Формування навичок емоційної стійкості учасників освітнього процесу в умовах надзвичайних ситуацій

Abstract

The article emphasizes that organizing the educational process during a state of war fosters collective hope for social change and improvements in life. It also alleviates people's fears of the future and the unknown, aiding educators and students in utilizing education as a tool for building a peaceful and just world in the future. The authors analyzed available informational resources in Ukraine and abroad concerning the development of emotional resilience skills among participants in the educational process amid emergencies. It's highlighted that despite a significant increase in natural disasters, technological catastrophes, social and military conflicts worldwide, issues related to organizing education in emergencies haven't become a priority in scientific research. In the context of ongoing and integrated manifestations of extraordinary situations—be it natural (COVID-19 pandemic), technological (power outages, lack of communication, accidents in heating stations, fires), social (cyberattacks, population evacuations, false alerts in institutions), or military (rocket attacks, drone strikes, territorial threats, etc.)—the Ukrainian education system strives to continue functioning. This demands considerable physical and, more importantly, psychological efforts from educational participants, given that they all work under constant stress. However, the problems related to organizing education in emergencies of a military nature have yet to find proper reflection in Ukrainian pedagogical science. One of the significant psychological factors for effective performance in emergency situations is emotional resilience, which reduces the negative impact of strong emotions, maintains readiness for action, and prevents severe stress. Therefore, the authors conclude that further scientific research on the emotional resilience of educational participants in situations of war, characterized by frequent occurrences of various emergencies, is crucial for Ukraine. Developing methodologies for fostering and enhancing emotional resilience skills is essential.
