Development of criterial apparatus for psychological competence evaluation of future ukrainian language and literature teachers

Abstract

The article is a part of the research dedicated to the relevant problem of psychological competence formation of future Ukrainian language and literature teachers. In previous works the analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of professional competence of future teachers-philologists was carried out. The results of the analysis revealed that psychological competence is an important component of professional pedagogical competence. At the same time, it was found that the psychological competence of future Ukrainian language and literature teachers has not yet been the subject of dedicated scientific research.

For the purpose of a comprehensive study of psychological competence of future teachers-philologists the author proposed the definition of this phenomenon. The content and structure of the studied competence have been developed. It is proposed to distinguish motivational, cognitive, practical, personal and auto-psychological components. The content of each component is described in detail.

For further experimental work on the psychological competence formation of future Ukrainian language and literature teachers it was proposed to determine the criterial apparatus for evaluating its formation among students. Scientific approaches to the evaluation of various aspects of competence of future specialists were analyzed and summarized.

 It has been established that the majority of researchers propose to distinguish motivational, cognitive, activity and personal evaluation criteria. Taking into consideration the necessity of correspondence of evaluation criteria to the structure of psychological competence, the criterial research apparatus was developed. It includes motivational and personal, cognitive, practical and auto-psychological criteria. For each criterion, the system of indicators corresponding to the content of the psychological competence structural components of future Ukrainian language and literature teachers is defined. Taking the developed criteria and indicators into account, high, average and low levels of psychological competence of the future Ukrainian language and literature teachers were highlighted and characterized.
