THE CONCEPT OF HUMAN EMOTIONS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS AS COMPONENTS OF MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

The article reveals various approaches that exist in science, on the nature and essence of emotions, on the principles and functions of emotions, on features of manifestation of emotions among younger schoolchildren from the point of view of psychology and pedagogy. As a result of the study of the categories of emotions and the function of emotions, it is concluded that within the framework of educational activities psychological neoplasms are formed, which not only characterize the most significant achievements in the development of younger schoolchildren, but also form the foundation for the development of children at the next age stage. Each age period of the child has its own prerequisites for emotional growth. Junior school age is more due to the willingness and ability to emotionally perceive, experience and remember. Enhanced emotional susceptibility to the actions of others and its assimilation is a special side of the personality of a young student, which characterizes personal qualities and their development in the future. Among the age psychological features of younger schoolchildren, motor and sensory perceptual activity stands out; intellectual and strong-willed; motivational and emotional activity; the ability to include all these techniques in their own practical and creative activities, in communication with adults and peers, in behavior. Scientific research indicates that this age period is favorable, since it is sensible to form an emotional-aesthetic attitude to the surrounding reality.
