The Systemic View of the World: ∫ Logo of General Systems Research

The proposed article analyzes the types of personality and scientific-professional orientation of higher education institutions teachers, characterized by a high level of competence and creative productivity. The relevance of this study stems from the fact that teachers’ scientific and pedagogical activities are connected with their creative developmentandprofessionalself-improvement. Therefore, theobjectives of thearticle are tostudythepersonality and psychological characteristics of the relevant cohort of high school teachers, the leading types of personality orientationandscientificandpedagogicalactivitiesoftheseteachers. Inaddition, animportanttaskofourresearch is to analyze the relevant types in the context of systems research, which allows to deepen the understanding of this scientific problem. With the help of Yu.A. Urmantsev’s general systems theory the systematic correlation of the main categories of pedagogy in the context of the scientific orientation of the teacher is clarified. It is shown that the personality-oriented, subjective orientation of the teacher is realized in the context of the interaction of epistemological and axiological ways of mastering the world by man and humanity. Acmeological orientation is realized in the system-functional plane of interaction of epistemology and praxeology. Creative innovation orientation is realized in the focus of combination of axiological and praxeological ways of mastering the world by a man.
