Assessment of the level of readiness of future teachers to create psychological safety in the educational environment

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.
