Relevance. Working in extreme conditions requires from psychologists involved in the implementation of measures for emergency rescue and other urgent work, not only to change the usual working conditions, but also to work effectively to provide emergency psychological assistance (EPA) to victims. At the same time, the motives for their participation in such events are very variable, and differ not only in content, but also in the degree of expression, since not all specialists are ready for such a format of professional activity.Intention: To study the degree of motivational readiness of psychologists to provide emergency psychological assistance to victims, as well as to identify the features of the motivational sphere that determine the participation of specialists in this type of professional activity.Methodology. We examined 117 psychologists using a questionnaire on the self-assessment of the motivational readiness of psychologists to provide emergency psychological assistance and the assessment of the leading motives that stimulate participation in this type of professional activity. Standardized psychodiagnostic techniques were also used: “Test of life orientations” (adaptation by D.A. Leontiev), questionnaire “Motivation for success and fear of failure” (A.A. Rean), questionnaire for study motivation to achieve success and motivation to avoid failure (T. Ehlers), questionnaire “Diagnosis of the motivational structure of the individual” (V.E. Milman). Results and Discussion. The results of the self-assessment questionnaire on the motivational readiness of psychologists to provide emergency psychological assistance showed that, in general, psychologists positively assess themselves according to this criterion (6.4 ± 2.2 out of 10 possible points). 46 % of psychologists have a high level of its formation, 36.5 % – average, 17.5 % of psychologists – low. The motivational readiness of psychologists has a 4-component structure and is made up of professional, hedonistic and emotional motives, and motives of recognition. The use of standardized psychodiagnostic methods demonstrated that motivational readiness to provide emergency psychological assistance is associated with the desire to achieve success, the idea of oneself as a strong person who has freedom of choice and independently controls the events of one’s own life, the desire for a high social status, the focus on creative activity and social utility.Conclusion. The studied features of motivational readiness of psychologists can be used for differentiated training of psychologists to provide emergency psychological assistance, and also taken into account for selecting specialists of this profile to work in extreme conditions.

Cognitive Paradigms

The article analyzes the paradigm space of higher education in Ukraine. It is proved that the modern education paradigm has a synthetic character, is based on the polyparadigmality principles and is a synthesis of personally oriented ideas, semantic and cognitive paradigms of education. Their nature and characteristics are considered. The units of analysis selected certain components of the paradigm, namely: mission, goals, objectives, guiding values, content of education, basic didactic tools, teacher-student relationships, criteria, functions. It is proved that the situation of confrontation and contradiction of personally oriented, semantic and cognitive paradigms of education is unacceptable, since each of them has its positives and limitations. It was found that cognitive education provides significant potential for intellectual development of the individual, it is its apparent positive. Proved that the cognitive limitations of education lies in its normative and purely social utility, which not related to the unique personality implementation, which is a passive “object” of teacher pedagogical influence; informative cognitive priority led to its content and disciplinary overload, is a serious problem of modern education in higher education institutions. Proved that priority is individually oriented paradigm associated with the formation of free, individual initiative as the “subject” of his life and this education paradigm is reflexive oriented because its values are leading self-awareness, self-development and personal fulfilment future specialist. However, objective knowledge is sometimes overlooked, and this is a certain difficulty of personally oriented education. It is found out that the benefits of the education semantic paradigm are related to the value-semantic attitude formation towards future professional activity, with updating of personal semantic experience; with semantic choice, with development of future specialist semantic potential. The reflexive nature of the personally oriented, semantic and cognitive paradigms of education is substantiated, and it is proved that the modern paradigm of higher education space will constitute a polyparadigmatic synthesis of their ideas accumulated in the education reflexive paradigm. The polyparadigmality essence is revealed as a research methodology, which is a conceptual synthesis of several existing educational paradigms.

Introduction: The effectiveness of the medical activities carried out and the medical provision of the victims of disasters is directly dependent on the capabilities of the hospital staff. With good staff preparation, even in high-risk situations, the vulnerability of hospitals is reduced. Objective: Analysis of the self-assessment of hospital staff in Bulgaria for their disaster preparedness and assessment of preventive measures to reduce the adverse effects of disasters. Material and methods: sociological and statistical methods are used. During the period 2014-2019, an anonymous survey was conducted among the staff of hospitals in the capital and other cities in Bulgaria. The study involved 1,043 people in the 19–78 age range, working as persons performing administrative activities, doctors, health care professionals and other staff. Results: Almost all respondents expressed the opinion that a potential disaster would have an impact on the ability of hospitals to function and provide care for patients. The comparative analysis of the responses to the question of self-assessment of the hospital staff for their readiness to participate in the evacuation of the medical facility in emergency situations shows that the administrative staff significantly more often has indicated the answer "I'm somewhat prepared theoretically and practically, but I don't feel confident" (28.30%). The physicians most often indicated the answer "I have been prepared and participated in an emergency situation" (46.70%). In the other staff, the answer "unprepared" is most often indicated (65.0%), followed by a statistically equivalent frequency of "prepared only theoretically" and "I have been prepared and participated in an emergency situation". The study found a discrepancy between the expressed need for further updating of the knowledge of all staff groups and the frequency of the proposal to include specific training programs in the plans of medical institutions. Conclusions: Factors such as self-esteem and age influence the desire for training and initiative of the staff of the medical institutions. It is necessary to specify the forms to increase the readiness of medical institutions for emergency response.

The article is devoted to the problem of formation and development of the group of universal competences “Intercultural interaction” of master’s students studying in the specialty 08.04.01 Construction. It is shown that the formation of these competences is one of the pressing tasks of higher education. The article presents scientific views on the notion of intercultural interaction. It is concluded that the intercultural interaction is complex, interdisciplinary, described by a number of related terms that require further clarification and distinction. As a working notion, it is proposed to consider intercultural interaction as an integrated characteristic of the competences required for the individual included in social interaction with other cultures (multicultural environment). And the competences themselves are defined by the main approaches to the notion of culture, as well as indicators of their achievements. Experimental data of master’s students of construction specialties on self-assessment of the level of development and rank in professional self-education of competences “Intercultural interaction” are given, which show the need for their further formation, as well as a weak understanding of the importance of these competences for professional activity. The author proposes a pedagogical model for the development of the group of competences “Intercultural interaction”, using a competence-based approach with active and interactive forms of training.

The article deals with the socio-philosophical aspects and proposes an analysis of the ideas and views of thinkers of different historical epochs and times on the problems of self-realization and self-motivation. The theoretical basis for the study of the aspects of this problem was the fundamental approaches to the self-knowledge and motivation of the personality of the philosophers of antiquity (Epicurus, Socrates, Plato), the Middle Ages (K. Alexandria, St. Augustine), the Renaissance (D. Alighieri, F. Petrarca, M. Montaigne), New Time (B. Pascal, B. Spinoza) and German Philosophy (I. Kant, I. G. Fichte, A. Schopenhauer). The proof of the history of studying the problem of self-realization and personality motivation during its formation allows to emphasize the important essence of the aspiration of individuals to self- motivation as to the ultimate realization of the personal potential of a person. The analysis of motivation and self-motivation as an effective system of self-development and self-realization of the personality is conducted. An attempt has been made to generalize author's studies and representations of the essence of the processes of motivation and self- motivation of the individual and highlighted a number of aspects that focus the attention of researchers in explaining the essence of these processes. The disclosure of the ideas reflected in the study contributes to the further study and development of the structure of the process of self-motivation of the person, the mechanisms for its activation, the creation of pedagogical conditions that stimulate this process in professional activity.

The article presents the results of theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to the self-efficacy problem study of the individual in general and the social services specialist, in particular. The research stated the ambiguity of the interpretation of the concept of “self-efficacy” and, at the same time, the role of self-efficacy in successful professional activity. We identified the main approaches to the study of the self-efficacy problem study of the individual and related concepts, which are: socio-cognitive psychoanalytic behavioural; personal and activity; humanistic; subjective; effective; competence; resource, acmeological approach, etc. We proposed the acmeological approach as a basis in the context of the study of the self-efficacy problems, and its development, within which self-efficacy should be considered as an essential factor in achieving professional social specialists’ “acme”. It is shown that self-efficacy should be studied because of the possibility of its development in specially organized psychological training and socio-psychological support of specialists’ self-efficacy, their beliefs, belief in their ability to implement activities, evaluation of their effectiveness and expectations for self-realization, and professional activity.

The article deals with the structure of future dentists’ foreign language competence based on the analysis of data from scientific sources on the problem of research and own pedagogical experience.In particular, its main components are distinguished as gnosiological, activity and reflexive ones. Gnoseological component characterizes the system of knowledge in speech covering linguistic, deontological and socio-cultural constituents. The linguistic one is considered as knowledge of professional vocabulary, grammar and phonetics. Deontological part is described as the complex of knowledge, skills and moral as well as educational qualities for performing professional activity. Sociocultural constituent is defined as proper understanding of the culture of a foreign country.These constituents of gnoseological component are closely interconnected among each other. The second component of future dentists’ foreign language communicative competence is the activity one that reflects the ability to implement the acquired knowledge during practice. It consists of academic and foreign language communicative competences. The formation of foreign language communicative competence for future Dental Specialists is aimed at developing the skills of timely selection of appropriate professional terms, based not only on the content but also on the ability to grammatically correctly formulate sentences in practical speech and overcome the language barrier. In this way, the readiness of a specialist to use professional vocabulary in speech is realized. Therefore, it is expedient to introduce discursive and strategic components into the structure of the foreign language communicative competence.And the final component of foreign language structure is called reflexive element which involves the self-assessment of own achievements and the ability to increase their level.

Assessment Of Competencies

The article presents theoretical and empirical materials devoted to the urgent problem of justification and implementation of the competence approach in pedagogical education. The most important component of the methodology of the competence approach is a reasonable assessment of the degree of formation of the main competencies of professional activity, including pedagogical activity. In addition, the assessment of competencies is also an important component of the teacher certification procedure. Of particular importance in this case there is the self-assessment of competencies: the teacher’s idea of the extent to which he has formed certain competencies. The study of this issue is relevant, first of all, in practical terms. The article presents and interprets the results of a comparative study of reflexive self-assessment of competencies by bachelor-students and teachers. The analysis of modern foreign and domestic approaches to the assessment and selfassessment of professional competencies is given, and their differences are characterized. It is shown, in particular, that individual aspects of pedagogical activity are mainly evaluated abroad, there is no integral characteristic of the teacher’s work, and the criteria for evaluating competencies are not clearly defined. Russian education is characterized by a comprehensive and multi-stage assessment of the teacher’s activity, taking into account the indicators of self-assessment of professional achievements and self-assessment of the formation of professional competencies. An empirical study has established that the self-assessment of competencies by both students and teachers is on average and below average levels. In addition, there is a very pronounced similarity in the self-assessment of competencies by third- and fourthyear undergraduate students. So, they both overestimate the competence in providing the information basis of teaching and competence of area of personal qualities and also have a low opinion of the competence of motivating learners to undertake learning activity. A new scientific fact was obtained and interpreted, which is that, contrary to the traditional opinion: not only students, but also professional teachers have a poorly differentiated view of the structure of their activity. As a result, their self-assessment of the degree of formation of the activity components and, accordingly, the main competencies of pedagogical activity is also poorly differentiated, generalized and in some cases syncretic. Therefore, an important direction for improving the training of student-teachers is the formation of correct and complete ideas about the psychological content and structural organization of their professional activity, as well as its main components.

The historical aspect and the essence of the term of readiness for work as a special mental state; a necessary and extremely important component of a successful professional life of a person is studied in the article. Readiness for a certain phenomenon helps person to adapt more quickly and to fulfill his duties more successfully. It contributes to the development of personality. The author points out that an analysis of the problem of readiness shows that the genesis of this concept is related to the development and understanding of the concept of "psychological readiness for work". It can be defined as permanent (as a result of labor education) or temporary (as a result of psychological training or psychological mobilization during this period) mental condition, which is caused due to the need for work. The question of the readiness of a specialist for professional activity is studied within such sciences as: psychology, pedagogy, philosophy. The author's determination of readiness is formulated during the conduction of the research. The author proposes to understand the readiness as a complex integrative formation, characterizing a particular mental state. It is a necessary and essential component of a successful professional life of the individual. It helps a person to adapt more quickly, to fulfill his professional duties more successfully; it promotes professional development of a specialist. Readiness includes not only professional characteristics and skills, but either personal trait. The conclusion is made that since readiness is a dynamic value, it means that its course is determined by age, by learning experience, individual abilities of the person and so on. The author summarizes the importance of the development of psychological readiness for work during the formation of the personality of a modern specialist. It is emphasized that professional readiness cannot be the same as a subjective professional readiness. According to the modern scientific researches the author distinguishes particular levels of professional readiness, such as: high (autonomy in setting and solving new tasks, adequacy of assessment and self-assessment of professionally important qualities, ability to effectively solve problems during time deficit, etc.); average (average level of expression of the mentioned qualities); and low (inability to set and solve complex problems independently, inadequate assessment and self-assessment of professionally important features, etc.

The article deals with the issues of the activity of civil servants of the State Service of Ukraine for emergency situations, the general concept of interpersonal relations of workers with victims is disclosed, the main aspects of rendering emergency psychological assistance are considered. The ways of perfection of professional optimization of interpersonal relations of workers of rescue units of the DSNC of Ukraine with the victims are analyzed. The analysis and consideration of all existing forms, methods and methods of providing emergency psychological assistance as a single system. For the first time, it is proposed to consider the provision of emergency psychological assistance as a multi-channel queuing system with an unlimited queue. Proposals have been made on the activities of government bodies and civil servants to improve the forms, methods and methods of providing emergency psychological assistance to victims in emergency situations. It is noted that for many years, along with the development of psychological ideas, concepts and theories, there was a large “army” of psychologists who worked in health care institutions, in production, in education, in the internal affairs, aviation and space industries, and other sectors of the national economy. The content and results of their activities often did not fall on the pages of newspapers or in scientific publications. But these psychologists and their work often served as the primary source for experimental research and theoretical work of scientists. It is proved that any person, following certain recommendations and having information about the personality characteristics of the victim, will be able to provide him with the first psychological help in certain circumstances. It is very important to know how to help the victim immediately after the tragic event, to master the skills of working with the individual consequences of psycho-traumatic situations. It is especially important to know, in order to identify in a timely manner unfavorable psychological conditions and seek help from a specialist.
