Lecture About Lecturers, or Classification of Teachers of Theoretical Disciplines Based on the Key Methods of Professional Self-Realization
This article is a revised and supplemented version of the report with the same name, voiced by the author at the Twelfth International Scientific Conference “SOCI- ETY - LANGUAGE - CULTURE: Urgent Problems of Interaction in the XXI Century”. I. S. Samokhin proposes his own classification of scientific and pedagogical workers who teach theoretical disciplines in modern universities. The main way of professional self-realization is taken into account - the approach to the presentation of educational material, the style of interaction with students during the classes. Five types of lecturers are distinguished: three main types (“readers”, “reciters”, “narrators”) and two additional ones, which are introduced with a share of irony (“chatterers” and “non-speakers”). It is noted that nowadays lectures can no longer compete with extracurricular forms of educational activity (according to I. S. Samokhin, the only lecturers able to compete with skillful distance learning are outstanding “narrators”, whose number is very small). The analysis of literature was not carried out: the author relies on his own observations and the experience of his acquaintances related to higher education (students, teachers, meth- odologists). Nevertheless, the article’s title refers to the tutorial “Lecture about Lecture” (N. M. Kolychev, V. V. Semchenko, G. G. Levkin, E. V. Sosnovskaya).
