Reader on developmental pedagogical psychology. Anthology on developmental psychology. Tutorial. Section I mental development

To paraphrase Montaigne, we can say that in this book I only made a bouquet of other people's flowers, and mine here is just a ribbon that ties them.

Developmental psychology and developmental psychology helped me choose the “color” for this ribbon.

Naturally, the work does not equally reflect all the problems, since I used the author's right to choose from the boundless sea of ​​psychological information what I myself considered the most significant and interesting for my potential readers.

How is a practical reader built?

The workshop is intended for specialists working with the concept of the norm of mental development, and for students studying this concept.

A specialist who uses this concept - a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, a psychologist, a social worker - solves the problems of a particular person. These can be the tasks of setting or clarifying a diagnosis, the tasks of determining the level of readiness of a person for some type of activity (educational, professional, family life, etc.).

The “norm of mental development” is a way of thinking of a researcher or practice about the individual life of a particular person, about the patterns of this life.

This concept itself is based on the concept of life, which is implicit in the way of thinking of any researcher or practitioner. In order for the concept of "norm of mental development" to acquire the content of the concept, and not remain an empty phrase (simulacrum), the researcher must master the phenomenology of mental development. This can be achieved by mastering the existing in psychology methods of analyzing the integrative characteristics of mental reality, which have the most important property, namely, the ability to generate new qualities in it.

The workshop is designed in such a way that in the course of work on assignments and when performing experiments, the reader has the opportunity to "see" the integrative qualities of mental reality. This skill allows you to make more informed decisions about how to obtain psychological information and its content when solving specific problems of a particular person.

It is for this purpose that the selection of scientific texts was carried out, which are presented as an introduction to each chapter. Texts are given in the form of summaries-retellings or as quotations from author's works. One of the tasks is to acquaint the reader with textbook texts in the field of developmental psychology in order to understand modern problems of both scientific, academic and practical psychology.

The most important goal of the workshop-reader is to show the reader the possibilities of methodically solving the issue of the level and norm of the mental development of a particular person.

From the very first pages, I would like to draw the reader's attention to the fact that the personal significance of solving the issue of compliance or non-compliance with a certain norm increases dramatically for a person in those situations where decisions are made responsible for his life. For example, about readiness for some type of activity, about peer review his activities, about the ability of a person to answer for himself.

In modern conditions, when the work of people evaluating the "normative" indicators of the human psyche is becoming increasingly important, their theoretical and methodological level becomes not only a personal matter of professional maturity, but also a socially significant phenomenon - the concretization of the value of various properties of mental reality.

For example, one of the first indicators of a child's readiness for school is the nature of the "internal position of the student." A favorable version of the “internal position” is associated with the orientation of the child to the content aspects of school life: he wants to study (or is studying), because he needs to read, write well, etc. In the statements of these children there is an orientation towards self-education (“I will be able, know, I can and etc.). The unfavorable version of the “internal position of a student” is associated with an orientation towards the formal aspects of school life: he wants to study because they will buy (have) a briefcase, a pencil case; you don’t have to sleep at school, like in kindergarten, etc.

The "internal position of a schoolchild" is one of the integrative characteristics of a child at primary school age, it reflects the qualitative changes in his relationship with other people and with himself. This is due to the emergence of a new form of generalization of one's place among other people. Such integrative formations in the mental reality of a person have been identified and studied to date enough to talk about the existence of prognostic psychodiagnostics and reasonable corrective (if necessary) work of an adult with a child or a mature person with himself (or together with a specialist) to change the parameters of mental reality .

Main questions - what, how and why study to characterize the mental reality of a person - and are discussed in this workshop.

The reader can complete tasks, reproduce classical experiments, compare his data with already known patterns. Perhaps he will have conditions in order to trace the features of changes in the identified characteristics of his subjects over a long time and thereby assess the accuracy of psychological forecasts.

The material presented in the text will allow students studying psychology as a specialty,

know: the main methodological principles of modern developmental psychology, the content of the scientific concept of the norm of mental development;

be able to analyze the content of the concept of the norm of mental development and fix the facts of its manifestation in the mental reality of a person by various methods;

own: psychodiagnostic methods and methods for creating batteries of methods for studying the indicators of normal mental development of a person from the standpoint of the cultural and historical theory of L. S. Vygotsky.

Chapter 1. About what developmental psychology is and why you need to know it

1.1. The concept of the subject of developmental psychology

Today, as I write this chapter, developmental psychology often appears in the list of psychology specialties instead of developmental psychology. This does not at all mean that the reality studied by developmental psychology has disappeared. Just by changing the name, it has become more definite: the subject of research is the indicators and patterns of human mental development in it.

It is they who determine the range of problems that distinguish this sphere of knowledge about a person from the entire volume of various information that has been accumulated in culture about a person and his life.

The specificity of this knowledge is that it is used in one form or another (scientific or everyday) by every person and in this sense is universal, universal knowledge.

Scientific knowledge about the patterns of human mental development becomes when the person receiving it takes a research position - the position of a scientist. The essence of this position is that a person is aware of his own thinking as a means and a way of obtaining psychological information, as a means and a way of generalizing it to obtain patterns and formulate laws.

The research position allows a person to solve the problem of the dependence of the content of the information received on his own thinking. This creates the necessary prerequisites for discussing the criteria for the truth of psychological knowledge, for example, through its universal recognition in science, etc.

The existence of different research schools in science, their historical continuity is possible because they are engaged in the study of the same subject. Today this subject could be described as a psychic reality. Its existence is associated with the presence of such properties and qualities that other realities do not have - physical, chemical, historical, etc. Suffice it to say that even time in this reality is not identical to physical. It is so individual that one and the same physical minute for one person may seem like an eternity, and for another it can go completely unnoticed.
