Structural Components of Integrative Thinking of a Future Theacher-Musician

Abstract

The presented article identifies the main structural components of the integrative thinking of future teachers of music in the context of integrity and interconnection. Based on the analysis, it was established that the consideration of the integrative thinking of students of higher art institutions is possible only through the study of personal characteristics. It is the personality that significantly influences the thinking processes and gives them a creative coloring, a unique essence. Having a complex multi-level structure, the personality also determines the cognitive and emotional processes, serves as a factor in organizing all elements into a clear integrated formation. When relying on the statement of the position, The author presents the structure of integrative thinking of a future teacher-musician in the following form: The first component is the personal integrative "I" (central personal formation, awareness of one's own original essence). This component can be presented as a central integrative formation, which shows the performer's own significance, originality, and unique essence. The unique formation reflects worldview positions, elements of value analysis, and a harmonious worldview ; The second component is a holistic pedagogical orientation ( motivation, value formation, professional characteristics ). A holistic pedagogical orientation acts as a system-forming element that ensures the harmonious integration of complex motivational formations ; the third component is globalheuristic (global search activity elements, integrative intellectual thinking processes, integrative knowledge, skills, abilities). The presented component shows a fundamental property of integrative thinking – the exploratory nature of integrative thinking activity; the fourth component is musical-performing (synthetic complex of giftedness: creative; musical-performing abilities). This component reflects the abilities of the individual, which are the fundamental basis of the activity of integrative thinking ; the fifth component is complex-reflective (self-knowledge, self-esteem, strong-willed qualities, holistic self-control). The indicated integrative complex includes self-knowledge, which to a high extent enables reflection, which is necessary in the structure of the phenomenon under study. The article also emphasizes that the structural components of the integrative thinking of a teacher-musician are separated conditionally, for the purpose of careful study and analysis. In real integrative thinking activity, the presented components have a holistic character, allow to cover the object (musical work) holistically, to reveal the content of music both originally and from different positions of variant performance.
