Formation of professional sustainability of future teachers at the university

Pedagogical activity is increasingly associated with conflict and extreme situations. Professional stability of the future teacher determines its reliability and stability as a professional, the ability to perform professional tasks in an emotionally stressful and often critical environment, while remaining emotionally stable and avoiding professional deformations.The purpose of the article is a theoretical analysis of foreign and domestic literature on the problem of forming professional stability of future teachers and conducting an empirical study to identify the components of professional stability.Theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign psychological and pedagogical literature has led us to the following conclusions: 1) professional stability of a teacher determines his reliability and stability as a professional, maintaining professional stability of behavior in various pedagogical situations; 2) professional stability of future teachers is considered as a quality of personality that determines the ability to perform professional activities for a long time, actively, without emotional breakdowns, at a high level of productivity, including in difficult and extreme situations; 3) the components of professional stability were motivational, value and emotional components. The empirical study allowed us to draw the following conclusions: 1) the study of the motivational component revealed a pronounced material orientation of future teachers, despite the fact that the leading motives associated with teaching activities are formed at the average level; 2) autonomy (independence) and entrepreneurship were identified as the leading value orientations, value orientations related to pedagogical activity were identified in an average of 40% of future teachers; 3) indicators of emotional intelligence were formed in future teachers at an average level, they are only situationally able to reduce the intensity of undesirable emotions and manage the emotional state of other participants in the educational process.The conducted theoretical and empirical research led us to the conclusion that the formation of professional stability is an urgent problem for pedagogical universities and is a promising direction in preparing future teachers for professional activity.
