PEDAGOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR DEVELOPING AUTOPEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE IN PROSPECTIVE FINE ARTS TEACHERS

Abstract

This article analyzes the pedagogical and psychological foundations for developing autopedagogical competence in prospective fine arts teachers. It highlights the importance of self-awareness, analysis of one’s own activity, independent learning, creative inquiry, and continuous professional self-improvement in the process of professional training. The relationship between psychological processes characteristic of fine arts education-attention, perception, memory, thinking, and imagination-and students’ creative activity and reflective development is also examined. The potential of the History of Fine Arts course to broaden art- historical knowledge, enrich artistic and aesthetic perspectives, and support the independent professional development of future teachers is substantiated.
