Toolkit for Productive Management of Self-Development Support for Basic School Students

The article notes the importance, relevance and the need for the formation of the ability for self-development in high school students. It has been substantiated that the formation of these abilities is possible at the secondary level. The difference in approaches to the implementation of management of productive support for self-development is demonstrated, the objective reasons for the current situation are named, and their relationship with the existing pedagogical tools is fixed. The concept of tools for pedagogical support of self-development is considered. The structural and content characteristic of the concept of self-development of high school students was clarified, for which the structural components of self-development of high school students were identified. Variants of tools for pedagogical support of self-development are proposed, the choice of which is determined by the interdisciplinary approach of researchers to the essence of the process of self-development itself. As one of the possible, a toolkit for pedagogical support of self-development was introduced, in which an important role is given to the adolescent's personal thesaurus. The concept of personal thesaurus of a high school student is concretized. A lot of methods of pedagogical support of self-development associated with the chosen toolkit are indicated. One of the methods is described in detail: the technique of creating pages of a thesaurus dictionary, while the dictionary is considered as a way of organizing concepts in a certain subject area. The stages of work on a thesaurus-type dictionary, basic requirements for this dictionary, recommendations for creating its pages, including work on idioms, antonyms and synonyms, single-root words, associations, phrases, etymology, context of use of the selected concept, etc. are presented. The results of a pedagogical experiment are given, which allow one to assess the practical efficiency of using the technique under consideration within the framework of the chosen toolkit for pedagogical support of students' self-development. In particular, the positive dynamics of changes in the level of self-development of high school students in accordance with the cognitive-thesaurus indicator was demonstrated.
