The role of knowledge exchange in the development of teachers' psychological and pedagogical culture

The article is devoted to the question of professional development of the modern teacher in part of his psychological and pedagogical culture. A knowledge exchange mechanism to facilitate this is proposed. A review of the scientific literature is carried out, which makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the importance of knowledge exchange in the general education organization. The results of a survey of educators aimed at identifying teachers' readiness to exchange knowledge are presented. The obstacles to knowledge sharing related to the personalities of teachers are identified. Among these obstacles is the uncertainty or overconfidence of teachers, which prevents them from effectively exchanging knowledge in the pedagogical environment. It has been found that teachers need to develop their own psychological and pedagogical culture to improve the quality of their professional activities. Directions in professional development of teachers are offered, focusing on overcoming difficulties in knowledge exchange and contributing to the development of psychological and pedagogical culture of teachers.
