Abstract

The study of the anti-terrorist consciousness development of young people as one of the options for solving the problem of countering their involvement in violent extremism is what has invoked the theme of the problem of would-be teachers’ readiness to form school-goers’ anti-terrorist consciousness. This is what has defined the objective of the study. The methods of achieving the objective were the analysis and generalization of some scientific literature, as well as the results of a students’ survey (“Pedagogical Education” training program). The analysis of scientific literature made it possible to identify and characterize the components of forming school-goers’ anti-terrorist consciousness including motivational, cognitive, and activity components. Due to the identified components, a questionnaire was developed as a tool for diagnosing would-be teachers’ readiness to solve the problem of forming school-goers’ anti-terrorist consciousness. The results of the study showed a high conviction of would-be teachers’ in the necessity and importance of this sphere of educational activity with school-goers because of the insufficient formation of the system of knowledge, skills, and abilities of its practical realization. It determines the necessity to improve their professional training. The novelty of the study lies in the identification and meaningful characteristics of various components of would-be teachers’ readiness for forming school-goers’ anti-terrorist consciousness.
