READINESS OF TEACHERS TO INTERACT WITH PUPILS WITH A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
SUMMARY:
Actuality of theme. In schools, there is practically no organized system of working with children who have a negative attitude to the values of a healthy lifestyle, and one of the reasons for this is the position of teachers, who for various reasons are removed from solving this problem. Accordingly, the study of the level of readiness of teachers to interact with students with a negative attitude to a healthy lifestyle and values of health culture is an important component of creating effective mechanisms for the formation of students’ health-preserving competencies. The purpose of the article is to determine the levels of readiness of teachers for constructive interaction with students, who are characterized by a lack of positive motivation for a healthy lifestyle. Methods. A set of methods based on survey and testing was used to conduct the research. It is based on a questionnaire to determine the readiness of teachers to interact with students with a negative attitude towards a healthy lifestyle. Its problems are aimed at determining the levels of individual components of such readiness, which, according to the developments available in the scientific literature, we structured into motivational, cognitive, operational and personal. Also, the level of humanistic orientation of values and empathic abilities were investigated as elements of the personal component of the readiness of teachers as an object of research, for the determination of which appropriate methods were used. The results. The majority of teachers show insufficient understanding of the importance of taking into account the individual characteristics of students with a negative attitude to a healthy lifestyle in their work, and sometimes a negative evaluative attitude towards such children, ignoring their needs, problems and peculiarities. Less than half of the surveyed teachers are characterized by a humanistic orientation, which in practical work is manifested in the lack of motivation for constructive interaction with students of this category on the basis of partner pedagogy. None of the tested teachers showed a high level of empathic abilities, while a third of the surveyed teachers have an average level of empathy development, and the majority of teachers are characterized by a low level of empathy.
KEYWORDS:
