Resource approach to the professional well-being of teachers in the conditions of the Far North

Abstract

The purpose of the research presented in the article was the theoretical analysis of scientific papers devoted to the problem of studying the unfavorable factors of professional activity of teachers in the conditions of the Far North of Russia. It is shown that the combination of unfavorable climatic, geographical and socio-psychological factors have a destructive effect on the well-being of teachers and are often experienced by them as critical situations. The results of a theoretical and empirical study of teachers' experiences of difficult, critical situations allowed us to determine individual psychological characteristics that make up the teacher's personality resource. The idea of teachers' personal resources, including the severity of temperament properties (activity, pace, emotionality, impulsivity restraint, plasticity rigidity), the features of the dominant mental state and mood from the position of their favorability or unfavorability, the level of psychological stability of the individual formed the basis of the author's model of prevention. The developed model of psychological and pedagogical prevention can be used by educational psychologists as a theoretical and methodological basis for the development of work programs with teachers in educational organizations of the Far North of Russia.
