Formation of psychological self-help skills as a component of the psychological competence of 9th grade students in the course “Health, Safety and Well-Being”
Abstract
The article highlights the topical issue of developing psychological self-help skills as an important element of adolescents’ psychological competence.
The purpose of the article is to investigate and substantiate the effectiveness of developing psychological self-help skills of 9th grade students through the use of the educational potential of the
course “Health, Safety and Well-Being”.
The article states that adolescence, which is typical for 9th grade students, is a key period of personal identity formation, accompanied by significant emotional and social changes. This period is of particular importance as it helps adolescents to manage emotions, build healthy relationships and effectively resolve conflicts. It is determined that psychological competence is a multidimensional characteristic that includes cognitive, emotional and behavioral components. The article analyzes the textbooks on the course “Health, Safety and Wellbeing” for the 9th grade and finds that the formation of psychological competence is an important element of the educational process of the New Ukrainian School. The content of the textbooks is aimed at developing emotional self-regulation, stress resistance, adaptability, effective communication and social interaction, with special attention paid to psychological safety and emotional literacy of students. However, some aspects of this process require further improvement and deeper consideration. In particular, insufficient attention is paid to such key aspects as the practicality of tasks, individualization of approaches, work with emotional crises and adaptation to the realities of war.
The article describes the key aspects of 9th grade students’ psychological competence and presents the results of studying the level of development of the components of students’ psychological competence and testing the effectiveness of the developed lessons aimed at developing psychological self-help skills. The results of the study confirm the importance of implementing these lessons for the successful development of emotional self-regulation, social interaction and stress resistance of students.
