THE ROLE OF A TEACHER IN EDUCATING A SOCIALLY SUCCESSFUL STUDENT

Abstract

The article discusses various approaches to understanding such categories as “success”, “successfulness”, “socially successful personality”, and proves the necessity of forming a socially successful personality, as the period of studying at a general education institution is the most favorable for this. Based on the scientific and methodological literature on the topic of the study, the authors have shown that the problem of social success in psychological and pedagogical science has not been comprehensively studied, and only some aspects of this phenomenon have been examined. The article describes the role of a teacher-educator in the development of a socially successful individual, and various aspects of their activities in this process. The authors present some results of an experimental study that reflects the degree of social success achieved by students in the final grades of two schools in Vladikavkaz. The article concludes that one of the leading conditions ensuring the effectiveness of the formation of a socially successful student’s personality is a teacher-educator, a person with moral qualities who loves children immensely and is not indifferent to their destinies.
