INTEGRATIVE MODEL OF HOLISTIC KNOWLEDGE OF SCHOOLCHILD’s INDIVIDUALITY BY TEACHER. MESSAGE 1. THEORETICAL SUBSTANTIATION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH

Abstract

From the standpoint of a systematic approach, the process of teacher’s cognition of the integral individuality of a student is considered. The purpose of the study: through the integration of various theories and approaches, to substantiate a new system-integrative approach to pedagogical cognition of the integral individuality of students by a teacher. Research objective: to show that the systems "subject", "integral individuality", "cognition" form a trinity that ensures the functioning of the resulting polysystems: "integral individuality - cognition - object", "integral individuality - cognition - subject", "integral individuality - cognition - integral individuality". Thus, the most complete knowledge of student’s integral individuality by a teacher is ensured. Pedagogical knowledge is defined as a multi-level process of studying the student's individuality as an object and as a subject of cognition, based on scientific and theoretical knowledge of the properties of the student's integral individuality in dialectical unity with practical knowledge about the student and the teacher's reflexive knowledge about himself, formed in the process of interpersonal interaction in the dyad "teacher - student". The resultative and procedural directions of the study of teacher’s cognition of the student are singled out, namely: the study of the relationship between the properties of the integral individuality of the student and their “life manifestations” observed by the teacher, the role of reflexivity and objective factors of pedagogical activity in the process of cognition. The novelty and theoretical significance of the work is determined by the fact that it fits into the current direction of psychological research - the development of psychodiagnostic tools for systemic psychological research that is in demand in pedagogical and social practice. The practical result of the study is the creation of a model of holistic cognition of the integral individuality of a student by a teacher, including the development of a program for scientific and practical observation of a teacher over the "life manifestations" of the properties of the integral individuality, as well as a questionnaire for the integral individuality of schoolchildren of different ages.
