Abstract

The article is devoted to the everyday life of Bashkir schoolchildren and focuses on the case of the Rami Garipov Bashkir Republican Gymnasium (Boarding School) No 1. The research aimed to study the free time of high school students in a boarding school setting, and to ascertain their attitudes towards literature, theater, their contemporaries and historical figures. In general, students of boarding schools, on the one hand, have the autonomy to plan their free time, but on the other hand, their choices are constrained by the rigidity of schedule and the necessity for discipline. It is of great importance, from both a practical and a scientific standpoint, to elucidate the part played by the school and the teachers in influencing the student's hobbies and interests. Moreover, the skills and interests that are acquired during the high school years will have an impact on the future life planning of the younger generation and their choice of strategic model of behavior in society. The study analyzed the daily routine of students and revealed that they can only choose additional activities from those offered by the school. It was also found that high school students enjoy visiting theaters, prefer motivating literature by foreign authors, read little in the Bashkir language and have not yet decided on contemporaries who can be opinion leaders for them.
