METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES AND PRINCIPLES OF PROFESSIONAL REFLECTION FORMATION IN FUTURE CHOREOGRAPHIC COLLECTIVE LEADERS

Abstract

Introduction. Contemporary challenges in choreographic education require rethinking approaches to developing reflective competence in future leaders of creative collectives. In this context, professional requirements for these specialists are rapidly growing, particularly regarding reflective competence, self-analysis capacity, and professional self-improvement abilities. Leaders of choreographic ensembles play a crucial role in artistic development at both local and national levels. Current problems in professional reflection development include insufficient self-analysis skills, difficulties in objective self-assessment, and limited ability to critically evaluate pedagogical situations. The aim of the article is to theoretically substantiate a system of methodological approaches and principles for developing professional reflection among future choreographic leaders during their training.Scientific novelty. This study systematizes methodological foundations for professional reflection development as a multifaceted pedagogical phenomenon through a three-level structure: philosophical level (dialogical, phenomenological, hermeneutical approaches), general scientific level (systemic, synergetic, axiological approaches), and specific scientific level (personal-activity, competence-based, culturological, acmeological approaches). The research systematizes principles of professional reflection development into three groups, adapting them to choreographic education specifics while considering contemporary challenges in professional training.Conclusions. The research findings contribute to establishing a comprehensive methodological framework for developing professional reflective abilities in future choreographic ensemble leaders. Identifying key approaches and principles of professional reflection formation will facilitate the creation of effective educational programs and promote conscious professional attitudes.
