Mechanisms of personality’s development
Abstract
Modern researches, having provided the study of the development of personality in educational activities, can be combined into three main directions that differ in the original methodological position. Within the first direction, the personality as an internal moment of activities, it is received very interesting results concerning the joint educational activities of senior preschoolers and junior pupils as a means of the psyche development (S. A. Amonashvili, V. S. Mukhina, V. K. Kotyrlo, V. V. Fliakiv etc.), on the development of self-consciousness in educational activities (mainly the works of M. T. Dryhus and her co-workers), which collected important scientific and empirical material, requiring a special work on generalization and, of course, being a part of the actual scientific basis of the psychological theory of a child’s personality development. Within the second direction on the personality is a person who has creative potential, it is found that the central link in the development of interests is the pupils’ acquisition of a special system of educational tasks, the solution of which provides, however, the extension of the existing cognitive experience of the subject, but the creation of conditions, which give rise to the initiative in an independent search for new information. This direction is precisely an attempt to construct the theory of the child’s personality in progress on the basis of a generalization of data obtained during the implementation of experimental training. Within the third direction The process of personality’s development the concept of personality-based mediation of this activity is presented, based on the classical position of L. S. Vyhotskyi on «the personality becomes for himself in fact that he is in himself, because of what he makes for others. This is the process of personality’s becoming» [1, p. 144]. It is studied that the bilateral nature of development lies precisely in the fact that a child develops himself, by means of educational activities, and this is self-development.
