Application of the cinema pedagogics method to popularize the profession of teacher among schoolchildren

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The article discusses the image of the teacher in the modern public, the attitude of various subjects to his/her professional work. It is stated that the teacher's profession remains one of the most demanded and significant from the position of ensuring socio-cultural stability of society. The role of a teacher is underestimated, given the significant influence on the development of the younger generation, high focus on the formation of schoolchildren's worldview. There is an unjustified tendency of high criticism of the teacher's personality; his/her contribution to the process of personality formation of modern schoolchildren is downplayed. This does not contribute to the improvement of the quality of pedagogical activity, reduces the professional motivation of education specialists. The problem of finding effective ways to form a respectful attitude of society to pedagogical work is actualized. The popularization of the teaching profession will ensure the preservation of positive traditions of national pedagogy; will ensure its attractiveness in the process of professional choice. As an effective pedagogical means of popularization the cinema pedagogics method is attracted, which has shown its effectiveness in solving many complex pedagogical problems. Therefore, the goal of the research is to characterize the pedagogical system of popularization of the teaching profession among schoolchildren of general educational organizations using the means of cinema pedagogics and to substantiate the feasibility of its application in a wide pedagogical practice. The analysis of scientific literature proves the relevance of the task of increasing the prestige of the teaching profession in society. However, there is a lack of theoretical and methodological basis for the application of ways to popularize the teaching profession, focused not only on career guidance activities, but also on broad public awareness of teaching activities to increase respect and interest in the work of teachers in society. The methodological bases of the study are scientific ideas about the significant role of the teacher in the process of forming the personality of schoolchildren, the provisions on the integration of education and culture, the results of the author's research on the resources of the method of cinema pedagogics in solving complex and important problems of modern education. The main result of the work should be considered the justification of the feasibility of applying the proposed pedagogical system of popularization of the teaching profession among schoolchildren using the method of cinema pedagogics in a wide pedagogical practice. This system is presented in a holistic form in the totality of the following elements: goal, forms of popularization of the teaching profession, content of this activity, applied methods and means, appropriate conditions and the expected result. The stages of implementation of the pedagogical system are characterized; the content of work with schoolchildren, teachers, parents and the population is specified. A criterion-evaluation apparatus is developed and presented, which makes it possible to reveal the real attitude of schoolchildren to the teaching profession. The results of empirical research confirming the effectiveness of the proposed author's solution are presented. Scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a complete pedagogical system of popularization of teacher's profession among schoolchildren. It is substantiated that the use of cinema pedagogics method is an effective means of influencing the attitude of schoolchildren to the teacher and his/her pedagogical activity. Theoretical significance is determined by the fact that the obtained results can be taken into account in understanding the role of the teacher in modern society, designing ways of popularization of pedagogical professions, including professions based on the implementation of pedagogical functions. The practical significance of the research is represented by the possibilities of application of the proposed educational content, forms, methods and means in the mass practice of pedagogical education, especially for enriching the forms of work with schoolchildren of psycho-pedagogical classes. The obtained results can be taken into account in the development of the content and forms of additional professional education of teachers.
