Abstract
The article considers the personal potential of teachers realized through their participation in competitions. The analysis of sources, diagnostic tools, formats and means of additional professional education presents professional competitions as a condition for realizing one’s personal potential. Its components are as follows: personal meanings, activity, reflexive abilities and pedagogical experience, values, motives, striving for the embodiment of creative ideas and intentions, openness to innovations. The teacher’s participation in competitions encourages activities, increases the level of innovative solutions to professional problems, manifests creative individuality and recognizes professional achievements. At the same time, the influence of competitions on the professional creativity of a teacher has not been sufficiently studied. The article aims at studying the competitive behavior of a teacher from the perspective of realizing their personal potential. The research utilized the methods of analyzing scientific sources, regulatory documents; diagnostic techniques to study the personal potential of a teacher; forms of developing the competitive behavior of teachers to participate in professional skills competitions; synthesis; logical generalization. In the course of the study, the authors obtained results that are notable for their novelty. They have presented the concept of “competitive behavior” of a teacher as an activity characterized by a complex system of motivation aimed at overcoming competitions and developing personal potential. The authors have characterized the motivational, emotional-volitional and personal levels of mental regulation of the teacher’s competitive behavior. They have also determined methods for studying personal potential and developing the teacher’s competitive behavior.
Highlights
The development of the teacher’s personal potential is among the crucial issues of education
We can put forward a research hypothesis that the clarification of the concept of the teacher’s “competitive behavior”, the determination of mental regulation levels, the selection of the relevant diagnostic tools and forms of developing competitive behavior will contribute to the realization of personal potential in a professional skills competition
The realization of personal potential in competitions is mediated by the development of competitive behavior, which we regard as a complex system of internal and external motivation aimed at completing competition tasks and developing the teacher’s personal potential
Summary
The development of the teacher’s personal potential is among the crucial issues of education It has a significant impact on the formation of creativity and personality of students [1], as well as on the teacher’s self-efficacy, personal achievements and job satisfaction [2]. Personal potential determines the teacher’s readiness to participate in professional skills competitions, to develop and transform their personality [6] According to J.M. Abramo and A. We can put forward a research hypothesis that the clarification of the concept of the teacher’s “competitive behavior”, the determination of mental regulation levels, the selection of the relevant diagnostic tools and forms of developing competitive behavior will contribute to the realization of personal potential in a professional skills competition. We need to solve the following tasks: 1) to clarify the concept of “competitive behavior” of a teacher from the viewpoint of potential development; 2) to characterize mental regulation levels of the teacher’s competitive behavior; 3) to select methods for studying the personal potential of a teacher; 4) to determine the forms of developing the teacher’s competitive behavior
