Context of Research Project within a Subject of Human Capital

The human potential formation and creating conditions for increasing its contribution to development is defined as a priority in national strategic documents. 

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the basic institutions that determine human development (family, social structure, educational institutions, value systems, etc.) and human potential are characterized by great inertia, so understanding the main processes in this area is impossible outside the historical context. The global scientific interest in this topic is reinforced by the fact that it was the Russian Empire and the USSR that repeatedly turned out to be a platform for transformations in this area, the results of which often became the subject of “export” and set benchmarks for other countries

Project Aim

Solving a complex of topical fundamental and applied scientific problems of an interdisciplinary nature in the field of formation and development of human potential

Project Objectives:

  1. Studying political languages in Russia in a comparative perspective from the point of view of their role in the formation and change of public institutions, considering the mechanisms of generation, transfer and development of normative models
  2. Developing theoretical concepts and models of human potential formation that allow considering the effects of global challenges and conducting historical and cross-country comparisons

Key Findings

2020

The data have been collected to create a new human capital indicator similar to modern PISA, PIRLS tests. The creation of a digital platform for the compilation of genetic classification and the development of an annotated basic vocabulary of the world’s languages has begun

2021

A new indicator of human capital, similar to the modern PISA, PIRLS tests, has been developed for the purposes of historical comparison. The development of a platform for collective use on long-term trends (since the XIX century) of development and realization of human potential has begun. The main scientific content of the works is connected with the strategic choice of an adequate methodological approach to the study of intellectual history as the history of cultural and civilizational transfers
