This article substantiates the concept of the curriculum for extracurricular education and learning from the perspective of competencies. In this sense, the curriculum is structured on domains and profiles of extracurricular education and learning, ensuring the conceptual continuity between the curriculum for general education and the curriculum for extra¬curricular education and learning. At the same time, a taxonomy of competencies is proposed: key competencies for life¬long learning; general competencies in the fields of extracurricular education and specific competencies in the profiles of extracurricular education and learning.

Competency-based teacher professionalisation generates the formation of independent learners during the initial teacher training programmes. Pedagogical research reveals the importance of university teachers’ awareness of the need to design activities oriented towards the development of autonomous learning skills and promotion of a self-directed learning culture in students. Converting the university pedagogical conditions into resources that facilitate students’ in¬dependent learning is an important indicator of the quality of university education.

The author conducts a multi-aspectual analysis of non-formal education, highlighting its role in opposition to formal education.

Motivation is crucial to education; it is a main factor that can drive humans to autonomous and independent learning. It is a complex system and it is individually organised making difficult to offer precise recommendation. A sound under¬standing of physiological and psychological processes that triggers human behaviours is vital to a good educational design that will flow naturally according to students’ development. The article aims to do an analysis of recent and fundamental theories on motivation and learning in order to propose to educational professionals some key elements that will strengthen learning motivation and will facilitate teaching and teaching programmes designing. The ground of the article is the fact proven by a great number of studies that show great correlation between students' motivation and positive learning effects. This theoretical article addresses an important question regarding the understanding of motivation: what drives our mo¬ti¬vational system and what interferes/compete with the motivation to learn new things, to explore and adapt to novelty (novel problem, task, event, situation, context, etc.)

Researchers in the field mention that the quality of early relationships leaves a mark on the relational style at a later age. If these relationships were not problematic in early childhood, especially with parents, and siblings, in adolescence they can provide a chance to love, feel and reflect, having the freedom that results from a secure attachment. This study presents the results of a training experiment adapted by us, which envisaged the effectiveness of the psychological intervention programme based on the model of integrative psychotherapy. The training experiment involved 18 adolescents aged 16-19 years: 9 adolescents participated in the experimental group (EG) and 9 were enrolled in the control group (CG). The results obtained following the integrative psychotherapy sessions showed that the ado¬lescents in EG improved their results both in terms of self-esteem, relationship with others and effective communication. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the role that attachment plays in forming relationships with others.

This study aimed to identify and analyse the situations with potential psychosocial risks specific to the activity of promotion and sale of drugs – a field of activity characterised by focus on profit, fierce competition, and big goals, which creates an environment of continuous stress for employees. The analysis of interview data outlined a series of situations with potential psychosocial risk related to the activity of employees from the pharmaceutical company, especially related to barriers in communication, lack of experience of novice medical representatives and the most difficult situation: refusal from the start by the key client – the doctor. The strategies reported by the interviewees show that interpersonal influence skills are developed “on the go”, and several techniques for obtaining the willingness (e.g., labelling technique, “foot-in-the-door” technique, etc.) have to be applied. Accordingly, there is a need for psychosocial intervention programmes that would aim at developing skills to manage the problematic situations that medical representatives face in their pro¬fessional activity.

The article presents a description of psychodrama  a method of group psychotherapy based on action, combining the possibilities for both deep psychotherapy and for training social skills. The author tried to set out some considerations on the manner in which this method suggests finding answers to the questions “How to survive?”, “How to preserve the legacy of the past and at the same time open new paths for the future?”, “What to do and how to react in the context of (social) change?” with the support of this toolkit (key concepts, basic elements, techniques and phases).

The article investigates the problem of the formation of the pedagogical position of the future specialist in the field of education. We carry out an analysis of scientific psychological and pedagogical literature devoted to the issue of the study. The concepts of “position”, “personal position”, “professional position” are considered, their essence is highlighted. The working concept of “professional position of the future teacher” has been developed, its characteristic features have been outlined. The procedure of systemic modelling is characterised, a working model is developed, structural components that reflect the essential features of a professional position are highlighted. On the basis of systemic and structural mo¬del¬ling, we made calculations of the integral indicator - the level of formation of the pedagogical position of future teachers. We found there was an insufficient level of formation of the pedagogical position of future specialists. It is assumed that the optimisation of the professional position of future teachers can be achieved as a result of the introduction of motivational technology. A programme has been developed to optimise the formation of the pedagogical position of future teachers. We describe the stages of the programme implementation, their goals, the content, and the forms of work.
