It has long been known that a person is happy when he does what he loves and enjoys it. But for some reason today, many feel uncomfortable in their workplace. Is it because they chose the wrong direction of activity? Back in the last century, the great artist correctly noted: “Do not be a cow crow, do not fly frogs under a cloud!” But how do you define your purpose? Irina Yuryevna Sokolova, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Teacher-Researcher of the TSPU, tells about this.
Everything starts at birth
At one time, working at a technical college, I helped many students decide on the choice of a professional path, - says Irina Yuryevna. - It seems, you see, a person has a mathematical mindset, and the intellect is a diplomat, so maybe he doesn’t need to get behind the machine, but to manage people. There is potential in every person, it is important to discover and develop it in time. Each of us comes to earth already with inclinations, that is, with physiological characteristics and a type of nervous system. The intellect is formed in the process of education, training, as a response to the mind to overcome certain difficulties. By socializing, the child will either develop his natural talents or drive them into a corner. The task of parents at this stage is to observe what the child likes best: draw, dance, write stories, sing, build multi-storey buildings or collect a herbarium.
Of great importance is the definition of left-handedness - right-handedness. Since it is known that the left hemisphere, which is considered dominant in right-handed people, is responsible for logic, analysis, speech-thinking activity, for storing and processing factual information, and mathematical abilities. The right hemisphere is responsible for intuition, imaginative thinking, imagination, processing of non-verbal information, musicality, spatial orientation and emotions. In children under 7 years old, the cerebral hemispheres are in the formation stage, interhemispheric connections are actively developing, so left-handedness can be hidden. To recognize which hand is leading, you need to pass the following tests.
Left-Right TestsDetermine the leading eye. The child is invited to look into a kaleidoscope or a telescope (to which eye will he bring it first (L, P). Interlacing of the fingers: the upper position of the thumb (L, R). Cross your arms over your chest: "Napoleon's pose", which hand lies on top - L, P. Determination of the size of the fold of the nail of the thumb. On which hand (L, R) is the venous system more developed. Determine which hand is 1-2 mm longer. Observe which foot starts the movement. Which hand holds a pen, fork, spoon, brushes teeth, shoes. Which hand is combed. 10. Which hand cuts the paper, unlocks the door. More than half of the answers P - right-handed, L - left-handed, if three or four questions showed a left reaction - hidden left-handedness. It is necessary to develop the child's abilities based on the functions of the dominant hemisphere. |
I.P. Pavlov proposed a classification of personality types based on the characteristics of the activity of the nervous system. The scientist divided all people into three types, depending on the mechanism of work and interaction of the right or left hemisphere.
artistic type personality (functions of the right hemisphere are active) - a person perceives the world through images, does not analyze and does not attach importance to details.
thinking type(functions of the left hemisphere are active) - a person is inclined to logical thinking, resorts to analysis, calculates the situation.
Medium type- the most common, corresponds to the balance between the left and right hemispheres, between logical thinking and artistic perception.
Research by psychophysiologists indicates that nature has in every person the potential of a “thinker” and “artist” - a creative personality, which is associated with the in vivo formed properties of the nervous system, the functions of the cerebral hemispheres, on the basis of which various human abilities and types of giftedness develop. But, unfortunately, in the modern school, children develop the type of “thinker” more, leaving the artistic type without much attention. In this case, a very important potential of the individual remains unused, because of which the choice of a professional path suffers.
M.S. Kagan singled out five potentials in the structure of each personality:
1) Epistemological. It is determined by the amount and content of information that a person has, based on knowledge about the natural and social world, and the ability to cognize it. The set of information depends on the natural mindset, education and practical experience of the individual.
2) Axiological potential of personality. This system of values (ideals, aspirations, goals, beliefs), which is acquired by a person in the process of socialization.
3) Creative. Received from nature and independently used abilities for certain actions, for creative or destructive, productive and reproductive work, as well as the degree of their implementation in a particular area.
4) Communication potential. It is characterized by the degree and form of her communication, the nature and strength of establishing contacts with other people. The essence of interpersonal communication is expressed in the paradigm of social roles.
5) The artistic potential of the individual. The level of artistic needs, the intensity of their use, the method of satisfaction.
In each person three "I" are combined in different proportions. An individual is a person as a biological being living according to the program of nature, his tasks: to protect himself, to survive. Personality - a person as a being living in a certain society and pursuing the goals set by society. Individuality - a person who can live according to his own program, set his own goals, create, create. A personality is determined not only by its character and temperament, but by the volume and quality of knowledge, the system of values and the ability to communicate with the outside world. The highest task of any person is to develop individuality, relying on the potential of the individual.
Also, already in elementary school, it is possible and necessary to identify the type of child's temperament, - the teacher-psychologist comments, - which depends on the physiological processes of the brain and their relationship: excitation, inhibition. Extroverts (choleric, sanguine) are impulsive individuals who tend to splash their feelings out, introverts (phlegmatic, melancholic) are reflective types, prone to inner experience, closed behavior.
Impulsivity-reflexivity are two sides of one of the ways of cognitive activity, knowledge of the features of which is important for the teacher to take into account in the process of educational activity in relation to each student. Thus, it was found that, according to their individual characteristics, reflective students (“maturing later”) most often have an inert nervous system and perceive information visually well. Impulsive schoolchildren, as a rule, have a mobile nervous system, perceive information better by ear, according to psychophysiologists, they are considered to be “early maturing”. When building educational and cognitive activity, it is very important to take into account the ratio of impulsivity-reflexivity for the effective formation of intelligence and the disclosure of the child's potential.
To determine impulsivity-reflexivity, you can pass the following test.
The technique is used to diagnose the impulsive-reflexive cognitive style. This cognitive style, in accordance with the initial assumption of J. Kagan, characterizes individual differences in the tendency to make decisions quickly or slowly. This stylistic property manifests itself most clearly in conditions of uncertainty, when it is required to make the right choice from a certain set of alternatives. Impulsive subjects tend to react quickly in multiple choice situations, with hypotheses being put forward without analyzing all possible alternatives. Reflective subjects are characterized by a slow response rate in such a situation, hypotheses are tested and repeatedly refined, the decision is made on the basis of a thorough preliminary analysis of the features of alternative objects.
The subject is presented with 2 training, then 12 main sheets, on each of which there is an image of a familiar object (reference figure) on top, and 8 almost identical images of the same object are arranged in two rows below, among which only one is completely identical to the reference figure. The subject must find and indicate an image that is completely identical to the reference figure.
“Now you will see one picture and several similar ones. You need to find exactly the same picture in this picture as the one above and show it. For the initial training, you will be shown two demo cards. Further tasks will not be so simple at all. Find a picture as close as possible to this one above as quickly as possible and show it right away.”
Key
Numbers are counted from left to right, top to bottom.
demo 1 - 1; demo 2 - 5;
sheet - 4; steamboat - 7; flower - 1; lamp - 8; bear cub - 4; cat - 1; cowboy - 8; points - 4; chicken - 5; aircraft - 1; scissors - 5; dress - 5.
Indicators of impulsivity / reflectivity:
Reflective individuals are above the median response time and below the median number of errors, while impulsive individuals are below the median response time and above the median number of errors.
On average, about 2/3 of the sample falls on reflective and impulsive subjects, 1/3 - on two special categories of subjects, called "fast / accurate" and "slow / inaccurate".
People with an impulsive style are quick to hypothesize in alternative choice situations, and they make many wrong decisions. For people with a reflective style, on the contrary, a slower pace of decision-making is characteristic, respectively, they make few mistakes due to a thorough preliminary analysis of hypotheses.
Together with the growing up of the child, his intellect develops, - continues Irina Yuryevna, - and by the age of 10 it is possible to determine the type of intellect. H. Gardner singled out eight types of intelligence, having learned which of them prevails in your child, you can gradually direct him to one or another professional area.
Linguistic intelligence- a person uses different language styles to convey information (poet, writer, editor, journalist).
musical intelligence- a person enjoys composing, listening and performing music (music performer, composer).
Logical-mathematical intelligence- a person knows how to explore, thinks in categories, finds relationships between structures through the manipulation of symbols, signs, is prone to ordering actions (mathematician, scientist).
Spatial intelligence- a person is able to perceive objects through images, unfold the picture in the mind, create spatial compositions (architect, engineer, surgeon).
Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence- a person feels the need and is endowed with the ability to move, implements these skills in sports, performing arts, in manual labor (dancer, athlete, mechanic).
interpersonal intelligence- a person is able to notice and understand the needs and desires of other people, to capture the mood of people, to anticipate their behavior (political leader, teacher, psychotherapist, diplomat).
intrapersonal intelligence- a person knows how to manage his feelings, control them, skillfully using them in the transfer and processing of information (for example, a religious leader, philosopher, writer).
Naturalist Intelligence- the ability to explore wildlife and the relationships between its components (biologist, botanist, farmer, livestock breeder, veterinarian).
Taking into account the opinion of I.P. Pavlov that a person is “a system that is developing and self-developing, supporting and even improving itself”, it can be concluded that a person has the potentials of self-regulation, self-development, self-education and self-actualization. Given the temperament, personality type and type of intellect, one should not forget about the important principle of harmony of the bodily, mental and spiritual nature, the psychologist sums up. Unrealized abilities during life can lead a person to illness. It is also important to use the principle of search activity, if, when choosing a profession or favorite business, something no longer satisfies, we are looking for something new. Here the principles of self-actualization come into force - what you need and is important at the moment - and self-realization - the ability to put into practice what you have planned.
For professional self-determination, even at school age, a psychologist should work with a child, but parents can notice many points and direct them in the right direction. The age of professional self-determination is 17-20 years, but even earlier you can not only understand, but feel what you want to do in life. For an adult, the scheme for choosing a profession is the same, it’s enough to remember what you liked to do in childhood, what brought you pleasure and, based on your interests, choose a new or change your old profession.
