Abstract

This article shows the specific nature of resistance as a multi-level negative phenomenon in the educational space of modern Ukrainian universities. The most important factors of resistance manifestation as a reaction to the informational and psychoemotional overload of the university lecturers and the marker of their professional burnout. The nature and mechanism of experiencing resistance by modern Ukrainian university students have been empirically specified. The results of the anonymous poll revealed tracing the range of situations in the educational process, which cause and intensify students’ resistance, showing the concomitant negative emotions. The influence of digitalization in education on the effectiveness of the student’s individual educational trajectory completion is also shown in this study. The paper has opened further prospects for studying the problematic situations, which cause resistance in the Ukrainian university-level lecturers and prevent them from building zero-barrier communication with the students in a blended environment.
