Khyzhniak A. Psychological correction of professional deformations of coach-teachers

The dissertation is devoted to studying the topical issue of the manifestation of professional deformation of the communicative component in the professional activity of experts in sports and pedagogical sphere. For the first time the problem of professional deformation in sports and pedagogical sphere has been considered; the professional deformation of personalities of coach-teachers of physical education in the communicative sphere has been analyzed. The "perfect coach-teacher" model has been developed. The new kinds of professional deformations in the behavioral sphere of personalities of coach-teachers have been formulated. The model of the interpersonal "the perfect coach-teacher" image has been formed through the principle of a reflected subjectivity. It is noted that deviation of real behavioral indicators from the model of this image is a manifestation of communicative deformations. From the interpersonal behavior perspective, four professional deformations have been substantiated: "lack of leadership and dominance", "increased aggressiveness", "increased subordination and dependence" and "lack of cooperation and emotional support". The diagnostic toolkit for studying the professional deformations of personalities of coach-teachers has been deepened and expanded. There are four groups of coach-teachers, each of them being characterized by the presence of a specific communicative professional deformation. Appropriate training sessions aimed at correcting specific deformations have been conducted in each group. The recurrent study of the communicative sphere in the professional activity of coach-teachers verified a decrease in the level of manifestation of communicative professional deformations. A detailed view of the sphere of manifestation of professional deformations of the personality of trainers-teachers (the sphere of individual and psychological qualities of personal, communicative sphere). Further scientific developments regarding the peculiarities of the formation and manifestations of professional deformations of the personality of the trainers-teachers, as well as the necessity of promoting preventive work aimed at preventing the development of professional deformations of the person, have been acquired. The program of social-psychological training to optimize the professional self-protection of coach-teachers has been developed and tested. The effectiveness of the program is confirmed by the positive dynamics of reducing the level of communicative professional deformations of coach-teachers. The conducted research does not exhaust all aspects of the considered problem. The future is the further study of the communicative professional deformation of athletes of various sports, qualifications, age and gender, which will improve the effectiveness of their training, will lead to a qualitatively new level of feedback in the communicative system "trainer-athlete", and will allow to expand knowledge about the specifics of professional activity of athletes-professionals and destructive features in it.
