Formation And Statistical Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of A Health Competency Development Program For Higher Education Teachers

Abstract

The article is devoted to an experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of a program for developing health competencies among higher education teachers. The relevance of the study is driven by the need to enhance teachers’ professional resilience under conditions of high psycho-emotional workload, which directly affects the quality of the educational process. Aim. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of the developed program on the level of formation of cognitive, instrumental-practical, adaptive-resource, and personal components of health competencies, as well as on indicators of professional burnout. Methods. The study employed a pedagogical experiment, psychodiagnostic methods (including a standardized questionnaire to assess professional burnout), and methods of mathematical statistics (descriptive statistics, principal component analysis, correlation analysis). Results. The results demonstrated positive dynamics across all components of health competencies: an increase in the proportion of teachers with a high level of competencies was recorded (from 12% to 37% for the cognitive component, and from 10% to 55% for the instrumental-practical component), along with a significant reduction in the proportion with a low level. A decrease in emotional exhaustion indicators and an improvement in adaptive resources were also observed. A statistically significant negative relationship between the level of emotional intelligence and the severity of burnout was established. Conclusion. It is concluded that the developed program is an effective tool for strengthening health and enhancing teachers’ professional resilience. The program can be recommended for widespread use in the system of professional development and corporate training in universities.
