Generalization and dissemination of effective experience as a way of development of teacher’s pedagogical skills

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The problem of determining new ways of continuous professional development of teachers of general education organizations is actualized. Pedagogical support of a modern teacher in the development of professional mastery continues to be a significant task for additional professional education. In this regard, the authors of the article emphasize that the process of searching, comprehension and conceptualization of original pedagogical solutions ensures the formation of a unique methodological style of the teacher, improvement of his/her pedagogical technique and tact. The implementation of this process is considered as an effective way to develop teacher's pedagogical skills. The goal of the research is defined on this basis as the study of the influence of generalization and dissemination of effective experience on the activation of the process of development of teacher's pedagogical skills. During the analysis of scientific literature, the steady interest of researchers to the study of the phenomenon of teacher's professional mastery was revealed. It is established that in the system of additional professional education there is a search for ways of pedagogical support of continuous professional growth of a teacher, which can result in the formation of a teacher-master. Methodology (materials and methods). The methodological basis of the research is supported by the concepts of continuous education of teachers, generalization and dissemination of pedagogical experience. The main results of the research are related to the consideration of key components of teacher's pedagogical skills (pedagogical technique, pedagogical tact, individual style of activity) and determines its theoretical significance. Scientific novelty is reflected in the development of criterion-level characteristics of the development of teacher's pedagogical skills, identification of effective ways of its development. Based on the idea of developing ways of informal knowledge sharing, a non-traditional tool for improving pedagogical skills - generalization and dissemination of teachers' own effective experience - is proposed. Within the framework of the research an algorithm of generalization and dissemination of pedagogical experience has been developed. The proposed algorithm can be effectively applied in a wide practice of additional professional education of teachers, including in the conditions of their intra-organizational training. The results of the research have practical significance. The developed criterion-level characteristics of teacher's pedagogical skills can be used to improve the tools for certification of pedagogical staff, development of evaluation materials used in professional competitions. The description of the stages of the algorithm of generalization and dissemination of teachers' effective experience can serve as a basis and sources for selecting the content of additional professional education to be used in the work with innovative teachers and teacher-researchers. Further prospects of research are associated with the development and implementation of additional professional programs aimed at assisting teachers of general education organizations in the development of professional skills, including the use of ways to include them in the processes of generalization and dissemination of experience.
