THE RESEARCH OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP QUALITIES OF FUTURE TEACHERS

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of psychological factors in the development of leadership qualities in future teachers during their professional study. It highlights that a significant number of works by contemporary domestic and foreign psychologists are devoted to the issue of teacher's leadership qualities. Researchers define the phenomenon of leadership qualities as a relevant topic that generates considerable scientific interest. The article describes an author's approach to understanding the holistic structure of leadership qualities and the importance of its formation and development during the professional training of teachers, particularly in the period of educational reforms (such as the concept of the New Ukrainian School). A complex of psychodiagnostic tools was proposed, allowing for a comprehensive and thorough examination of the personality of future teachers from the perspective of leadership. The study involved students from the II to IV year, from three higher education institutions, aged 18 to 21. Based on the analysis of the components of pedagogical activity, taking into account the structural and content components of leadership qualities in future teachers, the following psychodiagnostic methods were identified: "Self-Actualization Test" by Yu. Alyoshina, L. Gozman, "Method for determining the level of professional orientation of students" by T. Dubovitska, "Assessment of Communicative and Organizational Inclinations - KOS" by V. Sinyavsky and B. Fedorishin, "Diagnostic of Leadership Abilities" by Ye. Zharikov, Ye. Krushelnytsky, "Hall's Test for Determining the Level of Emotional Intelligence," "Behavioral Self-Regulation Style" by V. Morosanova, "Method for studying the level of subjective control (RSC)" by J. Rotter, and the "Questionnaire on reflexivity" by A. Karpova. The empirical study allowed for determining the level of development of leadership qualities in the selected sample. The analysis of the empirical research results revealed that certain indicators are underdeveloped and require improvement. This necessitates further research into the psychological factors that contribute to the development of the aforementioned qualities.
