Psychological and Pedagogical Support for Forcibly Displaced Persons in Refugee Centers

Abstract

The article theoretically substantiates the task, content and features of psychological and pedagogical support for forcibly displaced persons in the conditions of refugee centers. The main tasks include: systematic support in the personal and creative self-realization of forcibly displaced; optimizing people’s relations in the micro-, meso- and macro-environment; increasing adaptation potential of refugees. The research methodology is based on systemic, complex, person-oriented, gender and activity approaches. The psychological-pedagogical approach is summarized as a systematic activity of psychologists and teachers aimed at creating a complex of psychological-consultative, educational conditions that contribute to personal development, stabilization of emotional states for the purpose of successful adaptation and self-realization of the personality of a refugee. The content of this support is determined by three components: diagnostics as the basis for setting goals and directions of activity; selection and application of methodological means of psychological and educational support (direct implementation of support plan and program); analysis of intermediate and final results to adjust the course of the specialist’s interaction with refugees. It was found that the result of the support for forcibly displaced should be the state of their psychological inclusion in the activity accompanied by the realization of intra-personal resources in specific social conditions.
