One of the tools is the modelling of the structure of professionally significant concepts based on the results of a free associative experiment. The purpose of the research: to reconstruct the “teacher” concept in the consciousness of future primary school teachers based on the survey of informants – students of the Faculty of Psychological, Pedagogical and Special Education.
