PEDAGOGICAL STABILITY OF FUTURE MUSIC TEACHERS AND TECHNOLOGY OF ITS FORMATION DURING EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

Object. The article concentrates on pedagogical stability in views of its general concepts and considers it as capability to resist negative external factors that helps to succeed in teaching. For this purpose, we have created a technology aimed to develop pedagogical stability of future music teachers. We have found out that most of students have no clear image of profession. In addition, we have also noticed predominated orientation towards music-performing activity or towards teaching activity in instrumental performance, vocal, choir conductor classes.

Methods.  We made a detailed study of the problem of future music teachers’ pedagogical stability formation that covers the period from 2016 to 2020 years and consists of three phases.  The first phase is “crystallization of professional self-image”. The second phase of the technology called “pedagogisation of thinking and reflective skills”, and the last one called “stabilization of professional identity”. The article gives detailed characteristics of principles and activity arrangements, the content and the process of each phase of pedagogical technology.

Findings. With time, following chosen technology students develop their motivational and sense bearing sphere; develop professional identity due to their perception of professional values; activate mechanism of professional sense creation due to perception of humanistic values of pedagogical profession. We also support successful outcomes with diagnostic procedures that we describe in our article.

Conclusions.  It follows from the above, that students’ pedagogical stability depends on their professional identity, in other words, clear understanding of image of profession and self-image as a professional. Considered all, our research is rather successful.
