INNOVATIVE METHODS OF TRAINING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

 

Now educational process demands continuous improvement as there is a change of priorities and social values. Therefore the modern situation in training of specialists demands a basic change of strategy and training tactics in higher education institution. The main characteristics of the graduate of any educational institution are his competence and mobility. In this regard accents when studying subject matters are transferred to process of the knowledge which efficiency completely depends on informative activity of the student. Success of achievement of this purpose depends not only that is acquired (the content of training), but also how it is acquired: individually or collectively, in authoritative or humanistic conditions, with a support on attention, perception, memory or on all personal potential of the person, by means of reproductive or active methods of training.

The most successful methods in assimilation by students of knowledge belongs to active methods of training. There are imitating and not imitating forms of the organization of training with use of active methods of training. We will consider the characteristic of not imitating methods: lectures, seminars, discussions, collective cogitative activity.

I. Lectures. 1. Lectures - a nonconventional form of carrying out. Problem lecture begins with questions of statement of a problem which during a statement of a material needs to be solved. Problem questions differ from not problem that the problem hidden in them demands not the same decision, that is, the ready scheme of the decision in last experience isn't present. Problem lectures provide creative assimilation by future experts of the principles and regularities of studied science, stirs up educational cognitive activity of students, their independent classroom and out-of-class work, assimilation of knowledge and their application in practice.

2. Lecture - visualization. This type of lecture is result of new use of the principle of presentation, the content of this principle changes under the influence of given psychology and pedagogical science, forms and methods of active training. Lecture - visualization teaches students to transform oral and written information to a visual form that forms at them professional thinking due to systematization and allocation of the most significant, essential elements of the content of training.

3. Lecture with in advance planned mistakes. This form of carrying out lecture was developed for development in students of abilities quickly to analyze professional situations, to act as experts, opponents, reviewers, to isolate incorrect or inexact information. The teacher carries out a lecture statement so that mistakes were carefully hidden, and not so easily students could notice them. It demands special work of the teacher on the content of lecture, high level of proficiency in a material and lecturing skill. The task of students consists in that on a course of lecture to note the noticed mistakes in the abstract and to call them at the end of lecture.

4. Lecture conversation. Lecture conversation, or "dialogue with audience", is the most widespread and rather simple form of active involvement of students in educational process. This lecture assumes direct contact of the teacher with audience. Advantage of lecture conversation consists that it allows to draw attention of students to the most important questions of a subject.

5. Lecture discussion. Unlike lecture conversation here the teacher at a statement of a lecture material not only uses answers of students to the questions, but also will organize a free exchange of opinions in intervals between logical sections. It recovers educational process, stirs up cognitive activity of audience and that is very important, allows the teacher to operate collective opinion of group, to use it for belief, overcoming of negative installations and wrong opinions of some students. The effect is reached only at the correct selection of questions for discussion and skillful, purposeful management by it.

6. Lecture with analysis of concrete situations. This lecture on a form is similar to lecture discussion, however, for discussion the teacher raises not questions, and a concrete situation. Usually, such situation is represented orally or in very short video, the filmstrip. Therefore its statement has to be very short, but contain sufficient information for an assessment of the characteristic phenomenon and discussion.

II. Method of «a round table». This group of methods includes: different types of seminars and discussions. At the heart of this method the principle of collective discussion of the problems studied in an education system lies. The main goal of such occupations consists in providing to students possibility of practical use of theoretical knowledge in the conditions, modeling forms of activity of scientists.

1. Educational seminars. Interdisciplinary seminar. The subject which needs to be considered in various aspects is submitted for occupations: political, economic, scientific and technical, legal, moral and psychological. On nudely experts corresponding to a profession and teachers of these disciplines also can be invited. Between students tasks for preparation of messages on a subject are distributed. The method of an interdisciplinary seminar allows to broaden horizons of students, accustoms to a complex assessment of problems, to see intersubject communications. Problem seminar. Before studying of the section of a course the teacher suggests to discuss the problems connected with the contents of this section, a subject. The day before students receive a task to select, formulate and explain problems. During a seminar in the conditions of group discussion discussion of problems is carried out. The method of a problem seminar allows to reveal level of knowledge of students in the field and to create resistant interest to the studied section of a training course. Thematic seminar. This type of a seminar prepares and carried out for the purpose of emphasis of attention of students on any hot topic or on the most important and its essential aspects. Orientation seminar. New aspects of known subjects or ways of the solution of already put and studied problems, the materials published officially, decrees, directives, etc. become a subject of these seminars. System seminar. It is carried out for deeper acquaintance to different problems to which the studied subject has direct or indirect relation.

1. Educational discussions. They can be carried out: on materials of lectures; following the results of a practical training; on problems, prepositional students, or the teacher if students are at a loss; on events and the facts from practice of a studied field of activity; according to publications in the press.

2. Educational meetings at «a round table». When using this method it is possible to invite various experts engaged in studying or working on a subject studied by students. It can be scientists, economists, representatives of public organizations, government bodies, etc.

The main task of a higher educational institution at the present stage is the training of specialists, capable unconventionally, flexibly and in due time to react to changes which happen in the world. Therefore for training of students for professional activity in the future innovative methods of training in higher education institution also are used.

To such methods the problem training providing formation of skills for the solution of problem tasks which have no definite answer, independent work on a material and development of abilities to put the found knowledge into practice belongs. Also innovative methods of training provide interactive training. It is directed on active and deep assimilation of a studied material, development of ability to solve complex problems. Interactive kinds of activity include imitating and role-playing games, the discussions modeling situations.

One of modern methods is training through cooperation. It is used for work in small groups. This method puts the task effective assimilation of a training material, development of ability to perceive the different points of view, ability to cooperate and solve the conflicts in the course of collaboration. Innovative methods allowed to change and a role of the teacher who is not only the knowledge carrier, but also the mentor initiating creative searches of students.
