ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES TO THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS OF STUDENTS' READINESS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of a number of domestic scientists’ research works, aimed at the study of students’ readiness for the professional activity. The author pays the attention to the research works, which deal with the components of readiness for the professional activity. Readiness is viewed as the primary fundamental condition of the implementation of any pedagogical activity. The author provides the rational for the fact that readiness for the professional activity is a complex personal formation, and it appears as a comprehensive reflection of a wide range of personal and professional features. Particular attention is paid to the ability of specialists to demonstrate readiness for the professional activity, readiness for the pedagogical activity, readiness for self-development, readiness for the development of family spiritual and moral values, etc. The characteristic features of the notion of structure have been also revealed. It has to be said that this structure, unlike functions, is characterized by slow processes of its development. In order to generalize the componential structure of various types of personality’s readiness the author has researched opinions
of scientists concerning this structure. On the basis of theoretical analysis of approaches to this issue, the author has proved the complexity of the system of readiness. It requires some changes and consideration of many elements that are uncovered within future teacher’s cultural and educational space. The componential structure of the future teacher’s readiness for the spiritual and moral development of primary schoolchildren is
schematically presented. The analysis of modern approaches to the definition of components of this readiness gives an opportunity to determine the structure of University students’ readiness for the spiritual and moral
development of primary schoolchildren.
