Abstract: This paper examines the concepts of "competence" and "aptitude" in the federal state educational standards. The study substantiates the need for returning to the theoretical notions of aptitude, as developed in domestic psychology, when training specialists for creative professions. The authors analyse the content dynamics of the higher education standards in the acting profession across 2002, 2010, 2017 and 2021. The notion of aptitude is considered from the standpoint of S. L. Rubinstein's and A. N.… Show more

Introduction. The continuous updating of pedagogical educational standards impacts the shifts in ideas about the results of training of future teachers. The use of a competency-based approach for this purpose is accompanied by the structuring of the planned results on the basis of general and specific competencies, which formally corresponds to the real structure of pedagogical activity. The purpose of the study is to determine the psychologically substantiated structure of pedagogical competencies, correlated with the subject and psychological level of analysis of the teacher’s activity. Materials and Methods. The study used groups of methods. In order to study the history and the current state of the problem of pedagogical competencies, an analysis of studies on the structure of pedagogical abilities, the psychological structure of the teacher’s activity was used. The substantiation of the demand for a competency-based approach to teacher training was carried out in the course of a comparative analysis of academic performance in subjects and assessments of the formation of competencies of students studying in the direction of “Pedagogical Education”. The sample size was 228 people, including 38 students of the 1st year, 47 students of the 2nd year, 46 students of the 3rd year, 52 students of the 4th year, 45 students of the 5th year. Statistical data processing was carried out using methods of primary descriptive statistics, comparison methods and correlation analysis. Results. During the analysis of the history of development of ideas about the structure of pedagogical activity it was found out that the classifications of pedagogical skills are mainly analytical in nature, reflect individual aspects of pedagogical work and do not reflect the real structure of teacher’s activity. For the modern classification of the results of professional training of a teacher also formal grounds for identification of general and special competences are used. However, in order to substantiate the relevance of the competency-based approach to teaching, the authors propose to use the competency-based structure of pedagogical work based on the ideas of V.D. Shadrikov about the psychological functional system of activity. The advantages of the competence-based structure of teaching over the subject-based one are substantiated not only by the fact that the former corresponds to the real structure of the teacher’s activity, but also by a number of empirical facts: the insensitivity of the subject-based academic performance to changes in professional training (differences in academic performance by courses are statistically insignificant – p 0.05; variability of academic performance data ≤ 10%); statistical significance of differences in the formation of competencies in different courses (p ≤ 0.05); weak correlation between indicators of academic performance and development of competencies (r ≤ 0.18 at p 0.05 in each year). Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study open opportunities for overcoming the contradiction between the competence structure of the professional training of future teachers and the psychological structure of the pedagogical activity of the teacher. The psychological structure of pedagogical competencies, classified on the basis of the content of the teacher’s activity, discussed in the article, allows us to determine the directions of experimental and empirical studies of psychological and pedagogical mechanisms and patterns of development of pedagogical competencies at the stage of professional education.

The task of the study: a comparative analysis of the personal characteristics of student actors of different generations so we can identify vectors of change and invariant personality structures. The study used data from 172 respondents: student-actors, of Russian Institite of Theatre Arts, GITIS, study period 1976-1979 (3rd year, N=14); student-actors, Moscow Theater College, study period 2010-2018 (3rd year, N=91); student-actors, Russian Institite of Theatre Arts, GITIS, study period 2022 (4th year, N=38); student-actors, Institute of Contemporary Art, study period 2023 (3rd year, N=49). We used the Kettell 16 PF questionnaire. We compared mean personality profiles of students who studied in 1976-1979 with student-actors who studied in 2010-2018, 2022, 2023.. Factor analysis was conducted to identify structural features. We revealed trends of changes in the expression of personality characteristics of student-actors who studied in the 1970s compared to those who studied in 2010-2018, 2022, 2023: a decrease in the indicators of the F (expressiveness), M (dreaminess) scales and an increase in the indicators of the H (courage) scale, significance level p≤0.05. Invariant combinations of scales common to all subsamples were described as following: "anxiety - emotional stability", "normativity of behavior - dreaminess", "emotional leadership", "radicalism - diplomacy", "public communication - nonconformism". The study reveals the interpretations of these combinations from the point of view of specifics of professional training and actor's activity.

The article is devoted to the comparison of the results of studies of personality traits of student-actors carried out with the help of the Cattell 16 PF questionnaire during the last 50 years. The results of the studies of 1970—1990s conducted by different authors are given. The analysis of personality traits of modern student-actors is made on the basis of the author's empirical research implemented in 2010—2023. The studies involved students of the Moscow Theater College (2010—2018, N=188), Institute of Contemporary Art (2023, N=48), GITIS (2022-2023, N=67). In all the studies under consideration, the Cattell 16 PF questionnaire was used. The comparative analysis of the factors of the Cattell 16 PF questionnaire, for which the expressed high or low values in the studies of student-actors of different years were noted, showed that the general personality characteristic of student-actors during the last 50 years is emotional sensitivity. It was revealed that student-actors of 1970-1990 showed high scores on factor M “dreaminess” indicating developed imagination and abstract thinking. In modern student-actors this factor is not expressed, they are characterized by aspiration to leadership (factor E), courage (factor H), emotional sensitivity (factor I). The reasons for the identified generational shifts are discussed: changes in the social and political situation, development of technology, growth of competition and change in the characteristics of professional acting. It is concluded that it is necessary to take into account the identified personal characteristics of student-actors in the organization of training at the university.
