Abstract:
Emotional health issues have been considered by psychologists relatively recently. The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed a large number of students to turn to online learning, which has led to poor emotional communication between participants in educational relationships.
The problem of the study is that it was a special type of stress, which is characterized by special signs that determine the emotional state of health of participants in educational relationships in the virtual space.
The research methodology was based on the theoretical postulates of the global digitalization of education. According to them, there are both positive and negative aspects to the modern education system. The idea that on the one hand the digitalization of education is a technical and technological aspect of the development of civilization, and on the other hand the phenomenon has a dehumanizing effect and subordinates a person to standards was the basis of the study.
Therefore, it is necessary to implement a medical-pedagogical approach to study different aspects of the health of participants in educational relations.
The results are found:
1. The COVID-19 pandemic has become a mechanism that, as a result of the preventive measures and restrictions imposed, has led to the need for teachers and students to restructure urgently the presentation of educational information only through information technologies and digital educational resources.
2. The lack of participants’ readiness of the educational process for full-fledged communication in the digital educational environment is revealed.
3. 24.7 % of respondents are not used to online learning even after a year, so they are under stress. This indicates the reason for the deterioration of the student's emotional health. Keywords:
Emotional health, students, COVID-19, levels of emotional health.
