On 06.11.2026, within the framework of the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Scientific and Educational Space: Realities and Prospects for Improving the Quality of Education", a meeting of Section 2 "Psychological Sciences" was held at Comrat State University.
Section moderators Cucereanu Stela, Doctor of Psychology, University Lecturer, and Horozova Larisa, Doctor of Psychology, Associate Professor, addressed all participants with wishes for fruitful work, engaging presentations, substantive discussions, and positive emotions.
Participants of the sectional meeting — leading scholars, doctoral students, lecturers, and practitioners from Romania, Uzbekistan, Russia, and the Republic of Moldova (Comrat State University, Free International University of Moldova, "Ion Creangă" State Pedagogical University, Institute of Cultural Heritage, as well as representatives of educational institutions from the Gagauz region) — discussed a wide range of current issues at the intersection of psychology and education. The section focused on issues of psychological well-being of participants in the educational process, socialization of youth in a multi-ethnic society, transmission of traditional values, prevention of professional burnout among "human-to-human" professionals, countering school bullying, inclusive education technologies, and others.
In the presentation by Doctor of Psychology, Associate Professor Irina Caunenco (ULIM, Chisinau), an in-depth analysis based on empirical research was presented regarding how modern youth in a multi-ethnic society view their generation, what value orientations they define for themselves, and what social challenges they encounter. A substantive reflection on these aspects enabled conference participants to gain a fresh perspective on the potential of today's youth and the tasks of modern education in supporting their constructive activity.
The work of the section served as a platform for constructive dialogue, exchange of experience, and scientific ideas. Speakers Balmuș Diana, Bugaciu Diana, Plătică Adina, Ivanova Nina, Tarutina Liubov, and others noted that in a rapidly changing world, improving the quality of education is impossible without a profound understanding of the psychological mechanisms of learning, development, and personal socialization.
The sectional work gained particular value from uniting researchers, practitioners, and higher education faculty striving not merely to state existing realities, but to offer scientifically grounded perspectives and practical tools for solving pressing tasks.
The work of the section was recognized as substantive and productive. At the conclusion of its work, recommendations were formulated:
1. For schools and lyceums:
Implement a protocol for pedagogical response to bullying and develop dialogue with parents.
Integrate ethnographic materials (Casa Mare) into regional studies and educational subjects.
Apply visual correctional schemes when working with children with SEN.
2. For universities (pedagogical and psychological profiles):
Include mindfulness, self-regulation, and burnout prevention training in curricula.
Strengthen practical training of students in resolving interpersonal conflicts.
Develop criteria for assessing the dynamics of students' personal and professional development.
3. For the scientific community:
Continue research on youth values and the intergenerational transfer of experience in a multinational environment.
The report materials were recommended for publication. The presenters received certificates.
