Mentoring as a Neuro-Pedagogical Tool of Motivation for Health Culture Formation Among the Students During Periods of War and Global Challenges

Abstract

The article is devoted to the current trends in the neuropedagogical field, in particular, the healthcare culture formation among students and the role of educational mentoring as an effective tool to motivate students to achieve this task. Mentoring is defined as a neuro-pedagogical category because it satisfies the natural needs of the student’s brain for learning and cognition, based on experience, establishing patterns and creating an emotionally favourable and practically oriented learning environment. In the context of the globalised world and current challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, distance learning, and war, the issue of developing a culture of student health is becoming increasingly important and needs to be considered not only as a medical but also as a psychological and educational problem. The motivation of students to a healthy lifestyle plays an important role in this process, as it contributes to the self-regulation of their behaviour and the formation of a positive attitude towards their own well-being. A pedagogical model of motivation for the formation of a health culture, including tasks, competencies, and motivational techniques, is developed. The possibilities of applying the model with the help of AI are indicated. The study confirms the effectiveness of the model through a pedagogical experiment, the results of which show that after its completion, even the least motivated students show greater interest in health. The article outlines prospects for further research aimed at deepening motivational practices among young people.
