Abstract

This paper is devoted to the problem of stress resistance of pedagogues, while it is considered as one of the key personality traits ensuring the readiness of educators for educational activities. Teachers in their daily activities on an ongoing basis are faced with stress and stressful situations, and the successful opposition to them is one of the key factors in the success of their educational activities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze foreign and domestic literature on the research problem and an empirical experiment aimed at identifying the level of stress resistance and components of readiness for educational activities of students of a pedagogical university. The study was based on the Professional Pedagogical Institute of the South Ural Humanitarian Pedagogical University. The study involved 182 students in areas of undergraduate training among 120 girls and 62 boys. Such significant gender differences in the sample can be explained by the popularity of the pedagogical direction among girls and the decline in interest from young men. Analyzing the obtained diagnostic data, the authors came to the conclusion that stress resistance as a key factor ensuring the readiness of future teachers for educational activities are not fully formed. Therefore, the work which is planned to prepare future teachers for educational activities is relevant and necessary.
