Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 7
Abstract
The paper presents the results of theoretical and empirical study of future preschool teachers’ professional obser- vation skills. The latter are considered as the basis for understanding children’s personal characteristics, which makes them particularly important among the professional qualities of a preschool teacher. The following methods were ap- plied: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalisation of scientific literature); empirical (observation, questioning, test- ing); statistical (comparative and correlation analysis); interpretative (analysis, synthesis, systematisation of the data obtained). 234 third- and fourth-year students majoring in preschool education (6.010101) became participants of the study. Professional observation skills are considered as a professionally important quality, which involves fixation and interpretation of significant, typical and even barely noticeable external demonstrations of educational process partici- pants’ personal characteristics. It has the following functions: research, organisational, motivative, prognostic, con- trolling, regulatory or correctional. Professional observation skills are characterised by the following structural com- ponents: motivational and target-oriented, cognitive, operational. The data obtained have made it possible to distin- guish and characterise the types of future preschool teachers’ professional observation skills (perceptive, standard, potential, and superficial). It has been found that most of the students under study have the potential type, which is manifested in their desire and ability to notice personal characteristics of children, parents and colleagues. However, they make mistakes in interpretation of these demonstrations. These peculiarities indicate the need and opportunity for purposeful development of professional observation skills at the stage of future preschool teachers’ preparation for future work.
