The advantages of developing a physicaleducation teacher’s vitalityand adapability during changes and crises

The scientific article is devoted to the analysis of factors and predictors affecting
the process of activation of vitality and adaptability of a physical culture
teacher in conditions of crisis and uncertainty. The analysis of literary sources
of information made it possible to identify resilience as a system of personal
beliefs, which can contribute to the development of a person’s willingness to
choose to participate in situations of increased complexity for him, to keep
control over them and manage them, to be able to perceive even negative events
as an experience and successfully cope with them. The conducted research made
it possible to determine four factors of subjectively significant psychological
threats for the physical culture teacher in the educational environment (social
nature, labor intensity, interpersonal relations, digitalization of education). Direct
correlations of the physical education teacher’s satisfaction with the significant
characteristics of the educational –environment, its referential significance,
psychological security with well-being and vitality have been revealed; inverse
relationships between threats of a social nature and the teacher’s well-being,
vitality, psychological safety and referential significance. It was established that
the main predictors of the physical culture teacher’s viability in the educational
environment were his referentiality and subjectively significant threats of a
social nature for the teacher. Taking into account the identified predictors of the
physical culture teacher’s sustainability, it becomes obvious that the tasks of the
school should include the creation of a more emotionally favorable educational
ecosystem for the teacher, which would encourage a sense of personal value
on the part of its subject, reducing the tendency to alienation, supporting the
referentiality of the environment. It was determined that in order to promote the
more effective development of the vitality of the physical education teacher, it is
advisable to conduct training in interpersonal communication skills, which will
help prepare specialists to participate in effective interaction with schoolchildren,
maximizing the sense of achievement and minimizing the feeling of emotional
exhaustion and depersonalization
