DEVELOPMENT OF EMPATHY AS THE FOUNDATION AND GUARANTEE OF A PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY CLIMATE AND A HIGH CULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM
Abstract
The relevance of the research is dictated by the acute deficit of empathy in the world community against the background of sharply increasing extremism, social intolerance and aggression, interethnic hostility, armed clashes, and anti-social phenomena that have a mass detrimental effect on the consciousness of the younger generation. In this article empathy is considered as an important prosocial communicative skill and a key component of pedagogical competence in order to introduce empathy as a discipline in all levels of the educational program and to ensure its improvement throughout the educational process. Over the past thirty years, empathy education research has been analyzed and categorized. The existing difficulties and priority tasks in developing students' empathic abilities are highlighted. The novelty of the study is due to global transformations in the world community, which put forward new demands and requirements to the education system in general, and in particular to the modern teacher, putting in the forefront of the humanistic approach to education, the emphasis on the development of a full personality, including not only academic skills, but also emotional intelligence, empathy and spiritual and moral values and guidelines. The purpose of the study is to introduce practical methods for the development of empathic potential in students of language and pedagogical universities in the educational program as the basis and guarantee of mental and emotional health and high culture not only within the framework of education but the whole society as well.
