PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF CONFLICTS IN A STUDENT GROUP DURING THE LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of conflict and its interpretation. A historical analysis of the understanding of the nature of conflict is conducted, and aspects of various classifications of conflicts are highlighted. The stages in the history of conflict studies and the main directions of foreign conflict research are identified. The constituent structural components of conflict behavior are analyzed. The specifics of conflict behavior in a student group are clarified, and it is determined that conflicts mainly arise in response to obstacles to achieving primary, i.e., core goals of educational activity, obstacles to achieving secondary, personal goals of joint educational activity, behavior that does not comply with accepted norms of relationships, behavior of people in joint educational activities that does not meet their expectations, and personal conflicts arising from the personal characteristics of participants in the student team. Theoretical aspects of the study of conflicts in a student group are highlighted.The results of a study on the psychological characteristics of conflicts in a student group during joint learning activities are presented.It was found that the majority of students showed a high level of readiness for conflict management, which means that the subjects possess a wide range of skills, knowledge, and approaches that help them effectively recognize, resolve, and preventively manage conflicts, the ability to find effective solutions and develop conflict prevention strategies, which are important for achieving harmonious relationships and preventing conflict situations. Students clearly demonstrate such conflict behavior strategies as collaboration and compromise. These two strategies are constructive approaches, as they are aimed at jointly solving problems and finding mutually acceptable solutions. They allow students to strive for understanding, cooperation, and building positive relationships with others.In addition, these strategies contribute to the development of communication skills, emotional intelligence, and tolerance, which are important in the educational environment and future career. The importance of studying conflicts in a student group has been confirmed.
