THE CONTENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT OF THE PREPARATION PROCESS FOR THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE ABILIMPIX COMPETITION
Abstract
Background. The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that people with disabilities face many problems throughout their lives related to the lack of integration into many spheres of society. The problem of disability in its most serious aspects is closely related to the emergence of many social obstacles, due to which people with disabilities cannot actively participate in public life, since leisure and culture, everyday life and production, as well as social services, in a structural sense, are not adapted to the needs that sick people have. The authors prove that for people with disabilities, psychological and pedagogical support is necessary for their full inclusion in the educational process and public life. Purpose - theoretical and empirical substantiation of the content of psychological and pedagogical support for the preparation of participants of the Abilimpix competition and the development of a program of psychological and pedagogical support for the preparation of participants of the Abilimpix competition. Materials and methods. The main research method is psychological and pedagogical analysis. Empirical methods were used as an element of the evidence base of the theoretical propositions put forward. The article is based on a set of sources of psychological, pedagogical, methodological and normative literature on the problem under study. Results. Psychological and pedagogical support of inclusive education is a specially organized process aimed at creating safe conditions, maintaining health and developing adaptive capabilities of people with disabilities. Inclusive support in vocational education is not just the integration of students with special educational needs into the educational process, but the creation of special conditions for the psychological comfort and success of such students. Mandatory conditions for support are taking into account the individual characteristics and educational needs of students with disabilities, as well as prevention and prevention of possible problems that arise both in the process of interaction with society and in the educational process. Comprehensive study support for students with disabilities is one of the important requirements for the organization of the educational process for the disabled and people with disabilities. Comprehensive support includes: tutor support; pedagogical support; psychological and pedagogical support. The experience of inclusive support in vocational education shows that psychological and pedagogical support is included in various aspects of the educational process - in extracurricular, educational activities and, in particular, psychological and pedagogical support for participation in professional skills competitions, where students with disabilities show their skills in the professions they are learning. Conducting professional skill contests for students with disabilities gives students the opportunity to evaluate their capabilities and abilities, demonstrate their professional knowledge and skills, increase professional motivation, students increase self-esteem, actively form professional interest in their chosen business, increase the level of socialization, which, in turn, allows them to adapt more effectively to independent life to occupy a niche in the labor market. The main problems of support, according to teachers, are the lack of experience in inclusive support and low motivation of students with disabilities to participate in the Abilimpics competition. Among the psychological barriers of the contestants, the fear of failure, self-doubt and fear of public speaking are dominant.
