Keyword: «overcoming value neutrality»

The relevance of the article is due to the problems of modern pedagogical reality: the loss of interest in the study of pedagogical disciplines in universities that are not related to the training of professional teachers. Long-term experience of practical pedagogical activity in the universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia allows the author to talk about the loss of students' interest in the study of pedagogical disciplines. The author sees the need to overcome value neutrality in the study of pedagogical disciplines, which will activate the subjective position in the educational process, form positive motives in educational and cognitive activity and make the learning process personally significant for the student. The main purpose of the article is to make a theoretical analysis of works on the research problem and the wish to show the importance of referring to a literary text in the process of studying pedagogical disciplines. It is also important to refer to the works reflecting the relationship between the teacher and the student, to the peculiarities of their behavior, to the pedagogical techniques and methods used by the teacher, to his individual skill, speech, ways of solving pedagogical problems. All this does not always correspond to the methods and ways of solving pedagogical problems described in textbooks on pedagogy, but, according to the author, it is necessary and relevant in modern conditions. Based on the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, the necessity of developing a new concept of artistic and figurative cognition of pedagogical reality is shown and the experience of working with a literary text is presented. The methodological basis of our research is the work of domestic and foreign authors on the problem of pedagogical hermeneutics and pedagogy of the text. To achieve the purpose of the article, we used theoretical methods (analysis of publications on research problems) and empirical methods (the author's experience of working with a literary text when teaching pedagogical disciplines). A number of conclusions are formulated about the need to develop methods, techniques and tools in the practice of teaching that form interest in pedagogical disciplines within vocational education. The proposed literary texts, which present characters of teachers, and most importantly, complex pedagogical situations, can be used in the process of teaching pedagogical disciplines in order to overcome the value neutrality of the student's personality and the formation of an artistic and vivid perception of reality.
