FORMATION OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS OF FUTURE TEACHERS ON THE BASIS OF HUMANITY

Abstract

The specificity of the humanitarian principle in education is considered. The methodology of humanitarianism based on the ideas of cognitive sciences and allowing to ensure the formation of a new type of teacher is substantiated. The concepts of consciousness and self-consciousness of the teacher are revealed. The article presents the process of formation of self-consciousness of the future teacher as the main factor of his professional education. This process is correlated with the model of spiral dynamics, which explains the levels of human self-consciousness characterized by systems of certain values. The model of spiral dynamics helps to see forming of self-consciousness as an integral dynamic process of sequential deployment of a system of values. The authors’ typology of teachers as possessors of “spiral-dynamic” levels of self-consciousness is given. The analysis of understanding of the level of self-awareness by future teachers is performed. Several positions have been identified that allow to track the process of forming the self-consciousness of future teachers, determine their orientation in behavior, relationships and activities, and identify levels. The paper shows that the process of forming the self-consciousness of future teachers should be built taking into account the consistent deployment of their experience of awareness of their value systems at different levels. These levels allow seeing the entire hierarchy and integrity of the situations in which the teacher resides as a subject of consciousness, communication and activity.
