The development of self-reflection among psychology students during their study
Human self-reflection is studied by a range of sciences such as: philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, management etC. The study of self-reflection is one of actual directions in modern psychology. Self-reflection is under study since Antiquity, because of its huge impact on the development of any person. This article considers the development of self-reflection among psychology students during their study. First of all, the author explains what are "self-reflection" and "pedagogical self-reflection" as these terms are used in modern psychological literature. The author does also show the results of the empirical research on the dynamics of self-reflection development among psychology students during their study. Moreover, the author compares the levels of self-reflection among future bachelors and magisters respectively. One can see, that the levels of both self-reflection and pedagogical self-reflection among psychology students rise gradually during their study. Let us examine this process in more detail: 1) the level of self-reflection as defined with the Karpov's method is 31.5% higher among the 4th year bachelors than the same self-reflection level among the 1st year students. The same levels of self-reflection measured with the same method among the 2nd year master students are 14.4% higher than the same levels among the 1st year master students. 2) the level of pedagogical self-reflection as defined with the Rukavishnikova's method among the 4th year bachelors is 22.8% higher than the same level among the 1st year students. The same level of pedagogical self-reflection as defined with the same method among 2nd year master students is 16.2% higher than the same level among the 1st year master students.
