ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT OF THE SYSTEM OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF SOCIAL WORK SPECIALISTS FOR WORK WITH WAR VETERANS


SUMMARY:

This research provides a theoretical substantiation of the essence of the environmental component within the system of professional training of social work specialists for working with war veterans. The relevance of the study is determined by contemporary social challenges associated with the need to prepare social professionals capable of facilitating the effective readaptation of war veterans to civilian life. Modern scientific approaches to understanding the concept of “educational environment” are analyzed, and it is defined as an integrative educational and practical space within which the professional readiness of future specialists is formed through their involvement in a system of social interactions, values, and practices. The main properties of the educational environment in training specialists to work with war veterans are identified, including adaptability, openness, variability, humanistic orientation, dynamism, interactivity, communicativeness, personalization, plasticity, multi-subjectness, practice orientation, synergeticity, technologicality, and integrity. It is substantiated that these characteristics ensure the effectiveness of professional training oriented toward the real needs of the target group. A structural model of the environmental component is proposed, which includes the following types of environment: educational, family, mass media, youth, information and digital, spatial-local, and cultural-aesthetic environments. Their content and role in the formation of professional competencies of future social work specialists are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between higher education institutions and social institutions, communities, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders as a necessary condition for effective training.

BULLYING AND MOBBING UNDER MARTIAL LAW: CONSEQUENCES AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES


SUMMARY:

This article examines the phenomena of bullying, mobbing and their various forms in the context of a full-scale armed invasion, with a focus on the problems faced by the internally displaced population in Ukraine. The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenology, forms of manifestation and consequences of bullying, cyberbullying, mobbing and cybermobbing in a state of martial law, as well as to summarise current prevention strategies and response protocols for professionals in the social and educational sectors. The research methods include theoretical analysis of scientific and regulatory sources, the comparative method, and the systematisation and generalisation of domestic and foreign scientific literature on the subject under study. Theoretical analysis of the source base has shown that, under martial law, bullying and mobbing have taken on new forms and scales, whilst cyberbullying has moved beyond the educational environment, taking on the characteristics of a hybrid threat. A comparative analysis of the four phenomena – bullying, mobbing, cyberbullying and cybermobbing – made it possible to distinguish their legal grounds, forms of manifestation and consequences for the victims. The need for interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists in the fields of psychology, pedagogy, social work and law has been substantiated. It has been established that a key prerequisite for ensuring the psychosocial well-being of vulnerable population groups is the implementation of trauma-informed prevention strategies. The findings have practical significance for the development of effective mechanisms to counter these phenomena and for the formulation of state social policy regarding the protection of vulnerable population groups in the context of armed conflict. Looking ahead, it is important to develop comprehensive support programmes for affected individuals, taking into account the specificities of wartime and the experience of the international community.

SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS IN THE ACTIVITIES OF CHARITABLE FUNDS IN RESPECT OF SUPPORTING THE POPULATION OF DEOCCUPIED TERRITORIES


SUMMARY:

The tendency of transformation of charitable activities from sporadic humanitarian actions to a systemic institute of social protection allows to compensate for the deficit of state capabilities in the regions liberated from occupation. The social work of modern charitable foundations is aimed, first of all, at promoting the full restoration of the vital activity of communities. The article examines the specifics of social communications in the activities of charitable foundations in support of the affected population in the deoccupied territories of Ukraine in conditions of a full-scale war and its consequences. As part of the study, based on a comprehensive approach, an analytical collection of primary information on the practical activities of leading charitable foundations operating in the liberated Kherson, Donetsk and Kharkiv regions was carried out. Based on the problem analysis, the main weaknesses and strengths of the foundations’ activities were identified, as well as the specifics of social communications within them. It was established that in the deoccupied territories, in addition to the traditional main forms of social work - material assistance, medical assistance, educational programs, housing assistance, aspects of socio-psychological support, reintegration activities, digital services and legal support are of particular importance. At the same time, social communications of charitable foundations are considered as strategic interaction with potential partners, donors, beneficiaries to inform and strengthen trust. The main means of social communications in this regard are the media, social networks, podcasting and PR tools. The article substantiates the need to introduce digital technologies to increase the efficiency of social assistance coordination against the background of a general transition to a people-centered model of social work, with an emphasis on the individual needs of victims.

SOCIAL WORK IN GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS AS A FACTOR IN SHAPING APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AMONG ADOLESCENTS


SUMMARY:

In today’s context of societal transformation, rising social risks, and increasingly complex socialization processes, the issue of fostering lawful behavior among adolescents has become particularly relevant. An analysis of scientific research indicates that the problem of preventing juvenile delinquency is addressed within the fields of social pedagogy, psychology, criminology, and social work. At the same time, the question of defining the role of school social work as a systemic factor in shaping lawful behavior among adolescents requires further consideration. The purpose of this article is to justify the role of social work in general secondary education institutions as a factor in shaping lawful behavior among adolescents and to define its main substantive and functional characteristics. To achieve the set goal, a set of complementary research methods was used. Theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization) were applied to study scientific approaches to the prevention of adolescent offenses and to define the essence of school social work as a factor in shaping lawful behavior. The systemic method ensured the consideration of school social work as a holistic process comprising interrelated components, actors, and levels of influence. The environmental approach was used to analyze the role of the educational environment in shaping adolescents’ behavioral attitudes, while the resource-based approach was employed to justify the need to activate an individual’s internal and external resources. The study found that social work in general secondary schools performs a number of interrelated functions, the primary ones being preventive, educational, corrective-developmental, and coordinating. The preventive function is aimed at preventing offenses and deviant behavior; the educational function – at shaping value orientations; the corrective-developmental function – at overcoming behavioral deviations; and the coordinating function – at harmonizing the actions of all participants in the educational process. The results obtained allow us to assert that social work in general secondary schools is not only a component of the educational process but also an important factor in shaping lawful behavior among adolescents. Its effectiveness is determined by its systematic nature, comprehensiveness, and focus on the adolescent as an active participant in social interaction. Prospects for further research involve experimentally testing the effectiveness of the proposed approaches and developing practical recommendations for their implementation.

ENGINEERING GRAPHICS AS A TOOL FOR INTEGRATING GENERAL AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF CADETS


SUMMARY:

The article examines the problem of insufficient integration of engineering graphics with the content of general and professional training disciplines for cadets in higher military educational institutions. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing requirements for the level of graphic and general engineering training of future military specialists in the context of modern technical and technological changes and the need to form professional competencies. It is substantiated that fragmented acquisition of graphic knowledge in the absence of systematic interdisciplinary links complicates the development of spatial thinking, graphic culture, and cadets’ ability to effectively operate engineering information. The purpose of the article is to determine the role of engineering graphics in ensuring the holistic professional training of cadets and to analyze the possibilities of its integration with basic and professionally oriented disciplines. The methodological framework of the study includes the analysis and generalization of scientific and pedagogical sources, a survey of cadets, as well as a comparative analysis of learning outcomes. The study found that practice-oriented tasks in engineering graphics contribute to the development of spatial thinking, the formation of skills for interpreting the shape and structure of technical objects based on drawings, and improve the level of mastery of professionally oriented disciplines. The research results confirm that aligning the content, objectives, and practical tasks of engineering graphics with the educational objectives of specialized disciplines has a positive effect on the development of skills in reading and creating design documentation. The feasibility of implementing an integrated engineering graphics course focused on the professional needs of military engineers is substantiated, which has practical significance for improving the educational process in higher military educational institutions.
