Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of professional training of the future social workers, namely, the nature and peculiarities of pedagogical support for future specialists in the social sphere in the process of their preparation for work with drug addicts. A number of obstacles for students to acquire professional competences to work with this category of persons, such as: unwillingness to pedagogically communicate with drug addicts due to ignorance of the social-pedagogical and psychological features of the latter, lack of professional knowledge and experience of practical training in dealing with drug addicts as objects of social work are found out. The peculiarities of pedagogical support of students are the establishment of social communication between each other and drug addicts, removal of emotional tension, familiarization with the life experience of drug addicts as a social situation of their life due to ways of their re-socialization and ways of overcoming discriminatory stereotypes drug addicts are established.

The “facilitative position” of pedagogue as a kind of pedagogical interaction between students and pedagogue, that is based on subject-subject relations of mutual acceptance, empathy, assistance, tolerance, when the teacher is a co-author of positive social change of students are considered. The availability of the personal experience, and in general, the personality of the teacher is not less important. The teacher’s brutalities such as: openness, empathy, tolerance, impartiality, mastering students in the desired direction, helping in stressful and uncomfortable situations, ability to overcome difficulties and barriers to communication are marked. A teacher is a good guide of the tolerant and non-discriminatory attitude towards this stigmatized category of persons. The principles of the pedagogical support of the future social workers and the forms and methods of such interaction are determined.
