CRITICAL THINKING AND MOTIVATION OF CHESS TEACHERS WITH "BEST EXPERIENCE"

Abstract

Based on the results of experimental research, we conclude that teachers with the best experience of teaching chess, in the course of their professional activities accept their personal limitations, realize the importance of the goal, are interested in the thoughts of others, show active listening skills. This testifies to their critical thinking ability. At the same time, it was found out that teachers with the best chess teaching experience, especially in their professional activities, emphasize career advancement, success, acceptance and encouragement of work results, responsibility, opportunities for creative and professional growth. This indicates that regardless of salary and the social status, teachers are especially driven by internal motives.We strongly believe that the presence of the above-mentioned professional competencies of teachers with "best chess teaching experience" also contributes to the efficiency of the educational process.Therefore, in order to extend the "best experience" of chess teaching, our research team is currently developing a "Best teaching practice" model for chess teachers, aimed at developing the basic competencies and components of a 21st century teacher.
