Types of adaptation readiness of students and university teachers

The article contains the results of an empirical study aimed at identifying the types of adaptation readiness of higher education subjects. Scientific knowledge about the types of adaptation readiness will improve the effectiveness of interactions in the educational environment of universities and improve the quality of higher education. The study involved 386 students (average age (21.6 ± 3.4) years, male 40 %) and 152 teachers (average age (51.2 ± 12.6) years, male 22.7 %) from universities in Saratov, Moscow, Samara, Volgograd, Penza, Stavropol, Yaroslavl and others. The method of diagnosing adaptive readiness by M.V. Grigoryeva was used, and cluster analysis was used as a statistical method. Based on the results of the analysis, 6 types of adaptive readiness of teachers and 4 types of adaptive readiness of students were interpreted and conclusions were formulated. 1. The types of adaptive readiness of teachers are distinguished more clearly compared to the group of students. Students have a greater variety of types of adaptive readiness and a more diffuse distinction between them. 2. Students have difficulties in developing adaptive readiness associated with a lack of understanding of the essence of changes, their states in new situations and a lack of understanding of the people around them.
