PROGNOSTIC PARAMETERS AND RISKS OF STUDY OVERLOAD IN ADOLESCENT STUDENTS. Education & Pedagogy Journal. 2021;2(2):76-87. DOI:

The paper presents the results of an empirical study on study overload in adolescent students. The theoretical and methodological grounding of the study is given. The objective relevance of the problem of study overload for the modern system of general education is shown. The nature and manifestations of study overload in the educational process were studied through cause-effect relations. Psychodiagnostic data was subjected to mathematical and statistical processing (correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis), classified, summarized, and interpreted. The results obtained in the empirical study allowed us to understand the prognosis and risks of study overload formation on psychological well-being in adolescence. The conclusion is given that study overload is caused not at the expense of the students’ main study load but as a result of attending additional types of educational classes. The results obtained concluded that one in five adolescent students have a significant, often maximum, pronounced excess of study load. Moreover, one in four students experience the presence of moderate study overload. To prevent study overload, we state that one should focus not only on the normative regulation of certain types of educational activities but also on the students’ subjective state. Recommendations of possible directions of preventive work with students on psychological prevention of study overload are outlined.

The digital educational environment as a factor in changing the student’s personality. Education & Pedagogy Journal. 2024;1(9):23-35. DOI:

In the digitalization of the modern educational system, psychological development and changes in the students’ personalities occur. Issues related to the digitalization of Russian education are actively discussed in the modern psychological and pedagogical community. The digital environment is a factor influencing the students’ personality development process. Thanks to global digitalization, many new opportunities are being introduced into the modern educational process, but the consequences also raise serious social and psychological issues. Parallel to the general digitalization in the digital society, a child’s personality, immersed in the digital space almost from the first moment of his birth and experiences a digital childhood, is formed. The digitalization of education, the use of the latest digital educational technologies, and the students’ stay in a virtual environment significantly impact the students’ psychological development, leading to changes in their behavior and the formation of a specific digital personality. The article presents the results of an empirical study investigating how teachers perceive modern students’ personalities and behavioral characteristics of contemporary students in the digital space. It shows that modern students have psychological characteristics and traits that are characteristic of representatives of the digital generation.
