A young teacher in the mirror of change

Abstract

Increasing requirements for the results of the education system made it necessary for young teachers to search for individual educational routes for professional development. Thus, the subject of the present study is the choice of an individual educational route, and the object of the study is a young teacher. The purpose of this work is to study the choice of an individual educational route by young teachers. Materials and methods. The main methods of this study are the deductive method and the method of pedagogical analysis, which allow a fresh look at traditional problems and established views on the choice of professional development by young teachers. Our scientific analysis of the category of an individual educational route is aimed at a comprehensive study of the essence and tasks of choosing an individual way for young teachers to realize their professional potential. Results. The study showed that the choice of an individual educational route for professional development is influenced by both internal and external factors. In many ways, this choice is determined by the personal characteristics of a young teacher, his interests, directions related to the tasks of his professional development. Findings. An analysis of the results of experimental work proves the objectivity of the perceived choice by teachers of the components of an individual educational route. The choice of components is largely due to systemic changes in the professional and pedagogical activities of teachers.
