DEVELOPMENT OF REFLECTION IN DOCTORS OF PHILOSOPHY AS SUBJECTS OF COMMU- NICATIVE INTERACTION by Lavnikov Oleh

“…It is argued that each reflective act can be represented as a sequence of certain stages that reflect the corresponding components of reflectivity, presented as incidental or special abilities: detachment as the ability to distance oneself from the situation (the ability to stop, not to allow only emotional reactions); positive dissociation as the ability to see oneself from the outside; gnostic competence as a set of knowledge that corresponds to a problem situation; articulateness as the ability to quickly actualize the fragments of knowledge most adequate to the problem situation; lability as the ability to build alternative hypotheses (when each proposed solution is accepted as one of the possible ones); originality as the ability to find non- standard solutions, and to act in a non-stereotypical way; criticality as the ability to rationally predict the degree of various options for solving the problem; and cognitivity as the cognitive component that prevails in the adopted solution in relation to the problem situation. …”
