PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL PREVENTION OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR AS A MEANS OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

The article considers psychological and pedagogical prevention of deviant behaviour as a means of personal development of adolescents. The high scientific and social significance of the problem of deviant behaviour is confirmed by numerous theoretical and applied studies of this issue. An important task of teachers, psychologists and parents is in time to detect manifestations of antisocial behaviour in adolescents and find the right way of psychological and pedagogical prevention of deviant behaviour. At the same time, special attention should be paid to self-regulation of the younger generation, to show possible ways for constructive conflict resolution and development of positive self-esteem, and to teach them to express their emotions and feelings in a socially acceptable form. School plays a vital role in child and adolescent development. By learning and understanding the underlying causes, we can effectively identify the main factors contributing to deviation from societal norms. This knowledge enables us to implement preventative measures. With early prevention, the tasks of finding and neutralising the possible causes of a child’s deviant behaviour are solved; such work is aimed at all children and adolescents. Late prevention, on the other hand, involves corrective measures for adolescents whose behaviour no longer conforms to accepted standards.
