RESULTS OF PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT ON EMOTIONAL BURNOUT PREVENTION IN STUDENTS OF ENGINEERING SPECIALTIES
In the process of studying at a university, under the influence of large mental, physical, and psychic loads, students experience emotional exhaustion, a decrease in interest in studying, as well as a deterioration in their health. Statistics show that approximately 50% of university students are exposed to emotional burnout. Students of engineering specialties are no exception, large mental loads, design work performance that requires intellectual and mental tension lead to emotional burnout, reduced interest in study, depression, and deterioration of general health. This problem has required resolution. To prevent emotional burnout in students of engineering specialties, the means of artpedagogy were used: music, choreography, and dance. The most popular and interesting for students was the Art Nouveau dance as, according to many researchers, the most effective, modern and interesting direction of modern choreography. To assess the effectiveness of experimental work on the prevention of emotional burnout, the criteria presented by physical, emotional, intellectual and social indicators were determined in students in engineering specialties. The results obtained at the beginning of the pedagogical experiment showed that students had initial signs of emotional burnout according to the indicators studied. The students were subdivided into control and experimental groups. The pedagogical experiment took place during the school year, including vacation time: the frequency of classes - 3 times a week. At the end of the pedagogical experiment, a repeated study of the emotional state of the students according to the selected criteria was carried out. The indicators of students from the experimental group improved significantly in all the indicators studied: physical performance and social activity increased, there was a desire to study, interest in educational activities increased. The results of the pedagogical experiment proved the need for targeted work with students of engineering specialties in the prevention of emotional burnout. The most effective tool for this prevention is the inclusion of students in creative activities with a pronounced emotional orientation, to which Art Nouveau dance belongs.
