The educational process in the assessments of students with different levels of academic performance (based on the materials of an empirical study)

The article is devoted to studying the opinions of students with different levels of academic performance regarding the educational process. The article presents the results of a student survey on satisfaction with various aspects of education at one of the largest universities in the South of Russia – the Southern Federal University. The empirical material was collected by means of a questionnaire survey using the Russian service for creating surveys Anketolog (https://anketolog.ru/). The sample size for the Southern Federal University was 661 people. The calculation of the obtained empirical data, their statistical processing were carried out using the SPSS program, version 26.0. The conducted analysis of student assessments showed that the request for obtaining a specialty that will allow you to get an interesting and favorite job in the future is formed by all SFedU students, but students with different levels of academic performance perceive the educational process differently and determine the directions of their own development. Excellent students are focused on gaining in-depth knowledge in their chosen specialty, have a more pronounced focus on research and development, strive to develop practical professional skills through additional tools, and have a more confident position on the issue of employment in their specialty and their own demand in the labor market. Students with low academic performance are focused on gaining social skills necessary in everyday life, on communicating with peers; their position on issues of future professional development is more blurred than that of students with high academic performance.
