Curators of the Department of Accounting and Audit — Senior Lecturer Aitkhojina A.E. and Senior Lecturer Mikhailina I.N. of the Department of Accounting and Audit — conducted a curator's hour "Health Psychology" The participants were second-year students of Б-УиА 24/1 and Б-Стат 24/1. Within the framework of the meeting, students were familiarized with current issues in mental health research and factors affecting psychological well-being: the period of social adaptation at the beginning of studies, examination situations, the need for personal self-determination in future professional environments, and others.
The effectiveness and productivity of this meeting depends on adherence to the following recommendations:
- when promoting a healthy lifestyle, it is important to focus not on transmitting one's own experience and knowledge, but specifically on fostering the relevant attitudes and perceptions;
- conditions must be created for students that ensure the opportunity to experience the emotional states arising in the course of various types of activities associated with the need to observe health-preservation rules;
- When conducting educational activities aimed at cultivating students' correct attitudes towards a particular aspect of their health, it is necessary to bear in mind that within the educational process the criterion of effectiveness of the teacher's work is not the students' acquisition of certain knowledge or their demonstration of a particular attitude towards a health issue, but a genuine change in student behaviour, which must be observed through the monitoring system implemented by the tutor of the academic group.
Students were presented with an instructional slide on the topic of the meeting. An active discussion was held, during which advisors answered students' questions.
