Resilience as a metacompetence of practicing and future educators

Abstract

The theme of resilience among future professionals can be considered one of the most relevant interdisciplinary paradigms of contemporary research. Increasingly, scholars and psychologists (K. Baling, O. Bratkova, V. Eshbi, D. Zubrovsky, S. Kuzikova, G. Lazos, S. Lyutar, S. Maksymenko, T. Titarenko, K. Chater, T. Fedotova, O. Shevchenko, and others) emphasize the search for and understanding of individuals’ internal reserves that would help minimize the destructive impact of stressors and, conversely, facilitate the achievement of positive adaptive changes in various life domains. Furthermore, adaptation to changing conditions and environmental factors becomes a mechanism for self-discovery of personality.
