EMOTIONAL STABILITY OF EDUCATORS IN WAR CONDITIONS AS A PROBLEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

 In the article, the author raises the issue of increasing the levels of emotional resilience of higher education seekers in connection with their collective trauma due to the negative impact of extremely powerful destabilizing emotional factors brought to Ukraine by a full-scale war. This conclusion is confirmed by the results of an empirical study conducted in the second month of full-scale hostilities. The obtained data testified to the weakening of learning motivation and deterioration of learning outcomes in a significant part of higher education students, who explained this phenomenon not so much by extreme life circumstances as by emotional reactions to them. It was found that the characteristics of these reactions presented by students are dominated by modalities that confirm their strength and negative sign ("nervous", "negative") and destabilizing effects on mental (including intellectual) activities (stress, anxiety, anxiety, aggression) , uncertainty, tension, exhaustion, devastation, apathy, depression, panic).

The stated situation needs to be resolved, which, in the author's opinion, can be realized by creating optimal psychological and pedagogical conditions for psychological support of higher education seekers to increase their emotional stability by research and teaching staff, all services of higher education and, in particular, professional psychologists.
