STRUCTURALLY-SUBSTANTIAL FILLING OF THE MODEL OF FORMATION OF EVALUATIVE COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF THE HIGHER SCHOOL

 

Modern higher education is urged to provide higher education institutions with the qualified teachers who will be able effectively to carry out pedagogically advisory, correctional-diagnostic and, in particular, evaluated activity. Providing the last is possible only on condition of creation of the corresponding preparation of future teachers and formation at them the evaluative competence, which existence will allow effectively and qualitatively to evaluate educational achievements of pupils in the future. Proceeding from it we consider, that for the formation of evaluative competence of future teachers it is expedient to construct the corresponding didactic model.

The model of formation of evaluative competence of future teacher created by us in the course of master preparation represents set of blocks, communications and dependences between them. To the blocks of the model offered by us we refer: target (contains a specific goal, the contents, pedagogical conditions, approaches, the principles, means and component elements of the process of formation of evaluative competence; organizational and substantial (includes stages of realization of the process of formation of evaluative competence); productively-evaluative (make criteria, indicators and levels of the formation of evaluative competence of future teacher of the higher school, and also concrete result).

The purpose of the model assumes the formation of evaluative competence of future teacher of the higher school in the course of master training. Realization of this purpose in educational process of higher education institution will provide further successful implementation by future teachers of evaluative activity and will create for them competitiveness conditions in the market of educational services. At definition of the main content of the model we were guided by data of the test poll made at an ascertaining stage of experiment, on existence of motivation, knowledge and abilities of the undergraduates, connected with evaluative activity. Therefore the main emphasis was placed further on formation at undergraduates of evaluative abilities, mastering of methodology of evaluation of educational achievements by them that in turn, allowed to create at them evaluative motivation, a certain pedagogical orientation, an evaluative position in future teaching activity.

The main pedagogical conditions of formation of evaluated competence of future teacher of the higher school are: strengthening of motivation of future teachers to professional growth in the field of an evaluation of educational achievements; definition and justification of approaches to formation at future teachers of the higher school of evaluated competence; realization of the principles of training in a context of formation of evaluated competence of future teacher; mastering in the course of master training by modern evaluated methods and technologies; system monitoring of state of readiness of undergraduates to implementation of evaluated activity; development and realization of research model and didactic-methodological maintenance of process of formation of evaluated competence.

According to the organizationally-substantial block of the model, to stages of realization of the process of formation of evaluative competence of future teacher of the higher school are carried: analytical, motivational, substantial, organizational and activity, evaluative and productive.

Let's characterize certain stages, considering the purposes, the content of activity, the condition of success and expected results of each of them.

². Analytical stage: 1) the purpose: justification of a technique of the formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates – future teachers of the higher school, 2) the content of activity: analysis of  requirements to the level of formation of evaluative competence of future teachers of the higher school, definition of system of evaluative knowledge and abilities; forecasting of the results of evaluative activity; 3) success conditions: predictive nature of educational process in a magistracy of the higher educational institution; consideration of the effect of evaluative technologies on requirements to the level of evaluative competence of future teachers of the higher school; comprehensive planning of the problems of training and development of undergraduates 4) expected results: professionally oriented tasks of evaluative character; requirements to the level of evaluative competence of future teachers of the higher school.

²². Motivational stage: 1) the purpose: formation of steady interest to evaluative activity in the course of master preparation (studying of special disciplines); awareness of its value in informative and teaching activity; 2) the content of  activity: the analysis of a program material for the evaluation of educational achievements, identification of its informative and motivational potential, development of methodical receptions of its use in educational process; 3) success conditions: the subject - subject interaction in educational process; positive experience of its own evaluative activity of the teacher; 4) expected results: problem tasks for the evaluation of knowledge; interesting plots from evaluation history; data on history of emergence of the first estimates.

²²². Substantial stage: 1) the purpose: definition of the content of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates in the course of master preparation; 2) the content of activity: the analysis and selection of the maintenance of a program and additional material for evaluation; selection and development of problems of evaluative character, development of evaluative tasks for independent work; development of the test tasks for identification of dynamics of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates in the course of master preparation; 3) success conditions: definition of effective structure of a training material and sequence of its assimilation for formation of evaluative competence; 4) expected results: individual research work of undergraduates on an evaluative perspective.

²V. Organizational and activity stage: 1) the purpose: development and approbation of forms and methods of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates in the course of master preparation; 2) the content of activity: organization of educational knowledge of evaluation, creation of individual evaluative problems of various degree of complexity, formation of evaluative abilities of undergraduates; 3) success conditions: expansion of the right of a free choice of types of evaluation of educational achievements; approbation of various forms and evaluation methods; positive experience of evaluative activity of undergraduates in practice; 4) expected results: didactic-methodical complex of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates; scientifically reasonable forms and methods of involvement of undergraduates to evaluation of educational achievements; methodical recommendations about motivation and stimulation of future teachers to participation in evaluative activity.

V. Evaluative and productive stage: 1) the purpose: assessment of the level of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates – future teachers of the higher school; 2) the content of activity: identification of dynamics of the levels of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates in the course of master preparation; identifications of the factors defining positive dynamics of the levels of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates; identification of the reasons and the conditions complicating formation of evaluative competence of future teachers; development of the perspective directions on studying of conditions of the formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates in the course of master preparation; 3) success conditions: existence of evaluative tools, accounting of the features of individual evaluative experience of undergraduates; 4) expected results: technique of an evaluation of the received results; recommendations about improvement of model of formation of evaluative competence of undergraduates in the course of master preparation.

The realization of our model of the formation of evaluative competence of future teacher of the higher school in the course of master preparation is carried out on the condition of introduction in educational process of undergraduates of the corresponding didactic-methodical complex – the training special course «Preparation of Future Teacher for Evaluative Activity» and the manual «Evaluative Competence of Future Teacher of the Higher School». The special training course is calculated for 36 hours, of which 10 hours - lectures, 8 hours – seminars, 12 hours – independent work, 6 hours – individual lessons. Structurally the special course shares on three substantial modules and provides performance by the undergraduate of an individual research task, and also control test tasks for check and fixing of knowledge of rather acquired evaluative skills and abilities. The contents of the manual «Evaluative Competence of the Teacher of the Higher School» consist of three sections in which are reflected theoretical and practical experiences of evaluative activity of the modern teacher of the higher school. Besides, it has the test tasks for check of a condition of the formation of evaluative competence of future teachers, the terminological dictionary and the list of scientific sources on studied perspective.

Summing up, we should note that: 1) the preparation of future teacher of the higher school for evaluative activity is now one of the priority problems of higher education and readiness of future teacher of the higher school to evaluation of educational achievements we understand as acquisition of a certain level of evaluative competence; 2) the author's model proposed for consideration is the instrument of the formation of evaluative competence of future teachers of the higher school, set of the interconnected components, each of which is directed on achievement of a specific goal – formation of evaluative competence of future teacher of the higher school; 3) the efficiency of the model depends on observance of certain pedagogical conditions and realization of all stages of process of the formation of evaluative competence; 4) the model is open, constantly develops and, if necessary, can be added with new components.
