PHENOMENA OF A PROFESSIONAL IMAGE OF THE WORLD OF A PEDAGOG: STUDYING VIEWS OF THE BACHELORS’ MAJORING IN “PRESCHOOL EDUCATION” // Pedagogical Review. 2017. Issue 2 (16). P. 100-109

The article discusses the phenomena of a professional image of a pedagog’s world. Presented the content and the results of the research based on bachelor’s presentations majoring in “Preschool education”, about achievements and difficulties, meanings and values of the professional activity. Professional image of the world is a significant characteristic of the concept of the wholeness of the professional education which is a realization of the systematic approach in education. To study the formation of the understanding of the professional image of the pedagog’s world among the Bachelor degree students majoring in 44.03.01 Pedagogical education and specializing in “Preschool education” a study was held based at FGBOU VO “Altai state humanitarian-pedagogical university named after V. M. Shukshin” in Biysk in 2016. The study included full time students of the psychology-pedagogical department years 1 through 4 (n = 17) and among distant learners (n = 46). The total number of the students equaled 63 and 27% of them were full (day time students) and 73 % of them were distant learners. The conducted study allows to make a conclusion about the specific understanding of the professional image of the pedagog’s world among students who study at a pedagogical institute and specialize in “Preschool education”. It is possible to recognize the differences in defining accomplishments and difficulties among students with and without the professional experience. It was found, for example, that most students who work in preschool institutions connect their own professional accomplishments and difficulties to their time management. Those without the experience connect their personal accomplishments and difficulties to their exam preparations. They also have different understandings of the meaning and values of the pedagogical work: pre-school teachers, above all recognize the value of raising and nurturing preschoolers and students without the experience – the value of educating them. The main accomplishments in the professional practice are connected by the respondents with upbringing, educating and development of children. The study also showed that most of the Bachelors lack the understanding of the significance of their own development, education and improvement in their professional practice. According to the authors, focusing on selfimprovement and self-perfecting is the most important part of the professional image of the world both among future and currently practicing pedagogs. The found fact of undervaluing self-development and education by the students during their pedagogical practice allows to conclude that it is needed to have a goal to supervise and guide the process of the formation of the professional image of the world of the future pedagog.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TASK IN THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF A MODERN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION TEACHER // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 5 (27). P. 56-66

The question of professional tasks of a preschool education teacher is discussed. Pedagogical activity is a process of solving professional tasks of various types. The article describes the psychological task, as one of the types of professional tasks in educational activities. The specificity of the psychological task in a teacher’s practice is its uncertainty. The uncertainty of the task is related to an individual’s perception of a situation, his personal attitude towards that situation, the individual experience of solving such problematic situations and the presence of personal meanings regarding what is happening in the context of the general level of psychological maturity of a person. This implies the variability of solutions. The choice of pedagogical actions is connected to a number of conditions: the perception of the situation, attitude towards the situation, the emotions it causes, the experience of solving problematic situations and the preferred behavioral models and the desired outcome. The article describes the informative characteristics of the three solutions of the psychological problem. The following situation is psychologically competent: a wholesome perception of the situation, the attitude towards the situation as a meaningful one for others (a personally and socially significant situation), feelings are associated with internal experiences shared with feelings of others; decisions are aimed for benefitting all of the participants of the situation, the result is defined as useful and significant for other people, for society, along with their own achievements. The article provides an example of solving a psychological problem by a teacher in the form of a case in accordance with the third option. Appeal to the groups of universal and general professional competencies, indicated in modern FGOS VO, showed that each of the designated competencies contains not only psychological terminology, but also contains ideas of a variable approach towards their development. One of the options for the development of professional competencies, in our opinion, is the use of a task approach that includes a combination of different types of tasks. In the typification of professional tasks noted in the FGOS VO 3 ++, the psychological task is included in broad nominations of such types as accompaniment, cultural and educational, organizational and managerial, methodical.

INTERACTION BETWEEN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION TEACHER AND STUDENTS’ PARENTS AS IMPLEMENTATION OF MENTORING // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 6 (28). P. 104-110

The pedagogical activity of a preschool education teacher implies interaction with students’ parents in the process of educational activity. The article discusses systematic and methodological components of the interaction between the preschool education teacher and the students’ parents as the implementation of the teachers’ mentoring in relation to the parents. The methodological component of this approach is revealed through the concept of G.N. Prosumentova and the typological characteristics of joint activities: closed, reversed, open. The development of these ideas by S.I. Pozdeyeva in the description of the activity characteristics of different types of mentoring in the professional pedagogical sphere allowed to present the methodological component of the approach in the field of preschool education. When moving to a mentoring position, the teacher uses different models for organizing joint activities, providing psychological, pedagogical, methodological and advisory services more adaptably, which is defined by the objective of the federal project “Support for Families with Children”. Based on the models and types of mentoring proposed by S.I. Pozdeyeva, the article reveals the characteristics of the working actions of a preschool teacher, acting as a mentormethodologist, mentor-tutor, mentor-consultant, mentor-coach, mentor-developer, mentor-partner, mentor-navigator with respect to the students’ parents. In this case, the students’ parents appear as participants in all stages of joint educational activities.
