CREATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TEACHERS-NAVIGATORS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION OF STUDENTS
Abstract
Background. The vocational guidance minimum for students involves the training of teachers-navigators. Systematizing many years of experience in career guidance, the author offers a comprehensive support system for career guidance consultants as a part of specialized programs of additional professional education for teachers-navigators. Purpose. Analysis of the pilot version of recommendations for teachers-navigators. Materials and methods. The principles of a systematic approach are chosen as the methodological basis: integrity, structure, hierarchy, multiplicity, that are consistent with the modern understanding of career guidance as a systemic process. An empirical study was conducted using interviews of random respondents in the form of questionnaire survey. The article contains a set of sources presented by normative legal acts, theoretical studies of the problem elaboration in scientific sources and psychological and pedagogical practice, as well as survey materials Results. Representatives of the educational sphere are often unaware of modern scientific concepts of professional self-determination of students and do not apply them in practice. The request of the professional community for the proposed resource has been identified. In the database, the author combined the key concepts of career guidance, professional self-determination, career navigation, personal potential and potential for choice and self-determination. The author analyzes the feedback from two large segments of the target audience: career guidance consultants (33%) and teacher navigators (67%). We discovered the following: on the one hand, the database is really a resource for teachers-navigators and requires further strengthening; on the other hand, audience often has a request for ready-made solutions (instructions, typical scenarios), but isn’t ready for independent development, that is ensured by the database form itself.
