Conditions for stimulating subjective activity in the process of professional and personal development of teachers

The problem considered in this article is relevant for the entire territory of the Russian Federation: the development of domestic education, an increase in its prestige at the world level is impossible without the sustainable and continuous development of its main subject - the teacher. At the same time, the continuous professional and personal development of a teacher cannot be ensured and organized without his personal participation, high educational motivation and active subjectivity. The purpose of the study is to determine the leading mechanisms of professional and personal development of teachers. The methodological foundations of the study were the provisions of the andragogical approach; the provisions of the subject-activity approach, which make it possible to turn to the subjectivity of the teacher, to the analysis and self-analysis of his educational needs, to the motivation of development and self-development as mechanisms for resolving internal contradictions in conditions of changes in the professional environment; theoretical provisions of the subjectivity of domestic psychological and pedagogical science. The empirical part of the study is provided by theoretically grounded indicators of the teacher's professional and personal development, diagnostic procedures and techniques. The results of the monitoring service, the survey and questioning of teachers showed that in the rank of motives for advanced training, the first place is still occupied by the motive of the upcoming certification; in second place is advanced training in connection with regulatory or organizational changes in education; in third place is the motive for advanced training as the need for a prompt response to the social situation. At the same time, the overwhelming majority of teachers who took part in the survey confirmed the need for continuous professional and personal development and motivation for lifelong learning. Consequently, the system of additional professional education is faced with the most important task - the task of initiating the development of the teacher's subjectivity as the leading mechanism of his professional and personal development.
