Initially, it should be mentioned that the concept of culture in itself is historical and social. Initially, the word "culture" had Latin roots and denoted the cultivation of the land, later this word began to be associated with education, development and veneration. At its core, culture assumes the presence of certain knowledge, skills and abilities of certain groups of society, and is constantly changing over time. The concept of professional culture is based on individual characteristics of a person associated with different types of labor. The level of ownership is determined by the presence of various qualifications. There are only two main areas: real and formal. The development of a person’s professional culture develops in him a personal value system throughout his evolution. Consideration of the structure of professional culture is possible only in general terms. A more detailed study should be exclusively in the context of a particular profession, as well as its possible specialization.
Lack of qualified specialists
Highly qualified specialists are needed always and everywhere. Unfortunately, our lag in many areas is due to the fact that there are really not enough professionals. Today, this deficit is felt more and more acutely. When it comes to the professionalism of a person, first of all, it implies his professional culture and the ability to master a variety of technologies.
Competence is based on technological training and a number of other components. Initially, these are personal qualities such as independence, the ability to make serious decisions, a creative approach to the entire work process, the ability to bring things to the end, the desire to learn and update their knowledge. The ability to conduct dialogue, sociability, cooperation and much more. Along with this, a professional culture, upon closer examination, is often combined with parallel cultures.
The value of social culture for society
Social culture is quite closely connected with the previous culture. Like any other, it consists of two generators: internal (real) and external (formal) parts. Real culture is the skills, knowledge and feelings that are the foundation of every person’s life. These include: development of intelligence, education, morality and training. Formal culture is the sociable behavior of a person in society and communication with other people. External and formal cultures in some cases may be completely unrelated, and sometimes even contradict each other.
Adaptation of social culture
The most important function of culture is adaptation. It provides a person with adaptation to the natural and social environment. The process of human adaptation is fundamentally different from the adaptation mechanism in the process of biological evolution. He does not adapt to environmental changes, but adapts it to himself, organizing his own new environment. As social culture develops, society organizes ever-increasing reliability and comfort, and increases labor productivity. Culture allows personal disclosure of a person to the full.
Social culture is not biologically inherited by a person, but at the genetic level, he can get some prerequisites for its development. Only with the mastery of social experience, knowledge, norms of behavior in society and its social role, the subject becomes a full member of society. The process of personal development allows each person to take their own position and live as prescribed by traditions and customs.
Multilevel complex of pedagogical culture
The teacher is the first example of social culture in the student’s life. The advantage of arranging the teacher’s professional culture and his work is the intention to educate the student in a holistic personality, which is characterized by a sense of responsibility, independence, dynamism and activity in decision-making.
From time immemorial, the methodology of professional education has contributed to the harmonious development of man, however, the specifics of raising individual qualities are most often dictated by the country's social status and time. Such a concept as a teacher’s professional culture is often used as synonyms, like a pedagogical culture or teacher’s competence. Professional-pedagogical culture consists of three leading components: axiological, technological and subjective-creative.
Axiom of pedagogical values
The axiological component is a set of pedagogical values ​​that are understood and perceived by the teacher throughout his professional practice and life. The work of the teacher is always closely interconnected with constant research. Based on this, the formation of a teacher’s professional culture is justified by a set of personal values ​​and the ability to determine new ones. In pedagogical culture, a system of independent values ​​has formed that determines the degree of mastery and development of a teacher, depending on their understanding of these values.
Technology of pedagogical activity
The technological component is the process of regulating all pedagogical problems. In connection with the development of pedagogy, the theoretical side of the issue needs practical research to study many hypotheses and theories. Unfortunately, theoretical and practical activities differ significantly in processes such as training and education.
The technology of pedagogical activity must necessarily have a systemically organized target character, which is the main basis for creating the technology itself. The structure of this technology is built on the principle of a step-by-step solution of issues of pedagogical assessment, organization, planning and adjustment. Pedagogical technology is the implementation of methods and methods for managing the educational process in any educational institution.
The teacher is a creative person
The subjectively creative component is the teacher’s personal ability to creatively implement the technologies of pedagogical development. In this case, the teacher is obliged to rely on theory, to be in a constant search for the best solutions. The professional and pedagogical culture is additionally based on practical activities in which the teacher must contribute, enriching it with new methods and techniques. The teacher’s creative thinking creates a complex combination in such mental areas as emotional, motivational, cognitive and volitional.
Professional activity of a specialist
Currently, people who work well in a certain area for a long time do not have a sufficient level of professionalism. The individual potential of such employees is not aimed at development, but at adaptation. The formation of a specialist is a multifaceted process in which a person goes through certain crisis lines, after which he moves to a new level or returns to his previous professional tasks.
The culture of a person’s professional activity is directly related to the development of integrity, morality, humanism and the ability to improve oneself in work. Everyone is obliged to decide on a profession in order to become a true professional. By the definition of “profession” is meant a direction in professional activity that requires specific training, and is also the basis of material well-being.
