Experience of developing a productive personal and professional position of students-graduates in the training program «Pedagogical education»

The relevance of the research of the productive personal and professional position of a teacher is due to the fact that successful professional activity of a teacher directly affects the quality of education and upbringing of students. In the context of modern challenges, it becomes necessary to identify the characteristics and qualities that contribute to the formation of a productive personal and professional position. In substantiating its characteristics, the authors relied on theoretical and methodological approaches: event, subject-activity and system approaches, used methods of analyzing scientific and methodological literature, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, statistical processing and analysis of the obtained data. The research was carried out at the Department of Secondary General Education and Social Design of Pskov State University and at the Department of General Pedagogy of Banzarov Buryat State University. In the course of the theoretical and methodological analysis, the authors proposed a definition of the key concept of «productive personal and professional position of a student-graduate of the pedagogical direction». The pedagogical conditions that contribute to increasing the productivity of the personal and professional position of students were substantiated, among which special attention is paid to pedagogical reflection. The practice-oriented course «Me in the Teaching Profession» developed by the researchers was tested on a group of 94 students studying in pedagogical areas of training in the 4th and 5th years of study. In parallel, the students were included in artificially simulated situations of professional choice and responsibility and direct professional pedagogical activity in the process of continuous practice in educational institutions. At the control stage of the experimental study, changes in the levels of development of personal and professional position of novice teachers in terms of its productivity were recorded. A set of pedagogical conditions was identified that contribute to an increase in the productivity of personal and professional position of graduating students, future teachers, which is reflected in their professional activities in educational institutions
