From the author: Research continues... It is well known that one of the most important pedagogical tasks of any educational institution is working with first-year students, aimed at their faster and more successful adaptation to the new education system, to a new system of social relations, for them to master the new role of students. The task of the college in this difficult period for a young man is to help him adapt to new learning conditions as quickly and successfully as possible and join the ranks of the student body. The problem of adaptation is relevant for all levels of education. Despite the existing differences in the target, content and procedural components, at each educational level, the adaptation process is characterized by the presence of both specific and general ones. The need for adaptation in a person arises when he begins to interact with any system under conditions of a certain mismatch with it, which creates the need for change. These changes may be related to the person himself or the system with which he interacts, as well as to the nature of the interaction between them. That is, the trigger for a person’s adaptation process is a change in his environment, in which his usual behavior turns out to be ineffective or even ineffective, which creates the need to overcome difficulties associated precisely with the novelty of conditions. Every teacher of an educational institution knows from his own experience that working with first-year students and pedagogical communication with first-year students has its own distinctive characteristics. This is due to both the psychophysiological characteristics of age and social factors. In our college, we conducted a study aimed at identifying the level of adaptation among first-year students; the role of the class teacher in the adaptation process is also important. The questions were compiled by 1st year students. They were divided into blocks. BLOCK I - attitude towards college.
