METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING THE SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

This article scientifically analyzes the theoretical, methodological, and practical foundations of diagnosing the socio-psychological environment in the classroom. The classroom community is considered an important pedagogical and psychological space that shapes students’ socialization, emotional stability, communicative activity, learning motivation, and interpersonal relationships. The article extensively examines aspects of the classroom environment related to students’ psychological state, the culture of mutual cooperation, leadership relations, the level of trust within the group, conflicts, and psychological safety. Based on the views of foreign and national scholars, the study substantiates that evaluating the classroom environment requires a comprehensive analysis not only of external relationships, but also of students’ internal psychological condition, their social status within the group, and their attitude toward the educational process.
