Research of the basic conditions of the teacher's acmeological position

The article considers the concept «acmeological position» as a factor of personal and professional development of teachers in the conditions of modernization of education. Acmeological position of the teacher is characterized by steady aspiration for high achievements in professional activity, for self-improvement, self-development and self-reformation, for self-actualization of creativity and vitality. It is emphasized that acmeological position of the teacher is manifested in their subjectivity (personal activity), adaptation (the ability to use the conditions of the surrounding reality for personal development), for realization of their potential in the society, self-realization, readiness for further improvement of professional activities and orientation on high achievements in this activity. The indicators of the teacher's acmeological position are marked: relation to professional activities (the values of life, the activity in spheres of life, satisfaction with their professional activities); attitude to innovations (life orientation - the level of meaningfulness of life, the level of life purposes, intensity of life, professional perspective); motivation of achievement (locus of control, the level of personal claims and self-development ability). There are levels of development of the teacher's acmeological position (basic, higher, highest) and their characteristics. The research of the basic conditions of the existence of the teacher's acmeological position is analyzed. The result of the comparative analysis of two groups of teachers (teachers with acmeological position and teachers without acmeological position) for all the selected indexes shows there is quite a visible difference between these two groups of teachers. For the justification of statistical reliability of differences and determination of the relations between the studied indicators Pearson's criterion of assent (C2, Chi-square) is used. From the obtained results a conclusion is made that there are basic conditions of the existence of the teacher's acmeological position: 1) lack of professional exhaustion, 2) reflection of their own professional challenges, 3) active search of tactics and strategies to overcome them.
