Abstract

The article describes set communication links of transmitting political and legal information in the educational environment of the higher education establishments (HEE) (representatives of the upper bodies of the education authorities → HEE administration → teachers →student self-government leaders → students). The author develops the following classification of the political and legal information communication channels: fficial/unofficial, direct/indirect, verbal/nonverbal, individual/group, media/interpersonal and active/passive channels. The respondents most frequently ask their fellow students for political and legal information, and they mostly trust their teachers and fellow group members. The respondents find it difficult to declare their political and legal standpoint if they consider the events of the Revolution of Dignity (2013–2014) to be illegal and anticonstitutional. The fear of being tracked in the virtual environment by the national and foreign secret services is spread among the university students. To overcome it they either avoid communication about political and legal issues or use the strategy of multiple self-representation (they create a number of accounts including the anonymous ones). The role of teachers as the agents of information for the students is one of the most significant ones. The reasons for the significance are the following: 1) organizational dependence of the students from their teachers; 2) material dependence of the students (getting a scholarship) from teacher; 3) psychological readiness of the students to receive and reproduce the information received from the teachers as a guarantee of their successful studying and primary professional socialization. The article discusses the role of a student learning group as a unit of student professional, political and legal socialization. It has been proved that thanks to media resourses, the student community is capable of taking an independent and autonomous stand in the political and legal communication within their HEE.
