Psychological and Pedagogical Support of Professional Identity Development of Future Social Educators in the Process of Preparation for Guardianship and Educational Activities

Abstract

The relevance of the article is related to the rapid growth in the number of orphans and children deprived of parental care, which is associated with the need to improve the training of future social educators for professional guardianship and educational activities. Today, psychological and pedagogical support of professional identity is one of the key stages necessary for the full development of a competent social educator, creating favourable conditions for him in the learning process, and subsequently in guardianship and educational activities. The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical substantiation of the socio-psychological features of the organisation of the model of psychological and pedagogical support for the development of the professional identity of future social educators in the process of preparation for guardianship and educational activities. The scientific work actualises the problem of introducing psychological and pedagogical support for the professional identity of future social educators in the process of preparation for guardianship and educational activities. Socio-psychological features of the organisation of the model of psychological and pedagogical support for the development of the professional identity of future social educators in the process of preparation for guardianship and educational activities are justified on the basis of understanding the philosophical and educational methodology of the personal paradigm of raising orphaned children, a synergetic and personality-oriented approach to the educational process. The author notes that psychological support for the development of the future social teacher’s personality is important, which, in particular, should be based on a synergistic combination of conditions for initiating the process of self-development, and by neutralising the conditions that hinder this process
