Annotation: Main problem: the issue of self-actualisation of schoolchildren is one of the most urgent problems of pedagogical science, aimed at investigating and comprehending the contradictory processes of development, training and education of schoolchildren’s personality in modern socio-cultural conditions. Thus, one of the tasks of the secondary school and the teacher is to create optimal conditions for the development of adolescents’ personality abilities for self-realisation. Purpose: is to reveal the optimal pedagogical conditions that promote the process of development of teenagers’ personality abilities to self-realization. Methods: the task of the research cintains the study and experimental verification of a certain set of conditions which contribute to the self-realisation of students in the process of fine arts lessons at a comprehensive school. Results and their significance: organizational forms of conducting classes for the formation of abilities to creative self-actualisation are defined. It is shown that the most important pedagogical conditions for the self-realization of the teenagers’ personality are the combination of individual and collective organization of learning at the fine arts lessons and the wide use of the problem-based method of teaching.

Annotation: Discovering the intellectual and professional abilities of special children, first of all, depends on the language environment created by teachers. In this regard, the task is to create an effective pedagogical paradigm of thinking and activity (concepts, categories, concepts), ensuring its constant updating. Purpose of the research is revealing the intellectual and professional abilities of special children. The main research methods are ascending from the abstract to the concrete, descending from the concrete to the abstract, from the concrete to the abstract and again to the concrete, from the abstract to the concrete and again to the abstract and method of working with text. Between 80 and 85 % of incoming information is perceived by the human visual organs, and our brain performs several functions. The main function is speculation, i.e. in understanding the essence, knowledge embedded in information. For example, a person can observe a rainbow, without understanding or knowing its nature. Only speculatively can he cognize the essence, i.e. a certain law, a scheme for the origin of this unusual phenomenon. Thus, knowledge is a product of a person’s own thinking, extracted from information.

Annotation: The article highlights the problem of coping behavior of students in stressful situations of the educational process. Purpose of the article - determination of the dominant productive and non-productive strategies of coping behavior among undergraduate students. While doing research the following methods were used: Coping with Stress Questionnaire (COPE) by K. Carver, M. Scheier and J. Weintraub, adapted by E.I. Rasskazova, T.O. Gordeeva and E.N. Aspen. Fourth-year students show significant variability in the choice of methods of coping behavior. This means they have a wider range of coping strategies. At the same time, first-year students do not have a diverse enough range of coping strategies. This may be due to their less experience and unfamiliarity with various coping techniques. Significant differences were found in the activity of using the effective strategy “Finding a solution to a problem” among students at different stages of training. This suggests that fourth-year students are more prone to problem-oriented coping, while first-year students prefer emotionally oriented coping with exam stress. As a result of the study, it was determined that the most common methods of coping behavior among students are the strategies “Accepting responsibility” and “Planning a solution to the problem.” This means that most students prefer active and mindful approaches to coping with difficulties. It has been proven that the relationship between methods of coping behavior and anxiety of students is different in all courses of study. This may be due to varying levels of experience, degree of curriculum difficulty, and other factors that influence perception and coping with stressful situations. These results highlight the importance of developing a variety of coping strategies in first-year students, as well as the need to support and train fourth-year students in using effective coping strategies.
