DEVELOPMENT OF STRESS RESISTANCE IN FORMING LIFE SUCCESSFULNESS OF SENIOR PUPILS

The objectives of the research are to generalize theoretical data concerning the category of stress resistance, the results of a survey of senior school pupils of experimental secondary education institutions on the Google Forms resource at the organizational-search and experimental-practical stages of the research using the questionnaire "Assessment of the level of development of life skills of a successful personality" (according to D. Franken) and generalize and analyze empirical data, as well as highlight the features of the program for developing stress resistance of senior school pupils. In the process of the research, theoretical and methodological approaches were applied to the formation of a pupil’s stress resistance – axiological, acmeological, environmental, systemic, competency-based, as well as the following methods – theoretical (analysis, comparison and reinterpretation of data) and empirical (questionnaire). The proposed research determined the levels of development of stress resistance of senior school pupils. Within the framework of the ascertaining experiment, problem areas in the development of pupils' stress resistance were identified. During the formative experiment, self-control and empathy skills were improved, pupils' adaptive capabilities were increased, and positive experience of pupils effectively overcoming stressful situations was noted, which was confirmed by the results of the survey. The author also noted that the formation of stress resistance acquires particular significance in senior school age – the age of increased stress genitics. A close connection between the categories of stress resistance and hardiness was noted. The advantages of art therapy in the development of stress resistance of senior school pupils are highlighted.
