FORMATION OF STRESS RESISTANCE IN THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF A TEACHER

Stress occupies a significant place in the activities of a teacher. Psychological traditions of studying this complex and interesting phenomenon were formed in psychoanalytic and sociological schools, which used a large arsenal of methods of recognition, description and research. Our work is aimed at studying the skills of stress-resistant behavior, which is an important factor in the self-development of a person. The starting point for solving various tasks of self-development and self-regulation is the ability to understand what is happening to you, who you are now, what are your strengths and weaknesses, to know your capabilities. The relevance of the identified problem and the study of pedagogical experience have shown that there are contradictions between: - the growing needs of society for professional competencies of a teacher, who must have a high level of stress resistance and the stressogenicity of the teaching profession, which is associated with intensive and emotional interaction with people; - the needs of teachers in the skills of stabilizing the functional and psychological state and the growth of stress factors. So, the relevance, the objective need of society in the search for new approaches to solving the problem of forming stress resistance in the professional activity of a teacher, the insufficient development of the problem determined the choice of the research topic. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and partially verify the methodology for stabilizing the functional and psychological state of the individual and determine the ways of psychologically overcoming maladaptive factors in the professional activity of a teacher. The research methods were theoretical (analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, generalization) in order to systematize theoretical ideas and generalize the experience of forming ways and methods of overcoming stress and the need to develop the teacher's skills to control and regulate their well-being, their emotional state; empirical (testing, survey), observational (questionnaire) to diagnose the level of stress resistance; pedagogical experiment to check the psychological preparation of pedagogical workers in stressful situations. As a result of the study, the essence of the concept of "stress resistance of a teacher", the lack of which can be considered a serious and urgent problem in the professional activity of a teacher, and, therefore, the formation of stress resistance is also important, which is understood as a process aimed at the acquisition by specialists of professional competencies to improve the desire to constantly increase the level of self-regulation, and accordingly the educational and scientific level, the actualization and realization of their own personal potential, the desire for self-development according to vocational education programs; the principles of learning (humanism; democracy; immanence of development; free development of a specialist; freedom of choice) have been further developed; the formation of the personality of an engineer-pedagogue of a vocational and technical profile and the management of the educational process in this educational field.
