Conceptual ideas, approaches, principles of forming psychologically comfortable environment in rural school

The problem of the educational environment as a fundamental unit of the educational system has always worried scientists, teachers and practitioners. Currently, this phenomenon is considered as pedagogical reality that allows developing subjectivity, creative abilities of students and their self-realization. For rural schools, the problem of creating such psychologically comfortable and at the same time safe educational environment in science has not been solved until now. The relevance of this scientific task reinforces the need to understand the changes taking place in rural schools caused by the pandemic and the forced transition to mixed education. Objective: to determine the methodological basis in the form of reference concepts for the formation of psychologically comfortable educational environment in rural school. Objectives of the study: a) formulation of the main ideas that lead to the identification of methodological approaches necessary for the formation of a psychologically comfortable educational environment; b) concretization of the essence of the selected approaches through the construction of principles as general guidelines for the implementation of appropriate pedagogical activities in order to solve the identified problem. Methods: remote brainstorming, analysis of the results of scientific research on similar issues; theoretical modeling. Result: The result is the formulated 4 ideas-concepts, revealed in more detail through 6 methodological approaches and 18 principles, which can serve as leading guidelines for the implementation of the process of forming psychologically comfortable educational environment in rural school.
