Sergey Kosaretsky, Vice-Rector for Research at MSUPE, participated in an off-site Meeting of the Trade Union Council for Continuous Professional Pedagogical Education, held in the format of an expert-analytical session.
The meeting took place within the framework of the All-Russian Scientific and Educational Forum "ECOSYSTEM OF CONTINUOUS PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION: MODELS, MECHANISMS, RESOURCES" in Tomsk from October 19–21.
Sergey Kosaretsky moderated one of the forum's platforms: "Professional Success and Well-being of the Teacher in the Present and Future" and also delivered a report titled "Psychological Well-being of Educators: Components, Risk and Protective Factors, Support Opportunities," presenting, in particular, the potential of MSUPE's developments in this field for use by regional education systems. He emphasized that all data are research-based, meaning they have an evidence base.
According to the MSUPE Vice-Rector, a personnel crisis is currently observed in the teaching profession worldwide, which must be overcome, as the well-being of the educator directly affects their relationships with students.
Among the signs of psychological distress in educators are:
- High levels of emotional exhaustion (burnout)
- Stress
- Depressive symptoms
- Low organizational commitment
- Low engagement
- High motivation to leave the profession
Sergey Kosaretsky specifically focused on the symptoms of burnout, methods for its prevention, and opportunities for supporting the psychological well-being of educators at a systemic level.
