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.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the role of conscious self-regulation in the “frustration — aggression” system. A sample of teachers (N = 247) collected data on conscious self-regulation (questionnaire Selfregulation style of educational activity), the level of aggressiveness (Bass-Darki questionnaire), the level of social frustration (Wasserman questionnaire, etc.) ... The place of frustration among external and internal factors causing aggression has been determined; the structure of the connection between conscious self-regulation and aggression has been established. An empirical model of psychological predictors of aggression was constructed using the method of modeling by structural equations. The results demonstrate a significant contribution of conscious self-regulation to the “frustration — aggression” system. Conscious self-regulation acts as a resource for reducing the likelihood of aggressive manifestations at the stage of evaluating the results, when it becomes necessary to assess the situation caused, to search for a new meaning in achieving the goal. The developed ability to assess the results in a standard mode allows you to compensate for some personality traits. The regulatory and personal properties of independence and flexibility act as a kind of guides in the “frustration — aggression” system in cases where the effectiveness of achieving the goal is threatened. The results obtained make it possible to deepen the understanding of the resource role of regulatory mechanisms in conditions of frustration.

AbstractThis article presents the results of scientific-pedagogical research, which consisted in identifying, what are the best strategies of stimulation of students’ interest in the teaching by competency-based approach studying the works of Latin American scientists. With support in the pedagogic-comparative study the author has found out that in the Mexican education system the competency-based approach has been implemented since 2009 through the new national educational policies and Reform of Basic Education in which documents it is argued that competence means putting in play knowledge, attitudes, skills and values for achieving purposes in certain contexts and situations. One of the key tasks of the teacher is to lead and keep the attention of his/her students towards certain goals. Motivation to learning represents the socio-emotional or psychosocial variables (social identity, attitude to the subject, motivation), involved in learning on par with the educational variables (teacher, methodology, learning context); individual variables (subject learning abilities, aptitudes, needs, personality); socio-demographic variables (student’s age, sex, socio-economic and socio-cultural level); sociopolitical context variables (importance in the society of knowledge that provides the subject). The study has showed that the best strategies for stimulation of students’ interest in the learning by competency-based approach, following the Latin American scientists, are, among others, modeling, adapting, making the content of the studied discipline “accessible” to the student’s needs; developing students’ autonomy in learning; promoting conscious learning; establishing dynamic and equitable system of interrelations in the class; creating positive psychological environment; raising the illustrative and dynamic teaching; ensuring the self-control and self-regulation; using the error as part of the learning process (and not as punitive).

In the article, theoretical-and methodological approaches of modern scholars to the issue of implementing learning strategies into the process of teaching foreign languages are ascertained. The development of strategies and the strategy repertoire along with factors that influence the choice of strategies and their transfer to different learning contexts is considered. Strategy instruction and its impact on language learners are observed. The variety and diversity of factors affecting the choice and the use of learning strategies, namely, motivation, learner autonomy, self-regulation, prior learning experience and students’ beliefs, which determine individual choice of language learning strategies by students of higher education establishments are analyzed. The transfer of general learning strategies to new learning contexts, notably to learning foreign languages, and the predictive value they have in language achievement is defined. The value and importance of learning strategies and the relationship between success, achievement and performance and examined. The teaching of the wide scope of strategies to language students to help them become more efficient, effective and productive is addressed. Possible differences in learning strategy types and frequency of strategy use in low and high strategy users as well as high and low achievers of foreign language learners are identified. Research needs to be conducted to find more efficient ways of training learners to use language learning strategies effectively. The length, the amount and the type of strategy instruction that has more impact on the students’ adoption of learning of strategies should be scrutinized. The type of strategies that learners are more susceptible to accept and adopt not only in the short term but also in the long term should be analyzed. No study has been conducted in the general set of strategies which beginner learners of English transfer from their general repertoire of strategies to language learning as the primary tools to face language learning and the extent to which these strategies will help them in attaining success in language learning.

На основі аналізу психолого-педагогічної літератури виокремлено чотири структурні компоненти навчальної діяльності вихованців дитячого хореографічного колективу: мотиваційний, цільовий, діяль-нісно-творчий та рефлексивно-суб’єктний. З’ясовано, що мотиваційний компонент навчальної діяльно-сті вихованців дитячого хореографічного колективу відбиває систему мотивів (внутрішніх та зовніш-ніх), які спонукають дітей до занять з хореографії, формують потребу в навчанні, опануванні різних видів танцю, сприяють вдосконаленню, саморозвитку, а також підвищують рівень особливих інтересів та захоплень мистецтвом хореографії, зацікавленість та активну участь у виконавчій, імпровізаційній та творчій танцювальній діяльності. Цільовий компонент навчальної діяльності вихованців дитячого хореографічного колективу відбиває процес постановки мети, її деталізації та завдань, спрямованих на оволодіння системою хореографічних знань, умінь та навичок, уявлення про майбутні труднощі, умо-ви виконання завдань, обсяг знань, прийомів, засобів і способів досягнення мети. Діяльнісно-творчий компонент навчальної діяльності вихованців дитячого хореографічного колективу відбиває систему вмінь і навичок як сукупності способів здійснення виконавчої, імпровізаційної та творчої танцювальної діяльності. Рефлексивно-суб’єктний компонент навчальної діяльності вихованців дитячого хореогра-фічного колективу відбиває вміння керувати своїм внутрішнім світом, рефлексувати, володіти собою, своїм настроєм, мімікою, жестами (саморегуляція), уміння швидко реагувати на поведінку оточуючих людей, уміння швидко приймати правильні рішення у різних складних ситуаціях навчально-виховно-го, постановчо-творчого та особливо фестивально-конкурсного етапів роботи колективу, формувати емоційну стабільність, найповніше використовувати свої потенційні можливості, викликати відчуття стриманої сили, упевненості в собі, енергійності, активності. The article describes the notion of educational activity of pupils of children’s choreographic collective as a specific type of purposeful activity on mastering the system of choreographic knowledge as information to be mastered, choreographic skills and skills as ways of activity, experience of choreographic creativity, the interconnection of the processes of learning and mastering choreographic art. The structural components of the educational activity of the pupils of the children’s choreographic team were found out: motivational, target, activity-creative and reflexive-subjective.The motivational component of the educational activities of the children of the choreographic team reflects the system of motives (internal and external) that encourage children to engage in choreography, training needs, mastering different types of dance, improvement, self-development, as well as the level of special interests and passion for their art, and active participation in the performing, improvisation and creative dance activities. The target component of the educational activities of the children of the choreographic team reflects the process of goal setting, its detail and tasks aimed at mastering the system of choreographic knowledge, skills, understanding of future difficulties, conditions of the tasks, the scope of knowledge, techniques, means and methods. The activity-creative component of the educational activity of the pupils of the children’s choreographic team reflects the system of skills as a set of ways of performing executive, improvisational and creative dance activities.
