Relevance is due to the lack of scientific-theoretical and scientific-practical developments aimed at studying hiking trips as a tool for the educational work of the curator of the student group.

Aim is to develop and implement an algorithm for conducting a hiking trip aimed at improving the general cultural level of development of students, their respect for nature, and the formation of cohesion of the study group.

Methodology. The paper analyzes the use of a hiking trip as a type of educational work carried out by a curator of the student group in an educational institution of higher education. It is specified that it is the educational function in curatorial work that should prevail over others, for example, scientific or supervisory.

Scientific novelty / theoretical and / or practical significance. It is proposed to prepare for a hike with a supervised group on the basis of four main stages (planning, preparation, conduct, evaluation and reflection), each of which is disclosed in more detail in the text. The purpose and objectives of the hike within the framework of educational activities are defined, while one of the tasks is to create a success situation for students in a hiking trip as a factor in the development of their personality and the formation of the cohesion of the study group. As a recommendation, the instructions “Behavior in the Baikal National Park” and “Rules of conduct of the study group on a hike” have been developed, which can be used during a preliminary briefing. There are also recommendations for organizing situations of “success” in a group during a hike.

Results. It is determined that the use of hikes as a means of implementing the educational function of the curator of the student group is given unsatisfactory attention both in practice and in the scientific literature. In connection with the above, the authors have developed and proposed an algorithm for organizing and conducting a tourist hike on a specific example of a hike with a group.

Conclusions. The goal has been achieved; an algorithm for conducting a tourist hike by a curator of the student group has been developed and implemented.

Methodology. The methodological basis of this study was: a humanistic approach that determines the understanding of a person as a unique, open, active system capable of change and development in the process of pedagogical interaction (Sh.A. Amonashvili, I.P. Volkov, E.N. Ilyin); modern conflict management concepts that provide an opportunity to predict the development and resolution of conflict situations without turning them into a conflict (V.I. Andreev, N.P. Anikeeva, A.G. Bolshakov, N.V. Grishina, V.I. Zhuravlev, A.JL Krupenin); the paradigm of modern education (B.G. Gershunsky, E.D. Dneprov, V.I. Zagvyazinsky, V.V. Kraevsky).

Research methods: theoretical: theoretical analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature on the research problem; study and generalization of the experience of interaction between participants in the educational process. Empirical: questioning, survey.

Scientific novelty / theoretical and / or practical significance. The goals of school mediators’ activities are systematized, the main difficulties and obstacles in the work of the School Mediation Service are identified, the indicators of the effectiveness of the work of the School Mediation Service and

the conditions for improving their activities are determined. New empirical data are presented that allow drawing conclusions about the educational effectiveness of the work of the School Mediation Service.

Results of the research. The work of the School Mediation Service serves to reduce the indicators of conflict and aggressiveness of participants in educational relations (on the example of reducing the indicators of bullying), contributes to the formation of rational judgments among students about thecorrectness of accepting help in difficult situations, and contributes to the education of civic activity among the young mediators themselves.

Conclusions. The development of school mediation services is an important social innovation, demanded by life, contributing to the normalization of the socio-psychological climate in the school. The activities of the school mediation service play an important role in the prevention of school conflicts. It is important that students learn to take responsibility for building positive relationships with others, for a culture of interaction, respect the rights of peers and adults. At the same time, there is a need to improve the activities of the Services themselves. The conditions for improving the activities  of the Mediation Services are: analysis of existing difficulties through the study of local experience, the development of methodological recommendations, and the training of school workers in the mediation approach.
