students and their teachers - residents of a large Ural megalopolis - about the information potential, demanded resources and possible threats caused by the Internet. The author pays special attention to the description of the social phenomenon of cyberbullying. The results obtained in the course of the survey methods are used to determine the level of awareness of students and teachers about this kind of phenomenon, as well as to describe their personal experience of encountering situations of bullying in the online environment.
