Educational Activity as a Resource for Preserving and Strengthening the Psychological Well-being of Primary School Children

The task of preserving and strengthening the psychological well-being of schoolchildren has become relevant due to its formulation in the main normative documents regulating the content and organization of education. The structure of psychological well-being is considered from the point of view of developing the abilities of primary school children to personal growth, the ability to set goals, the ability to empathy, cooperation, autonomy, self-acceptance and effective management of life circumstances. The risks of psychological well-being due to being in unfavorable life circumstances, as well as the negative consequences of uncontrolled digitalization of the child’s living environment are presented. The advantages of a system-activity approach to the organization of educational work are substantiated. Education, designed and implemented as an activity, can become the main resource for the psychological well-being of students. Teacher training for educational activities at the stage of study at the university should be based on the scientific foundations of psychology and pedagogy and take into account current trends in the social and personal development of school children.
