AFFECTIVE SPHERE OF CONSCIOUSNESS AS A DRIVING FORCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCIENTIFIC STYLE OF THINKING (HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE)

Abstract

The article examines an affective component of the psyche as an intrapersonal resource for the development of the scientific style of teachers’ thinking. At the same time, an affective area means a whole complex of mental processes: an action of non-target (affective) will, emotions and feelings of an individual. The relevance of this research is largely tendentious and is determined by the requirements of modern national and federal projects in the field of education. This implies the demand for specialists with a high level of research culture. One of the key elements of this type of culture is the scientific style of thinking. At the same time, the development of this professional and personal neoplasm is possible in various ways. Based on the current economic situation, it is prudent to explore low-cost ways of development. In this light, the connection of irrational personal resources to the development of the rational area of thinking meets the indicated conditions. At the same time, this idea is based on scientific research that is significant for Russian pedagogy and psychology. The author’s approach is based on the concept of L.S. Vygotsky on the unity of the affective and intellectual nature of the individual. Under the auspices of this idea, the author uses the method of reverse proof, as well as the method of explication. The demand for these methods is determined by the approaches that are imperfect in the content part, learning the technologies for the development of the scientific style of thinking in persons who become 25-35 years of age. The study also used the participatory observation method. The observation took place during the work of teachers in the framework of research teams. As a way of activating the affective processes of personality, the method of personification of various phenomena that teachers encountered in the process of working in research teams was used. It is found that the activation of the affective processes of a person allows him to improve his rational area of the psyche, in particular, to improve the scientific style of thinking of teachers.
