ПЕДАГОГИЧЕСКОЕ САМОРАЗВИТИЕ — САМОРАЗВИТИЕ ПЕДАГОГА: АНАЛИЗ АНАЛОГИЙ В ТЕРМИНОЛОГИИ

Abstract

The processes of modernization of educational programs of secondary vocational education have determined the relevance of the problem of pedagogical self-development of a college teacher. The study of this process involves a terminological analysis of its content. At the same time, in pedagogical theory and practice, there have been some discrepancies in the characterization of the concepts: “professional self-development of a teacher”, “self-development of a teacher”, “pedagogical self-development of a teacher”, etc. identical definitions and the possibility of their synonyms in the context of the research carried out by the author is substantiated. The conceptual and terminological analysis of Russian and foreign works on the stated problem made it possible to reveal a substantial similarity in the definition of the process under study. Professional self-development is characterized as a continuous process of qualitative transformation of the personality, the realization of personal and professional opportunities. An analysis of the concept of “self-development of a teacher” revealed a similar content essence. In the works of a number of researchers, the self-development of a teacher is considered through his multi-directionality in the spheres of life (professional, family, cultural and leisure, creative). In the vast majority of studies, this problem is considered as the improvement of the professional qualities of a teacher in his activity, which is appropriately interpreted as pedagogical. In this regard, the sphere of professional life of a college teacher has been clarified as a pedagogical one and, accordingly, the concept of “pedagogical self-development of a teacher” has been fixed. The analysis proved that in the context of the professional activities of teachers, the concepts of “pedagogical self-development of a teacher”, “professional self-development of a teacher”, “self-development of a teacher” belong to the same synonymous series.
