DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESEARCH FUNCTION AMONG HISTORY TEACHERS IN THE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The transition of the education system to new standards clarified the requirements for the personality of a modern graduate. Particularly important in the endlessly changing modern conditions are such human qualities as initiative, the ability to think creatively and find quick and non-standard solutions. The decisive factors of competitiveness in a constantly changing world is the development of research activities, which is designed to help overcome the functional mismatch between the education system and the challenges of the time, adapt to the teacher in a constantly changing range of functional responsibilities, and actualize interest in personal and professional self-development.

In order to determine the place and role of research activity as a component in the structure of a teacher's activity, it is necessary to turn to the concept of "pedagogical activity" and consider its essence and structure. Pedagogical activity is understood as activity to create conditions for self-development and self-education of subjects of the educational process. Pedagogical activity is a complexly organized system of a number of activities, each of which, according to the theory of activity of A. N. Leont'ev, has a goal, motives, actions and results. Thus, the peculiarity of pedagogical activity is its polyfunctionality.
