THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES BY A TEACHERFOR THE EMOTIONAL AND VALUE INVOLVEMENTOF STUDENTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Psychological research into the personal and professional development of teachers is focused on the study of their involvement in teaching activities and their ability to involve students who become more successful in educational activities. Involved teachers become more effective. Purpose. The study investigates the psychological content of the resource complex “engagement – involvement”. Another goal is to identify the psychological means of resource development and actualization. Participants. Students (n=), school teachers (n=), high school students (n=) took part in the study. Methods. The study was carried out in two stages. A special methodological program was developed for each stage. Methods of statistical data processing were used. Results. The specifi c content of the complex of “engagement – involvement” has been revealed. It was determined that teachers of the developmental model (. %) are distinguished by their pronounced involvement and ability to involve students in educational activities, in contrast to teachers of the adaptive functioning model (. %) with low indicators of this complex and high indicators of professional deformations. Students (more than  %) are characterized by signs of procrastination and learned helplessness, the formation and consolidation of which occurs due to constant school failures caused by professional deformations of teachers. Psychological means that contributed to the actualization of the “engagement–involvement” complex as a resource for the personal and professional development of teachers and students were identifi ed. Digital technologies used by teachers contribute to the development of cognitive functions, provide a charge of positive emotions (gamifi cation, VR, storytelling, etc.) and support students’ involvement in the learning process. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that engagement and involvement are the resource complex that determines personal and professional development in teachers and students. A new technological solution, which has proven its effectiveness in experiments and is recommended for implementation in the educational process, has been proposed for updating this complex.
