The concept of «self-poisoning program» in the categories of the «U- sin pentagram» method: pedagogical aspect

at the present stage in the upbringing of the younger generation, the formation of sobriety is relevant. But a teacher who does not have the appropriate knowledge will not be able to effectively contribute to the formation of a sober worldview. Therefore, it is relevant to study not only the methods and ways of forming and maintaining sobriety, but also the theoretical understanding of the mechanism for the emergence and functioning of dependence on intoxicants. The object of research in this article is the «self-poisoning program» with intoxicants. The purpose of the study is to develop a model of this object. The categorical-symbolic method «U-sin Pentagram» was applied. The patterns of the process of formation and functioning of the «self-poisoning program» were revealed: 1) cyclicality; 2) five states; 3) relationships of support and control. Conclusions: 1) the process of formation and functioning mechanism of the «self-poisoning program» proceeds and functions according to certain rules; 2) the «program of self-poisoning» can be strengthened and destroyed; 3) education is needed to initiate and activate the processes of destruction of the program; 4) it is possible to destroy the «program of self-poisoning» by psychological and pedagogical methods. Areas of application of the results: 1) theoretical studies of the system object «self-poisoning program»; 2) practical activities to manage the processes of formation of a «program of self-poisoning» in the field of education and upbringing.
