STUDY OF INITIATIVITY AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PHENOMENON

Abstract

The article studies initiative as an important personality trait that determines success in all spheres of life. The author points out the need to develop this personality trait already at the stage of future specialist training. An analysis of the main approaches to the study of initiative is presented. Based on the methodology of the system-functional approach to the study of personality traits by A.I. Krupnov, a model of initiative has been designed. The scientific novelty of the designed model is represented by the substantive characteristics of the components of the phenomenon under study, the definition of their functions and manifestations, as well as diagnostic tools that allow to present an objective assessment of the level of formation of initiative and its individual aspects. In conclusion, promising areas of scientific and pedagogical activity are formulated, where the results of this study can be used.
