Problems of psychological readiness of students of higher educational institutions in the system of the Ministry of internal affairs during shooting with firearms

Abstract

Formation of skills of firing a pistol at the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel occurs in the course of training at the school. The existing method of fire training in educational institutions does not take into account the state of high psychological stress of cadets of educational establishments in the Ministry of Internal Affairs system while performing high-speed firing exercises. The use of short-term intense physical activity in the process of firing cadets helps to reduce their psychological stress on the firing line, as well as forming the willingness of future law enforcement officers to fire a gun. The current environment in which many professions work, including police officers, motorists, train drivers, nuclear power plant operators and some others, can be fully described as special and sometimes extreme. An analysis of the problems that arise in the work of these professions leads to the conclusion that they are often psychologically unprepared to work in difficult conditions, so there are "weapons" that can lead to tragic consequences. Psychological preparation for special and extreme activities is a purposeful impact on the individual through psychological and psychophysiological methods aimed at forming her psychological readiness for adequate action in such situations. Psychological readiness, in turn, means a system of indicators of the subject, which ensure the success and effectiveness of certain processes and activities. The use of modern scientifically sound methods and techniques of psychological training is an important factor that contributes to increasing the level of psychological readiness to work in these conditions.Therefore, if we consider psychological readiness exclusively from a psychological point of view, it will be about giving a person the opportunity to acquire important knowledge, train skills and form the necessary habits based on them.
