The
importance of research method in educational process
One of the main requirements of modern higher
school is to ensure high level of preparation of graduates who are able to
solve research problems in the process of studying in the University and in the
conditions of professional activity. This requirement is due to the growing
demand of society for specialists with developed analytical skills and acute
susceptibility and independence of thought. So, in the materials of the Bologna
seminar on employability of bachelors in the labor market, it was noted that
the educational process should encourage the research of students. Despite the modernization
processes in higher education (development and implementation in practice of
the universities of the Federal state educational standard of the 3rd
generation, joining the Bologna process, etc.), the content of education as
reflected in the syllabuses of disciplines is still not designed to produce
graduates with advanced research skills [1, 438].
Pedagogical reality requires constant study, it
is difficult to overestimate the importance of pedagogy for modern society. It
is a science that deals with the education and training of future generations
of those who become direct members of society, those who will participate in
the governance of the country, etc. So it is important to find effective
methods of teaching.
As in any science, pedagogy is constantly
conducting research, including experiments, observations, etc. Their purpose is
the acquisition of new knowledge, confirmation of theories or their refutation.
Gaining knowledge about the pedagogical
validity is always subject to certain rules. Often these rules have evolved
over a long time, because they demanded hard work of many famous teachers. But
since then, they began to split into several main groups [2, 158].
There
are several major groups that share research methods in pedagogy. Their
objective is to know the objective reality. Each science operates its own
research methods, they help to produce new knowledge and move forward. In
pedagogy, there are also such methods, but they are classified differently.
The first group includes traditional
pedagogical methods of research in pedagogy. As the name implies, this includes
all those methods which have been known for a long time and are now modern
science inherited.
Observation has nothing to do with a simple observation, it is
much more subtle scientific process, to which have been assigned specific
tasks, and all obtained data were subjected to deep analysis. Other methods – a
review of experience and products of student work. They will help to answer
many of the issues facing educators and researchers [3, 53-55].
An important way to study, no doubt, is a
pedagogical experiment. This is the sort of experience that can be put in
educational research. Its main feature and difference from other methods is
that it can create and simulate the specific situation faced by the researcher,
whereas other methods only help to capture data. At the heart of any experiment
must lay particular theory or hypothesis. This experience is devoted to obtain
information that will help confirm or refute the theory. This often deprived of
other research methods in professional pedagogy.
The
experiment helps to create conditions that are sometimes impossible to obtain
in the natural environment. This can lead to obtaining a desired result or vice
versa or the results can be negative, but on this basis students must make
conclusions.
Relatively new various tests are also involved
in research methods in pedagogy. The testing started to be applied for
information in 80-90 years of the twentieth century. After receiving positive
results they began to spread around the world and wide used in pedagogy.
Testing helps to make statistical representation of the changes in the academic
performance of the student, about what he has achieved and how it is affected
by this or that system. They help to express qualitative changes in numbers,
which helps to better understand how effective even certain research methods in
pedagogy [4, 26].
Research methods are ways of obtaining reliable knowledge, the
achievement of specific scientific results, the techniques, the procedures of
scientific knowledge. There are methods of pedagogical, scientific and other
methods of science used in teaching.
