Abstract
The article deals with the specificity of professional reflection of the future music teacher in the light of the development of the ideas by E. B. Abdullin. The accumulation of one’s own experience of entering the world of music, the art of teaching, its comprehension and analysis allow a thoughtful student to look at the process of musical education through the eyes of students, their parents, that is, to take the reflective position of a teacher-researcher. The search for ways and means of solving professionally significant tasks requires a music teacher to think reflectively, understand the actions of his students and colleagues, and penetrate their feelings and thoughts. The importance of reflection in solving problem situations, pedagogical tasks, in mastering critical thinking by a future music teacher is substantiated. The conceptual foundations for professional reflection development of a future teacher-musician have been worked out, the structure of reflective analysis and the conditions for the effectiveness of its development by students have been revealed. The techniques and methods of preparing future bachelors and masters of music education for professional reflection in the process of studying at a university, during school practice, in various types of independent, research work of students are considered. The authors have adapted special reflexive techniques (artistic-pedagogical tasks, search games, storytelling, reflective life story, musical reflection, reflective analysis, interviews, pedagogical essays, creative portfolio). The article analyzes the experience of Dutch specialists, the author’s methods of foreign researchers (ALACT – model, “Wall”, “Arrows”, “Visiting card”, a system of reflective questions, etc.). Adapted for use by students in music lessons in the course of pedagogical practice, they become effective means for introspection, self-assessment of the activities of future bachelors / masters of music education. Based on the material of autobiographies and interviews of great musicians-performers, actual problems of music education, ways of spiritually reflexive entry into the world of art and artistic creation are analyzed.
