Problem of readiness for pedagogical activity

Vocational and educational activity is a continuous process of solving a number of pedagogical tasks by the teacher. Achieving the same educational goals is possible only through the mastery of teachers' integral ability to solve educational problems during their professional formation. The investigation is devoted to psychological features of educational activities, development of professional competence of the teacher, namely the phase of the formation of a young teacher. The effectiveness of professional formation of young teachers can be judged primarily by how successfully they deal with solving educational problems. The investigation have been performed, which covered 83 teachers, the professional functioning of whom were evaluated by experts. Based on experimental data, research and analysis of teachers' readiness to solve educational problems, the difficulties of this stage have been described: a number of teachers with a high and middle level of readiness to solve educational problems has increased; a large proportion of teachers with low and very low level of readiness to solve educational problems exists. Together with this the analysis of factors faced by the teachers in the teaching profession has been performed. Analysis of these factors makes it possible to note: the development of pedagogical teaching profession is associated with serious problems of external, objective nature as well as by the difficulties caused by personal, psychological reasons; professional formation is made complicated by the fact that the school administration and teaching services do not provide the necessary assistance to teachers; inability to use theoretical knowledge to solve educational problems. As a result, pedagogical decisions made by the teachers, are not theoretically enough justified, which in turn leads to the fact that they carry out their professional functions empirically. Thus, the process of formation of a professional teacher takes commitment and performance, if the study of integral solving of pedagogical (psychodedactic) problems is specially organized.
