Methodical Work as a Means of Developing Professional Reflection of Teachers

Abstract

The article highlights the analysis of theoretical and methodological work on methodological work as a result of the authors' reflection. The main aspects of methodological work are investigated. In the context of researching the problem of professional reflection of a college teacher, we consider methodical work as a means of instrumental and technological support of the process of teaching academic disciplines. Methodical work has a potentially reflective character, during which the college teacher carries out self-analysis of his own attitude to professional activity, assimilates its means and methods. The analysis of experience of methodical work of pedagogical colleges has revealed, that its purpose is mainly identified for the purpose of functioning of methodical offices of these establishments and professional activity of their heads. Comprehension of the information received allowed us to conclude: if development of professional reflection of teachers of colleges is not specifically and purposefully carried out in the process of methodical activity, then spontaneous formation of the main components of professional reflection (motivational, cognitive, activity, personal) is ineffective and slow. Consequently, this process should be guided and improved. The method of analysis and synthesis, exploratory and explanatory methods are applied for the purpose of effectiveness of the study.
