Abstract
<p>Professional multidimensionality is ability of a specialist to correlate the directions, approaches (integrity) and/or to combine performance of several functions (multifunctionality), to conjoin the simultaneous solution of several tasks (multitasking). The empirical research on identification of a real picture of professional multidimensionality of specialists in three fields of activity was performed by research associates group of the Nizhnekamsk office of UNESCO department at A.I. Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University under the leadership of the authors of this article. In their professional activity specialists most often apply such basic multidimensional competences as multifunctionality, multitasking and integrity. Empirical experiment covered 180 representatives of different spheres of professional activity. On the basis of experimental studies we received the following results. Rather high level of professional multidimensionality is shown by research associates – 27,9% of them possess multifunctionality, 23,3% – multitasking, 18,6% – integrity, 13,8% – the combined multidimensional competences. Among elementary school teachers professional multidimensionality is demonstrated thus: 21,1 % of them show multifunctionality, 24,7% – multitasking, 15,3% – integrity, 7.2% – the combined multidimensional competences. Professional multidimensionality among drivers of buses is demonstrated thus: 15,4 % of them possess multifunctionality, 13,5% – multitasking. Drivers of buses show absence of integrity and the combined multidimensional competences.</p>
Highlights
Professional multidimensionality is the ability to correlate several directions, approaches and/or to combine performance of several functions, to conjoin simultaneously solution of several tasks
During a research of professional multidimensionality problems, questions of forming of multidimensional competences of specialists in various fields of activity, significant contribution was brought by research associates of the Nizhnekamsk office of UNESCO department at A.I
– Integrity I + multifunctionality I + multitasking I is difficultly combined ability of a multidimensional specialist to correlate in professional activity 2 approaches or directions, to combine execution of 2 professional functions and to conjoin the solution of 2 production tasks
Summary
Professional multidimensionality is the ability to correlate several directions, approaches and/or to combine performance of several functions, to conjoin simultaneously solution of several tasks. The following multidimensional competence – ability to conjoin simultaneously solution of several tasks is called multitasking. Professional multidimensionality is competitive advantage of modern specialists today They obtain higher working efficiency due to manifestation of multifunctionality and multitasking. Questions of education of a multidimensional person, forming of multidimensional thinking received reflection in works of Y.C. During a research of professional multidimensionality problems, questions of forming of multidimensional competences of specialists in various fields of activity, significant contribution was brought by research associates of the Nizhnekamsk office of UNESCO department at A.I. Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University under the leadership of one of the authors of this article
