Once, the great Cicero said, "Before you about something argue, agree on the meaning of words ...".Perhaps this is an expression of the wise Roman as well as possible in an allegorical sense, reflects the meaning of the concept of "social perception".Indeed, everyone understands that effective interaction between people can be carried out only if it is in the nature of understanding.The fact that the interaction of different reasons both objective and subjective, can be construed participants in this act of interaction is ambiguous.
Linked to this ambiguity so that the interaction between the actors, there are different expectations on the course and result of interaction with other individuals, other settings, each actor in its relations with the external social environment guided by different value systems and criteria.
However, when all the differences in these factors in interactions there is one parameter, which is a common objective for all participants in the process of interaction - it is a process and the process of perception of each other.It is objectively required in the structure of communication and is characterized by the concept of social perception.
should, however, clarify this point, that the use of this category did not accurately and fully reflects the content side of communication between people.The scientific revolution, the term was introduced by J.. Bruner in 1947, and entered into the psychology together with the theory of «New Look» - a new look at the problem of communication, interaction and perception of other people.Within this paradigm of social perception is revealed only determining aspects of human relations.
then look at the contents of this category expanded by some perception began to view the whole process of perception of social objects to each other.This broad interpretation was the fact that under the social object is understood not a person, has a whole set of elements of the social structure of society: social groups, community, and even society as a whole, when it came to the type of "man -society. "Modern psychological science in such an interpretation of the concept of considering the social perception.
full-scale review of the contents of this search and create very complex picture of the mechanism of perception of social objects to each other in the course of their interactions.This mechanism includes the actual person who is able to perceive the other, the other person reacts to the first.This mechanism is complemented by properties of the interaction of actors who these individuals are both characteristics of social groups to which they belong.Finally, an important element of this mechanism acts as a situational component - specific conditions and circumstances of time and place in which the interaction.
even more complicated in structure and content in favor of socio-pedagogical perception, which involves the incorporation of a number of special, new significant factors determining the perception.It's like professional orientation, especially educational activities as a factor in the overall socialization of the individual, competence and others.Therefore, teaching social perception is understood as the ability of the teacher, the teacher (in the broadest sense of the word), to see the inner world of the child, the student, by means of empathy, ie the ability to "live" the vicissitudes of its formation, together with him.
effectiveness of this approach is usually determined by the degree of development of interest to the problems that concern educability.And because "quality" of the perceptual component of pedagogical activity depends on two components: the ability of the teacher, on the one hand, and the abilities of the student, on the other.
