Logical Structure of Pedagogical Support of Students’ Social Adaptation

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the need to identify the organization structure
of pedagogical support of students’ social adaptation. The increased scientific interest
to social adaptation is justified by the crisis situation in the field of economic, political,
social and spiritual relations. They are characterized by economic instability,
environmental and demographic problems, cultivation of various value systems,
deterioration in the health of the younger generation, insecurity of many categories of
the population, growth of children’s and juvenile delinquency, suicide in the modern
world. Thus, the purpose of the research is to identify the logical structure of
pedagogical support of students’ social adaptation as theoretical and methodological
basis for its implementation. The leading methods are pedagogical modeling and
design. The comparative historical and pedagogical analysis made it possible to
identify possibilities for optimizing pedagogical support of students’ social adaptation
for the organization of pedagogical modeling and design. The authors of the article
present: conceptual foundations of pedagogical support of students’ social adaptation
as scientific and pedagogical direction ensuring the success of a certain teacher and
institution; the logical structure of the process of pedagogical support of students’
social adaptation, showing consistency and interconnectedness of the implementation
of the system, group and individual kinds of support from the strategy development
to swarming tactics and choosing an adequate technology. Moreover, the authors
define the component composition of the accompaniment process, which is presented
by theoretical-methodological, information-analytical, informative, technological,
managerial and expert components. As a result of the experimental research carried
out from 2002 up to the present, and the experimental introduction of the results of
the research, we can see positive dynamics of the level of students’ social adaptation
at educational organizations. All specialists who provide pedagogical support of
students’ social adaptation (administrators, teachers, organizers, teachers of additional
education, social educators) have received special theoretical and methodical training
at seminars and scientific and practical laboratories conducted by the authors of the
article. The logical structure of pedagogical support of students’ social adaptation can
be used in scientific research. In addition, it is possible to build different processes of
the activity of educational organizations of various types on the basis of organizing
pedagogical support of social adaptation of younger generations.
