Research of future masters of pedagogy’s socio-professional activity

Abstract

The purpose was to conduct an empirical study of the content parameters of future masters of pedagogy’s socio-professional activity. Valid psychodiagnostic methods, purposeful observation, and statistical data processing methods were used to display relevant content parameters of socio-professional activity. With the clarification of reliable correlations, an ascertaining strategy was developed. It was revealed that respondents’ general activity (GA) had reliable connections with all parameters of motivation: internal (rs=.208; p<.01), external negative (rs=.099; p<.05), and external positive (rs=.128; p<.05), as opposed to creative activity (CA), which was only reliably associated with internal motivation (rs=.198; p<.01). It was discovered that creative activity had the most reliable correlations with the individual’s self-regulation parameters – four in total: modeling (rs=.088; p<.05), programming (rs=.112; p<.05), flexibility (rs=.228; p<.01) and independence (rs=.245; p<.01). It has been established that creative activity is essential in the development of the social and professional activity. It is concluded that it is preferential to operationalize received scientific facts into educational and professional training and professional development of future masters of pedagogy.
