Self-actualization as the necessary precondition for professional becoming of students of humanities university

Abstract

Regarding the range and great variety of current studies concerning the professional development of a future teacher, under-explored is a prerequisite necessary for professional becoming and self-development of a teacher as a professional – the student’s reflection on the upcoming teacher’s professional work. This article intends to analyze self-actualization as the necessary precondition for the professional becoming of students of humanities university. To that end, a range of approaches to scientific and pedagogical research, including methods of theoretical analysis, historiographic, comparative, retrospective, and modeling are used. Given the results, there is an objectively formed contradiction between the current demand of society and school in a self-developing and self-actualizing personality of a teacher, the need to update personal, reflexive mechanisms already at the stage of university training of a specialist, and the lack of development of theoretical and praxeological foundations for managing the process of professional becoming of a future teacher.
