INTELLECTUAL-COGNITIVE CHARACTERISTICS AND INTERPRETIVE COMPETENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL: ANALYSIS BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE EXPERIMENT

The work is devoted to the problem of intellectual and cognitive factors and components of the interpretive competence of the individual. From this point of view, the materials of the previously conducted experiment are analyzed. The purpose of the experiment was to reveal tendencies to correlate the level of formation of human interpretive processes with the level of development of the main metacognitions: intellectual initiation, strategicness, reflection and decentration. The analysis confirmed the leading role of these intellectual and cognitive abilities of an adult in terms of the role in the formation of his interpretive potential. The role of each of the metacognitions in terms of meaning-making or meaning-perception processes in the context of human interpretive skills is analyzed. The correlations of individual components of each metacognition with the development of interpretability in a person are monitored and some phenomena revealed during the survey are analyzed. This concerns such qualities as independence, planning, programming, modeling, evaluation of results, readiness for self-development, reflexivity, subjective quality of choice, dialogicity of interpersonal relations. It was concluded that required components of an adult's interpretive competences are the development of mechanisms for evaluating results, thoroughness, independence and satisfaction with choices, readiness for self-development. A higher level of formation of interpretive mechanisms in an adult correlates with more productive reflection (systemic) and fewer manifestations of unproductive (introspection and quasi-reflection), as well as a higher level of indicators of dialogicity, self-value and constructiveness of interpersonal relations, which indicates the development of decentration. Constant configurations of metacognitions have been revealed, which can be considered hypothetical factors of influence on a person's interpretive capabilities. The main axes of contrasting existing metacognitive skills as levers of influence on the formation of interpretive processes of adults are: (a) presence of most metacognitive skills in a person – lack of competence in most metacognitions and (b) reflexivity – non-reflexivity of a person.
