Abstract
The article presents a sociological data analysis carried out to assess the adaptive potential of the teacher community and to search for the factors influencing this indicator. In the framework of theoretical generalizations, based on the author's understanding of the nature of adaptive potential, the paper presents a methodology for assessing the integral index of adaptive potential as a combination of intangible resources involved by the teachers in the process of adapting to new challenges of educational environment. The composition of adaptation resources was determined, which were combined into five blocks – educational capital, professional capital, social capital, cultural capital and information capital. As part of the experimental stage of the study, we used the data of a targeted survey of teachers in the territory of the Vologda Oblast, which was conducted in May-June 2020 by the Vologda Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in an online questionnaire format.
In accordance with the proposed methodology, the integral index of the teachers’ adaptive potential in the region was calculated. Clustering of the calculated data shows that the average adaptive potential prevails in the teacher community. A cluster analysis of the data of sociological measurements has made it possible to identify the factors affecting the adaptive capabilities of various groups of the teacher community, i.e.
social moods, satisfaction in communicating with educational agents, the ability to combine work and family functions, the level of difficulty at school, etc. The novelty of the study, which is per se a modernization of E. M. Avraamova approach, is the use of the proposed methodology to assess the adaptive potential of teachers. The research results can be applied in the practice of general education management in the Russian regions
