CASE-METHOD AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR REFLECTION DEVELOPMENT

The publication reveals and experimentally confirms key opportunities of using a case method for developing reflection, which include: organization of personal experience awareness and learning new subject identifications, identities, and positions. It is shown that the process of developing reflection is unfolding through the organization of decentration, reconstruction, subjectivation, objectification and approbation of new experience. Two versions of reflection development (toward self-development (reflection of the reflection) and toward system informa tion processing) received experimental confirmation. It was determined that due to organized work with the case, a reflection tendency toward distortions, characteristic of youthful age, was significantly changed toward the subject's true representation of his reflection. The diagnostic, developmental and control characteristics of the matrix reflexive form, which represents the modal-intentional model of reflection, were indicated.
