Interrelation of cognitive and personal resources of pedagogic workers
The highly topical issue of the psychological resources needed for realisation of teaching process is discussed in the article. The main aim of the article is to research the interrelation of cognitive and personal resources in the focus of the psychological system of activity based on the practice of systemic genetic theory of activity by Vladimir Shadrikov and professional pedagogic ideation concept by Mergalyas Kashapov. More than 130 educators of preschool educational institutions have taken part in the research study. It is estimated that there is the positive partial relation among different cognitive resources (intellect, free of culture constraints and professional thinking). It is demonstrated that the externality depends on emotional contextuality in the professional thinking, prepotence of the external locus of control to the internal one, rejection of others, while internality depends on rational contextuality, when it is necessary to solve emerging problem situations, on creative approach, flexibility, enthusiasm. It has become apparent that the intellect has direct correlation between positively high self-appraisal of personal qualities of the individual (self-control and reflexivity). In return, high self-appraisal of the creative abilities correlates with such criteria of social-psychological adaptation in the area of professional activity as self-acceptance and emotional comfort. The data that have been received by us can serve as a basis for developing psychological follow-up programmes for maturation of cognitive and personal resources of pedagogues aiming to optimise the work of psychological system of activity and to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the pedagogic activity. The article can be used for planning lectures and seminars for the students of psychology and pedagogy departments.
