Supervision today is not only the fulfillment of the social role of a teacher and mentor, but also the socialization of students, identifying the difficulties of the adaptation period, assistance in solving educational, organizational, social and other issues by studying and analyzing data about students, determining the level of their education, abilities and personal characteristics.

On February 18 of this year, Nurgul Zharasbayeva, a teacher-psychologist of the University, held a seminar with teachers-curators of the Higher IT College of  D. Serikbayev EKTU on the topics: How a dynamic observation group is formed and “Algorithm for working with a crisis case”.

The dynamic observation group (DOG) is a systematic observation of students requiring additional pedagogical and psychological influence.

Based on the results of the study, a detailed socio-psychological characteristic is compiled for each student (trainee). Based on the data obtained and the conclusions of the teacher-curator, using additional documents characterizing the personality of the student (explanatory notes, acts of eyewitness observations, responses to requests from the places of the previous educational institution), dynamic observation groups (DOG) are formed.

Reasons for placing on dynamic observation:

• emotional instability;
• pronounced neuroticism (excitability, anxiety);
• high probability of nervous breakdowns;
• possession of an unbalanced character, increased conflict, anxiety, isolation;
• upbringing in a dysfunctional family;
• committing a suicidal attempt (before studying at this educational institution);
• the presence of suicidal heredity (close relatives);
• low level of adaptive abilities;
• low level of culture and general development;
• being registered with the district inspector

After the formation of the list of DOG, the pedagogues-psychologists draw up an individual plan of psycho-correctional and psycho-prophylactic measures for each student from the list.

The condition for removing a trainee from dynamic observation is a positive trend after the psycho prophylactic and psycho corrective measures taken, the absence of psycho neurological and psycho physiological deviations, suicidal risk factors, antisocial behavior, sufficient adaptability, and a good emotional mood.

Memo for teachers - curators

"Algorithm for working with a crisis case"

• Recognize emotional response
• Provide emergency first aid (if necessary)
• Provide psychological support
• Ask for help
• Create a secure supportive environment

The main tool in working with a teenager is a conversation with him.

Conversation rules:

• Talk in a calm environment.
• Look at the interlocutor, sitting opposite, but not across the table.
• Give the opportunity to speak, do not interrupt.
• Retell what the teenager said so that he is convinced that you really listened to him.
• To speak without judgment and condemnation, which contributes to the emergence of a teenager's confidence in the interlocutor.
• Speak only positive - constructive phrases.

Supporting support (for 1 year)

• Consulting a teenager with a psychologist (frequency of meetings 1-3 per week);
• Working with the family (within the framework of counseling, joint meetings of parents-teenagers are possible if necessary);
• Working with teachers (consulting, developing a joint action plan);
• Working with a group (if necessary, if they are involved in the situation or it is emotionally significant for them);
• Inclusion in normal life for a teenager;
• Organization of leisure activities in the interests of a teenager;
• The inclusion of a teenager in group / training work in order to strengthen personal resources (if the acute crisis period has passed).
