HISTORICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF TEACHER’S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH

Abstract

The article reveals the historical and methodological bases of the teacher’s professional development. The paper analyzes national and foreign researchers’ ideas about the teacher’s professional development, as well as factors that ensure its effectiveness. The authors emphasize that the concept of teacher’s professional development is rendered by researchers in different ways, but allocation of professional and personal components in the teacher’s development is seen as common to all definitions. The research generalizes philosophical, pedagogical works devoted to the problem of personality development, the main statements of personality psychology and personal approach in education, system-activity and acmeological scientific approaches. It is revealed that many research works on the problem of research are based on the idea of L. S. Vygotsky on the correlation between learning and personal development, as well as on the leading role in this training. Despite the multifaceted analysis of the teacher’s professional development problem in educational institutions of different types, the matter of organizational and pedagogical conditions of teacher’s professional development organizations of secondary vocational education remains insufficiently investigated. Though it is the level of the education system, which allows solving the problem of shortage of skilled workers, that in recent years is affected by active reforms associated with the modernization of educational organizations.
