Some features of the idea about caring of students of psychological and pedagogical direction

Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the features of representations of care in students of psychological and pedagogical direction and gives their psychological interpretation. The data obtained in the course of the research allow us to identify some areas for the development of adequate ideas about care in the preparation of bachelors in the field of psychology and pedagogy at the university. This seems necessary, since their future professional activities are directly related to providing care for their wards. Features of students ideas about care were studied by comparing them with the ideas about this phenomenon in experienced teachers of preschool educational institutions, as well as scientifi c understanding of it. Based on the analysis of scientifi c literature, we assumed: 1) associations related to the emotional component of care in connection with the intensive development of emotional potential in youth, a way of life that does not involve responsibility for other people will prevail in the ideas about the care of students in the fi eld of psychological and pedagogical education; 2) teachers ideas about care will refl ect its connection with activities, work, and are more saturated with characteristics related to the behavioral component of care, since, due to their richer life and professional experience of its implementation, care for them appears as a contribution to another, requiring the investment of their own forces. The main method of research was a group associative experiment, the results of which confi rmed our hypothesis. It was concluded that care is deeply woven into the life and work of educators, future educators and is associated with the phenomena of goodness, love, and warmth that are important for every person. Scientifi c ideas can enrich the ordinary, revealing the connection of care with meaning, with self-fulfi llment, showing not only its signifi cance for human life, but also for the World in general. Students of psychological and pedagogical direction in the course of training at the University should be equipped with specifi c tools for caring for wards, expanding its behavioral component, and show that care is, fi rst of all, work that is important to perform even when it does not bring pleasure.
