PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN A MULTINATIONAL TEAM

Abstract

The article offers several different approaches to understanding multiculturalism and, in this context, provides a forecast for organizing work in a multicultural environment. The author of the article cites the results of a study that shows that being part of a multinational collective has an impact on both relocated subjects and localized representatives. Mental health, the ability to adapt to new conditions, and the level of self-identification in the profession and in society depend on the environment and circumstances in which students find themselves. Especially important is the period of adaptation to conditions of learning and interaction. The author also reveals advantages of interaction of individuals in a multicultural team, during which there is mutual learning and mutual enrichment of cultural and emotional components, which increases the level of creativity and cognitive abilities. The presented material allows to structure the pedagogical process in multinational teams in such a way as to maximize the potential of interaction between different cultures, as well as to reduce the risks of interethnic conflicts, which are often based on intolerance and rejection of different ethnic and cultural representatives.
