Socio-psychological aspects of adaptation of foreign students

Abstract

The article deals with the socio-psychological aspects of adaptation of foreign students to the conditions of the educational environment. Adaptation of students to the educational process at a university generally affects the professional training of young specialists. The current and future successes of students and the process of their professional development depend on how long the adaptation process takes place in terms of time and various conditions. In the course of this study, paying attention to the socio-psychological and pedagogical side of adaptation, we supplemented the below-mentioned complex with cultural aspects. Interest in this topic can be traced from the excessive number of literary sources that consider adaptation issues in one aspect or another. We believe, adaptation potential as a set of personal properties is largely related to subjective factors, which to a certain extent characterizes the psychological state of the individual. The conducted studies, regardless of the identified characteristics of adaptation potential, do not provide an accurate explanation of the mechanism of its formation in the process of educational activities.
