Вариативность как ведущий принцип конструирования индивидуальной траектории профессионального роста преподавателей колледжа

Abstract

The necessity of using a variational approach when designing an individual trajectory of professional growth for college teachers is substantiated, which involves taking into account the level and characteristics of their professional and personal development. The article presents the results of an empirical study, the purpose of which was to identify the types of individual trajectories of professional growth of college teachers. The study involved 214 teachers with a teaching experience of 3 to 38 years. The study was carried out using two specially selected reliable and valid methods: a diagnostic technique for the level of partial readiness for professional and pedagogical self-development (Fetiskin N.P., Kozlov V.V., Manuylov G.M.) and a methodology for studying professional motivation developed by K. Zamfir and modified A. Rean. The main research methods are comparative (calculation of the χ2 test and Student t-test) and correlation (calculation of the Spearman correlation coefficient) analyzes. As a result of the study, it was proved that the professional and personal development of college teachers is characterized by its diversity and variability, associated primarily with the motives of their professional activity and with the level of formation of their readiness for self-development and self-education. A typology of individual trajectories of the professional growth of college teachers has been developed, which determines its main directions and content and includes adaptive, activating, stimulating and correcting types of individual trajectories. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that it is necessary, possible and advisable to use the variability principle when designing individual trajectories for college teachers' professional growth, which allows us to achieve our goals in practice and thereby contribute to the realization of the idea of continuing pedagogical education of pedagogical workers of modern educational organizations of secondary vocational education.
