Abstract

The article deals with the problem of studying the process of development of professional reflection of students of the faculties of “Health and Physical rehabilitation” of higher educational institutions. There were proposed objective conditions that determined the professional development of students in general and the formation of professional reflection in particular. It was shown that these conditions were related to a real system of professional training of students in higher system of education. Among them there are the main ones: professional orientation of training; the content of the educational process in a higher educational institution; unity and interrelation of theoretical and practical aspects of training. Also there were singled out the subjective conditions that influenced the development of professional reflection of future specialists in the sphere of physical rehabilitation: professional orientation of the person; intellectual abilities; students’ activity in the professional development and mastery of professional reflection. There were described empirical results of the study of professional reflection of students of the faculties of “Health and Physical rehabilitation” organized in higher educational institutions. These results allowed us to distinguish some dominant contradictions, the main of which there are such as: between the lack of knowledge of students of the 1st-4th-year studying about the complexity of the profession of a specialist in a sphere of physical rehabilitation and the requirement of awareness and independence of their own choice; between professional plans of students, on the one hand, and means of achieving them – on the other one. So, the students’ plans are focused on the end result, not on the ways to achieve them. This was manifested in the lack of awareness or inadequate assessment by students of their capabilities, in the inability to take into account their individual characteristics in relation to the profession of a specialist in a sphere of physical rehabilitation. According to students reflection is a specific quality of knowledge of students when the subject of perception reconstructs in his/her own consciousness the qualities, characteristics of the person whom he/she perceives as a partner in a process of communication. That is why the development of professional reflection of students can be effective in the process of dialogue and dialogical interaction. Telling about the development of professional reflection of students we’ll consider dialogue and dialogical interaction as the main way, noting on the fact that this form of communication is productive one only when it involves reflection, in such a way when it is possible to identify the conditions for the person to go into the positions “above” or “outside”. Also we’ll distinguish between two relatively independent and simultaneously interconnected parties: a) reflection in a dialogue, which implies awareness of how the participants in the dialogical interaction interpret the situation of communication for themselves; b) dialogue in the process of reflection of own professional activities, aimed at developing techniques of communication.
