Berezina, T. N. Concerning Emotional Safety of Educational Environment

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of emotional safety of educational environment. Educational environment is viewed as a holistic, dynamic system enabling translation of socio-cultural experience from generation to another. Emotional safety is viewed as a part of psychological safety of educational environment. The purpose of psychological safety is to protect physical and mental health of all participants of the educational process. Emotional stability of educational environment is viewed as certain conditions under which the quality and quantity of positive emotions are increased and negative emotions are minimized. Based on that provision, the author outlines the two elements of emotional safety: negative emotions and positive emotions. As a source of negative emotions, the author describes the following situations of educational environment: frustration from failures and personal relations, academic anxiety and anxiety before exams, fears and difficulties in communication. As a source of original positive emotions, the author describes achievements, success in studying, sport and other activities, creative work, positive interpersonal relations. It has been affirmed that some emotions can be considered ‘original’ because they influence the physiology. At the same time, original negative emotions create the danger of psychosomatic disorders while original positive emotions decrease danger for one’s physical and mental health in the future. The author of the article describes how emotional safety of educational environment can be studied further.
