Professional qualities of a kindergarten teacher. What should be a kindergarten teacher


Like any professional activity, pedagogical practice imposes specific requirements on the person who carries it out. We will initially proceed from the fact that a person has consciously made his professional choice and has a predisposition to pedagogical activity.
To date, a sufficiently large number of studies have been carried out in domestic and foreign science concerning the study of the professional and personal qualities of professional teachers. But the main quality, from our point of view, - one that cannot be measured by "test batteries" - is love for children! As well as possible, this provision is reflected in one of the commandments of Sh.A. Amonashvili: “If you want to develop God’s gift of a teacher in yourself, love a child!”.
Pedagogical activity imposes some requirements on the personality of the teacher. These requirements apply to:

  • system of knowledge, skills and abilities;
  • abilities;
  • the field of communication.
Psychological requirements for the personality of the teacher
Summarizing research in the field of educational psychology, R.S. Nemov proposes the following system of psychological requirements for the personality of a teacher.

Good afternoon.

We all know that the kindergarten teacher is a daily witness and participant in the process of shaping the people of the future, helping, and sometimes even hindering their development. Our life is built in such a way that children spend most of their daylight hours not with their own parents, but with kindergarten workers and educators. This fact confirms the high social significance of the teaching profession.

Along with this, we see and know that the world is constantly becoming more complex information. Today it is no longer enough once having received a basic education to work in one's specialty. To meet modern requirements, to maintain the level of competence, it is necessary to constantly study, engage in self-education. Continuing education should become a necessity.

The need to improve the level of knowledge, skills and abilities penetrates into all spheres of life - professional, family, social, personal and, of course, the sphere of pedagogical activity is no exception.

Today we will talk with you about the personal and professional qualities of a modern preschool teacher and the features of the educational process in a modern preschool institution.

On the professional skills of a preschool teacher.

Name the most important, in your opinion, professional skills of a preschool teacher (statement of educators).

The activity of a teacher is multifaceted in its functions and content. It involves mastering a variety of professional skills. These skills are conventionally divided into gnostic, constructive, communicative, organizational and special skills.

Gnostic skills - skills with which the teacher studies the child (individual characteristics, age, personal qualities, relationships with peers, adults, the degree of emotional well-being). The object of study is the family. Gnostic skills are used when studying the pedagogical experience of other educators. It is important for the teacher to develop the ability to understand the inner world of the child.

Constructive skills - for designing the pedagogical process, raising children, taking into account the prospects for educational work. The teacher designs the material equipment of the educational process (craft equipment for games, classes, organization of exhibitions of artistic creativity of children and their parents, etc.). Constructive skills are embodied in work planning, in compiling summaries of educational work, scenarios, holidays, and leisure.

Communication skills - are manifested in the establishment of pedagogically appropriate relationships with individual children and with the whole group, with the parents of pupils, with work colleagues, with the administration of a preschool institution.

Organizational skills - apply to the activities of pupils, parents, colleagues. An important decision is what he will do himself, and what can be entrusted to children, to which it is more expedient to involve parents.

Special skills - the ability to sing, dance, read poetry (compose), knit, make toys, show (staging) a puppet theater and more.

Personal qualities of a modern preschool teacher.

What kind of teacher is he?

Now we will conduct a quiz with you. In a circle, each name one characteristic.

The teacher in the group is the bearer of a certain model of behavior, and the children, being nearby during the day, see and hear how the teacher speaks, what kind of facial expression, intonation, tone of voice he has. In some way, consciously or unconsciously copy it. It is believed that if the teacher constantly speaks in raised tones, shouts, then this is how it should be, this is the norm.

It is in kindergarten that children get their first experience of communicating in a group, in a team, and the educator commands all this.

Experience shows that, in general, the behavior of a group of children is largely a mirror of the behavior of the educator.

Now let's talk about the qualities of a teacher.

Important qualities of a teacher are diligence, efficiency, discipline, responsibility, the ability to set a goal, choose ways to achieve it, organization, perseverance, systematic and systematic improvement of one's professional level, the desire to constantly improve the quality of one's work, etc.

In a number of personal characteristics, qualities should be named that become professionally significant prerequisites for creating favorable relationships in the educational process. Among these qualities are patience, responsibility, commitment, objectivity, respect for people, optimism, emotional balance, the need for communication, interest in the life of pupils, goodwill, restraint, responsiveness and many others.

All modern researchers note that it is love for children that should be considered the most important personal and professional trait of an educator, without which effective pedagogical activity is impossible.

Modern children are more active, mobile in their self-expressions, more informed, more different from each other, they have more different living conditions and upbringing in the family. All this imposes certain requirements on the personality of the teacher. To meet modern requirements, the educator must be:

Active (to support children in their manifestations of activity, to correspond to them). A teacher who sits most of the time on a chair and directs children's activities from him can hardly be called active, striving for the all-round development of children;

Capable of change - to keep up with the rapidly changing world and changing children and their parents;

Attentive - to yourself, your behavior, verbal self-expression, to how your own behavior, speech affects others, including children. Educator (in a cry) - “got up”, “let's go”, “come on, sat down”, “shut up”. Again in a cry, he addresses the children: “Well, why are you shouting?”. And another variant of behavior: "Now we will decide, now we will talk."

Competent - seeking to improve self-education, competent in the profession.

At present, in pedagogical psychology, much attention is paid to the analysis of the subjective properties of the teacher, which determine the effectiveness (productivity) of his pedagogical activity.

Let's pay attention to the personal qualities of the educator, which cause difficulties in his professional activities:

1) lack of a special pedagogical and internal orientation

2) discrepancy between the level of abilities and the requirements of the pedagogical process

3) lack of special-pedagogical, methodological, socio-psychological competence.

Thus, the educator can have both qualities that ensure the success of his activities, and vice versa, personal qualities that cause a number of difficulties.

Features of the educational process.

Pedagogical activity, like any other, is a system that has a certain structure.

MOTIVE, PURPOSE, SUBJECT, WAYS OF IMPLEMENTATION, RESULT

The motives of pedagogical activity are manifested at the stage of professional self-determination: what exactly prompts you to choose a pedagogical profession, to devote yourself to educational activities. The purpose of pedagogical activity is determined by society. Each teacher's character is transformed into an individual setting, which he tries to implement in his activities. For example, the goal of education - the versatile development of the child - is concretized by educators of a preschool institution at the present stage as a full-fledged preparation of the child for schooling, strengthening skills, and developing creative abilities. The originality of pedagogical activity lies in the specifics of the subject. The main tools of pedagogical work - voice (loudness, intonation, expressiveness), facial expressions, gestures (pedagogical technique) - these are various skills of the teacher's personal influence on pupils. The teacher should be able to choose the right tone and style of communication with children depending on the specific situation. The mastering of pedagogical technique makes it possible to achieve better results with less expenditure of energy.

Now let's look at the process of education. This is a process of personality development, which includes both purposeful influence from the outside, and personality development. An important place is occupied by the process of education (educational process). To better understand the role of this process, consider it in the structure of a more general process of personality formation.

In the part where personality formation has a controlled, controlling character, where people are guided by conscious intentions, they do not act spontaneously, but according to a pre-planned plan in accordance with the tasks set, and education is manifested. Education is support in the development of a personality, a specially organized, managed and controlled interaction of educators and pupils.

This structure is based on the identification of the main stages of the educational process. The criterion of the sequence of stages through which the process must go through, aimed at the qualitative solution of the tasks. This structure is very important for understanding the deep patterns of unity and gradualness of the educational process. Knowledge must be translated into beliefs. Beliefs are firm, principled worldviews and beliefs that guide our lives. For example, already in kindergarten, all children know that they need to greet teachers. Why don't all kids do it? Because they are not convinced. This means that education stopped at the first stage - knowledge, without reaching the next one - conviction. And another important component is the formation of feelings. By sharpening the senses and relying on them, educators achieve a correct and quick perception of the required norms and rules. And finally, the formation of the general orientation of the personality, which concludes the whole process, is the development of the stability of the habit of behavior, which becomes the norm.

One of the most important components of the educational process in a preschool educational institution is the creation of conditions for the identification and development of a full-fledged personal resource of each child. Recent changes in preschool education (with the development of FGT) emphasize this, that is, the work of each teacher should be aimed at the formation of a common culture, the development of physical, intellectual and personal qualities, the formation of the prerequisites for educational activities that ensure social success, the preservation and strengthening of children's health preschool age. The work of the preschool educational institution should ensure the versatile development of children, taking into account their age and individual characteristics in the main areas. The main goal is the development of the personality of the child.

As a result, some changes are required from us. Change is a tribute to the times. The computerization of our lives, the availability of various types, types and quality of information, changes in the social system, of course, have also affected children.

Each teacher in the group is a carrier of a certain behavior model, and children, seeing every day examples of the teacher’s attitude towards them, to some activity, hearing speech, the timbre of the intonation of the teacher’s voice, the younger they are, the more trustingly they believe that this is how they need themselves to lead, to say so, to do - that is the norm. Children of a particular group are in many ways a mirror of behavior specific

The kindergarten teacher plays an important role in the upbringing of the child. The psychological climate in the group, the attitude to the kindergarten of each child depends on the teacher. Some children go to kindergarten with pleasure, communication with the teacher brings a certain satisfaction. Others, at the sight of the teacher, begin to act up or cry, in the group they close in on themselves, and visiting the kindergarten turns into torture. When choosing a kindergarten, you first need to get to know the teacher, understand his values, attitude towards children, find out the level of professionalism. It is almost impossible to find a person who would satisfy all the requirements of parents, but you can look for someone close to the ideal. So what does the portrait of the ideal educator look like from the point of view of parents?

First, the teacher must be able to get along with the children. He must understand the problems, interests, needs of each child. Many kids go to kindergarten without being able to talk. Many do not know how to ask for something or ask for something. After all, at home, mom reacted to any of his needs, understanding everything without words. The teacher should establish contact with the baby in such a way that the latter is not afraid and does not hesitate to approach even with the slightest difficulty.

Secondly, the educator must be able and willing to take care of the child. With a good teacher, the children are fed, put to bed, washed, washed, dressed on time, combed and busy with useful work.

Thirdly, the educator must be a specialist, that is, master different methods of education and upbringing. He should prepare the child for school as best as possible, set him up according to one program, and the educator should be well versed in it.

Fourthly, the educator must be able to communicate with parents, resolve conflicts, listen to different opinions and wishes. No question should be left unanswered. The educator should give recommendations on the upbringing of each child.

The profession of an educator is complex and responsible. There are many requirements for her, including from the parents. Finding a reliable, intelligent, well-mannered, balanced, delicate and child-loving person is not easy. But trusting your child to an incompetent teacher is also not worth it. Each parent, focusing on his ideal educator, is able to choose a worthy option for his child.

In studies on the psychology of the educator's activity, a number of qualities are traditionally distinguished that are considered professionally important: pedagogical tact, pedagogical observation, love for the child, individual approach, etc. Recognizing the need for these qualities, many researchers consider the pedagogical position (a kind of installation on the child) to be the main thing in the work of the educator.

Characteristics of professionally important qualities of an educator

In studies on the psychology of the educator's activity, a number of qualities are traditionally distinguished that are considered professionally important: pedagogical tact, pedagogical observation, love for the child, individual approach, etc. Recognizing the need for these qualities, many researchers consider the pedagogical position (a kind of installation on the child) to be the main thing in the work of the educator.

At present, in contrast to the orientation towards the child as a means of the pedagogical process, which is characteristic of directive pedagogy, there is a pedagogy of cooperation that uses a personality-oriented model of education, which is characterized by the orientation towards the child as the goal of the pedagogical process.

Researchers agree that in order to improve professional training, the possibilities of professional self-education should be used more actively.

Professional and pedagogical self-education is defined as a purposeful process of generating ways of self-creation of the processes of theoretical and practical training, a form of awareness of value attitudes, one's own pedagogical goals.

The educator must constantly be aware of the latest achievements of pedagogical science in the field of didactics and preschool education. For the successful implementation of the educational program of education and training in a preschool institution (complex or partial), health-saving and health-forming technologies are being introduced. The educator must clearly know these technologies, their goals, objectives, content, conditions for implementation in the educational process, the effectiveness of the intended result.

To the question of what kind of kindergarten teacher should be, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor T. Komarova answers as follows: “I would highlight two aspects in this matter. First, to have the personal qualities to work successfully with children; secondly, professional skills in order to form a comprehensively developed personality, creative, active, with high moral qualities.

An important quality that a kindergarten teacher must possess is the ability to be creative. The creative personality of the educator is characterized by a special pedagogical enthusiasm, a clear understanding of the “super task” of pedagogical work - educating a person, focusing on the optimal results of his free and happy development, deep respect for the personality of each child, faith in his abilities. Pedagogical enthusiasm is one of the most important prerequisites for pedagogical creativity. Great is the importance of the deep and versatile erudition of the educator, his general culture, erudition, breadth of interests. That is why the development of the creative qualities of the personality of the educator is impossible only within a narrow subject-methodological framework, it requires a wide general cultural baggage, continuously replenished and deepened.

One of the necessary and natural conditions of education is called love for children. Reasonable love, which implies not lisping, not flattering and satisfying whims, but genuine work, friendly communication, attentive attitude to healthy requests, tactful perseverance in developing useful skills and habits.

The individual originality of the educator, his originality determine the stylistic features of the activity, which are associated with specific ways of its implementation. Each educator is inclined to make the most of his individual characteristics that ensure success in his activities, and to overcome those qualities that hinder this success.

The method of self-manifestation of the subject of activity is denoted by the concept of "style". In the broadest sense, style is a stable trend in the ways of implementing activities, that is, an individually-peculiar system of psychological means that a person resorts to in order to best balance his individuality with the external conditions of activity. E.A. Klimov identifies the following features of an individual style:

  1. stable system of techniques and methods of activity;
  2. this system is conditioned by certain personal qualities;
  3. this system is a means of effective adaptation to objective requirements.

The style of activity combines such interrelated components as the nature of the goals put forward by the teacher, the methods and means used by him, and the ways of analyzing the results of work. By style, one can judge the degree of professional maturity of the educator.

An expanded understanding of style makes it difficult to decide on the typology of styles. There are several criteria for classifying pedagogical styles. By the nature of the goals and objectives put forward, one can judge the purposefulness of the style of the educator's activity and distinguish between projective and situational styles. Representatives of the projective style have a clear idea of ​​the goals of the activity, anticipate difficulties and strive to prevent them. The decisions of such educators are clearly aimed at eliminating the causes of negative phenomena. Educators of the situational style do not know how to foresee difficulties, they are not puzzled by planning their daily activities, specific situations are perceived as separate, not related to others.

According to the degree of involvement in the activity, active and passive styles can be distinguished. Since the activity of the educator is aimed at managing the activities of children, the styles of activity are considered in accordance with the leadership styles identified in social psychology (authoritarian, democratic, conniving). Each of these styles clarifies and specifies, on the one hand, the content side of the interaction between the teacher and children, and on the other hand, the formal side - the technique (techniques and methods) for implementing this interaction.

The functions of professional self-improvement - self-education and self-education are currently assigned a particularly important role. Its importance is highly appreciated by teachers and psychologists, scientists and practitioners. As the famous doctor and teacher Janusz Korczak wrote, “he who looks after the children entrusted to him, unable to approach himself critically, is in great danger.”
