Abstract

A wide range of potential risks and threats in each educational activity segment determines the need to create the safety of educational subjects. It requires improving teachers’ training to create a safe educational environment and the formation of a safety culture in the younger generation. As a vital component of the educational environment’s integrated safety, the authors of the article consider psychological safety, in the provision of which the professional and personal competencies of the teacher in the field of self-regulation, self-government, and self-development play a unique role. The study aims to assess the level of neuropsychic stability of students of a pedagogical higher educational institution and identify the degree of development of their ability to self-government. The article presents the results of an empirical study of these indicators. More than 300 students - future teachers who are in different years of their studies - took part in the survey, which made it possible to assess the dynamics of the competencies formation. The data obtained made it possible to determine the directions for improving the institute’s work in the formation of the future teachers’ competencies necessary to create and maintain a safe, educational environment.

Summary

A problem statement

Socio-economic instability, global transformation processes, the pandemic caused by the coronavirus infection COVID-19 have identified at the worldwide level the problem of safety in all spheres of society, including the field of education These negative phenomena have actualized the necessity of creating a safe educational environment for which a modern teacher should be prepared. All the educational environment’s main parameters should be considered by teachers in equilibrium, taking into account their influence on the educational process participants and providing comprehensive security, including ideological, moral, psychological, environmental, informational protection. This is a question of special services and management of a preschool educational institution, school or university. In the process of training future teachers, it seems much more important to form their ability for continuous improvement and self-education [7], which can be considered as a more successful indicator of a person’s readiness for a profession than to train reproductive assimilation of a system of ready-made knowledge and repetition of necessary standard skills [8]
