Prokhorov A.O., Chernov A.V., Yusupov M.G. INFLUENCE OF REFLEXION ON THE OPERATIONAL METHODS OF STUDENTS’ MENTAL STATES SELF-REGULATION. Pedagogical Review. 2022. Issue 5 (45). P. 190-201

The article presents the study results of various types of reflection influence on the mental states of students in the course of educational activities. The authors show that modern research in this area is fragmentary and does not reveal the integral mechanism of mental regulation of human psychological states. Within the framework of the problem, highlighted the role of reflection as the most important determinant in the regulation of states, as a mediating link in the choice of optimal methods and techniques for regulation of mental states. In the course of the study, we used various methods of reflection, mental states and regulatory abilities study. The study conducted in groups of 4th year students of psychologists and mathematicians, and the entire population of subjects divided into three groups according to the level of reflexivity into low-, medium- and high reflexive students. Found that the influence of reflection on the operational methods of self-regulation is higher in more intense forms of learning activity. Revealed the leading types of reflection in connection with the methods of mental states’ self-regulation at lectures, seminars and exams. The results of the research will reveal the importance of reflection in the integral regulatory process of the subject’s life.

This article presents the results of a study examining the involvement of mental structures (reflective, semantic, and self-attitude) in the regulation of students' negative psychological states during learning activities. The paper analyzes contemporary Russian and international approaches to the problem of selfregulation of human states. This study is based on the structural and functional model of mental regulation of a subject's psychological states developed by the authors. Demonstrated that the most important condition for effective self-regulation is a person's awareness of the need to change their own state, as inadequate to an event or situation, which actualizes the structures of consciousness and regulatory processes of the personality. The study conducted on a sample of 99 students in three learning activities with different levels of stress: lecture, seminar, and exam. Psychological states and methods of self-regulation assessed at the beginning, middle, and at the end of each lesson. Separately examined the severity of mental structures. Statistical data processing performed using frequency and multiple regression analysis. The research revealed specific patterns in the involvement of mental structures in the regulatory process depending on the forms and stages of students' learning activities. Discovered that semantic structures are primarily involved in selfregulation of states at the end of an exam, while reflective structures are involved at the beginning of lectures and seminars, as well as mid-exam. Found that for all forms of student learning, mental regulation of negative states is most active mid-class. Established that the indicators of “locus of control” and “self-direction” make the greatest contribution to the mental regulation of states in students' learning activities. The obtained results have practical significance, since knowledge of the mental mechanisms regulating a subject's psychological states will enable the development of new methods for self-regulation of states in human life, which will contribute to their psychological health and resilience.
