THE CULTOROLOGICAL TENDENCIES OF A TEACHER’S PERSONALITY IN THE SOCIOMETRIC MEASUREMENT

 

Language: Ukrainian

 

The basis of our study is an attempt to analyze the main aspects of culturological tendencies formation of a teacher’s personality in the sociometric measurement, to observe the conditions of pedagogical competence and teacher’s authority development, to define the main characteristics of his leisure activities.

In the psychological and pedagogical studies of modern scholars such issues as the formation of a future teacher and educator, of a socially active and creative person are highlighted. However, the role and the place of sociometric status of the personality in the development of professional self-actualization is insufficiently studied. In particular the personality of as teacher as an educator of the cultural values of the society and his needs are disclosed.

The main task of education is the development and self-development of a human as a personality in the process of learning. Modern society requires certain standards of the personality. It needs a free, intelligent personality, able to live and work in the conditions of the world that is constantly changing. It is possible to educate and train such a person can only with such an approach to learning, where more attention is given to the individual psychological characteristics of an individuality.

The article aims to study the problems of a teacher’s personality self-actualization in the sociometric measurement, according to his cultural values and priorities. The main tasks of measuring teacher ‘s sociometric status are justification of the major problems concerning the formation of the teacher’s authority; determining the factors that influence the development of an individual’s cultural values; disorganizing factors of the teacher’s pedagogical activity; leisure arguments about a teacher’s active recreation.

The authority is a socio-psychological resource of an educational community. Its basis is trust generated by sincerity, tolerance, initiative, empathy, restraint, objectivity, balance and so on. However, educational activities are not always protected from social destruction. Very often family circumstances are the focus of personal problems of the people who disrupt it in sociological terms. The psychological mood of a teacher is reflected on his teaching activities, resulting in accumulated stability, self-control, self-esteem and hard work or, conversely, an infantile character appears. The psychological status of an individual is the indicator of a teacher’s professional tolerance, his personal maturity, values and cultural tendencies.

Keywords: cultural tendencies of a personality, sociometric status, pedagogical competence, self-actualization, recreational activities.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF PEOPLE-PLACE EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN DIFFERENT PERIODS OF ADULTHOOD

 

Language: Ukrainian

 

This paper examines the role of place and identity processes in different periods of adulthood. An extensive and ever-growing body of literature exists that explores the nature and nuances of people’s emotional relationships to place. This includes writings on sense of place, place attachment and place identity. A review of this literature suggests that while these concepts are broadly defined and discussed in theory, their application in research does not fully embrace all of the important dimensions they suggest. Empirical research, influenced by the notion of ‘home’, consequently focuses on residential settings, positive affect and a depoliticized view of individual experiences.

The comparative analysis includes such dimensions of people relationships with the place of residence as a local identity, attachment to place, national identity, openness to the multicultural past of the city and personal meaning of the city. Results showed that there were no differences between age groups of adulthood in the types of territorial identity (identity to country and region, european identity). Obtained results show that there were found significant differences in different groups of adulthood in the manifestation of their relation to the residence, meaning city of residence, types of attachment to the place of residence and the principles of identity to the place, such as self-esteem. Also, the article presents general characteristics of each group of adulthood for better understanding of the emotional connections with residence in different age groups.

Key words: place attachment, place identity, local identity, person-place emotional bonds, meaning of place, adulthood.
