PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR PREVENTION OF NEGATIVE PHENOMENA IN ADOLESCENT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

The article highlights the necessity of addressing the issue of preventing negative phenomena in adolescent environments within the context of modern educational organizations. It describes the essence and causes of negative phenomena, as well as the factors influencing their spread among adolescents. The article substantiates the pedagogical conditions for preventing negative phenomena in adolescent environments, which are comprehensive in nature and aimed at consolidating the resources of all participants in the educational process. Ways to implement the identified pedagogical conditions in the school environment are proposed through the trial of an extracurricular program for adolescents titled “School of Kindness and Mutual Understanding,” which aims to update contemporary educational practices focused on fostering a sense of community among children and creating a safe space for each adolescent’s life activities. The work outlines strategies for involving the teaching staff in processes of understanding and preventing adolescent issues, as well as opportunities for organizing psychological and pedagogical education for parents aimed at enhancing parental competence regarding the prevention of negative phenomena in adolescent environments. The authors conclude that the involvement of all participants in the educational process (students, teachers, parents) in activities aimed at preventing negative phenomena among adolescents is fundamental to creating a psychologically comfortable and safe educational environment.
