The following re-search methods were used: Level of Social Activity Scale; Ecological Awareness and Ecological Culture Scale; drawing test “Socially Active Society”, as well as a method of observation of the respondents’ social activity. It has been proved that the disciplines providing not just learning theory but teaching how to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in practice, creating and introducing one’s own social projects promote the development of social activity as a basic competence of a social worker. As a result, statistically significant indicators of social activity of students’ devel-opment have been discovered from the first to the fourth year of studying at a university. A significant gap has been found between the level of knowledge in the field of social activity and the level of activity aimed at supporting and developing the society.
