Actualization of the Didactic Model of Professional Pedagogical Training of the Teacher

 

The serious attention paid to improving the quality of vocational training as a system of scientific knowledge, skills, cognitive and creative search is not always by far not all universities, so the appeal to the problem of improving the training of highly qualified specialists is justified by the fact that it (vocational training) methodical work of pedagogical universities and departments is translated into an independent field of research, where many sciences find place: pedagogy, psychology, sociology, management ix and others.

Improvement of vocational training of students by higher educational institutions was viewed as a task, in fact, quite traditional, and the scientific and methodical work of universities and the efforts of the departments were directed at its solution. In our early works, relying on the opinions of modern educational researchers, we said: "... to know a complex system means to maintain its system model", which determines as a scientific and practical direction in solving the problems of teacher preparation in pedagogical universities - the creation of didactic model of their preparation [11].

Pedagogical studies of recent years indicate that a model of a specialist, considered from the standpoint of professionalism, can serve as a good model for the precise design of such a model in relation to pedagogical universities. Although in itself, it seems to us (the PBA is a discussion statement), the model of a specialist is not a pedagogical design, but the content of this content, and this is not subject to discussion, lies in the state educational standard, which fixes a specific system of requirements of a particular university to professional qualities graduates [1; 4; 7].

The model in this case is an effective tool for solving pedagogical problems, when it is based on the design and construction of a model for the training of a future specialist. Researchers and practitioners of pedagogy differently imagine this model. For example, it may be some kind of image, a standard that should be implemented in higher education so that the graduate (teacher) meets modern requirements [9].

Combining two types of models (training and activities), this design allows you to create the model of the specialist in the required volume, with bringing it to practical implementation.

In the training model, the requirements for the professional qualities of graduates of the university are projected to the requirements for the organization of the educational process, to the objectives of training, the content of curricula, thematic plans and disciplines, to methods and forms of instruction, indicators and criteria for the effectiveness of teacher training, etc.

In the psychological and pedagogical studies of the last decade, typical problems of the possible activities of specialists, including professional and pedagogical ones, are analyzed. So Professor N.F. Talyzina believes that "... the first step in the transition from the specialist model to the model of its preparation is to identify and fully describe the typical tasks that he must solve in his professional activity" [9; 11].

However, if we prepare students based only on such a model, then in 3-4 years, in our opinion, it will largely become obsolete, and there will be a need for very complex work to identify trends in the changing nature of tasks and build a prognostic model for specialist training. Therefore, it is possible to solve these tasks more qualitatively with the help of a didactic model of teacher training, adapted to the specific conditions of the university. In this situation, we consider it correct to introduce the concept of a didactic model [10].

The didactic model should be understood as a specially created tool for teaching, which is convenient for the teacher's work, serves to implement the didactic functions of the learning process and meets the requirements presented to the concept of "Model". The didactic model should be a reasonable combination of the necessary completeness with ease of use and calculations and as a tool for research and implementation of training should reflect the signs, facts, connections, relationships in a certain area of ​​knowledge in a simple and visual form, convenient and accessible for analysis and conclusions. These requirements do not depend on which model: knowledge, activity, problem or personal.

Practice quite convincingly confirms the thesis that the submitted requirements are contradictory to each other. On the one hand, the unlimited detailing of this model will lead to inevitable complication, which, naturally, makes it difficult, and in some cases even impossible to work with the model, on the other - the desire to simplify the model as much as possible, which will lead to a loss of accounting for a number of important factors that can a significant influence on the pedagogical process.

Pedagogical studies over the past 10-15 years show that, in their tasks, the development of didactic models is an applied research, which is determined by the developer's prearranged goal of training a specific specialist and is always focused on the practical application of the results of professional activity. It is known that the main essential characteristic of modeling and its distinctive feature is mediation, since the researcher, solving the cognitive problem by means of the modeling method, puts among themselves and the studied phenomenon of social reality, for example, professionalism, professional activity of the teacher, substitute object of the original, that is a certain model, the study of which allows us to get a new idea and knowledge about the phenomenon being studied.

In his work "Scientific Approaches to the Design of Technological Models for Teacher Training in Humanitarian Institutions", the author notes that the use of didactic models in testing the hypotheses of a number of modern pedagogical studies has made it possible not only to demonstrate the effectiveness of using certain methods, means and forms of instruction, but also to determine their connections, to reveal the reasons that determine the fulfillment of the tasks of the pedagogical experiment. The model made it possible to more accurately and correctly assess both the strengths and weaknesses of funds in their generalized meaning, specifically and directed to quantitatively qualitative analysis and assessment of the interaction of all components and general results of research [9].

Today, modeling in scientific knowledge has acquired the character of a certain pedagogical system with clearly established characteristics and positions, therefore it acts as a method of scientific research. The development of the model and its use in the cognition or transformation of the object under study are, as we believe, the main aspects of the content of the modeling process [6; etc.]. This process consists of several stages (stages).

In structure, the didactic model includes in a balanced form all the components that make up its structure, therefore, the content of teacher training identified in the model is the main component, and the first closest component is the professional training at the specific (graduating) department.

The external component, as experience shows, simulates the level of general scientific training in the university, which (in general terms) provides for the formation of the personality of the graduate. Integrating over all given levels and directions, it is possible to form a holistic approach to the preparation of students of a pedagogical university, to optimal didactic conditions for its improvement, adequate to the professionally important qualities of the teacher.

From the whole set of factors influencing the definition and selection of the content of general scientific and professional pedagogical training, specific tasks and the goal of education, we distinguish three main:

·        the general objectives of training a teacher in a university;

·        content, structure, logic and integration of general scientific and professional pedagogical disciplines of the university and departments;

·        level of knowledge, skills, skills and development of trainees.

In the last element, the character and level of motivation, the leading attitudes and attitudes of the future teacher's personality to the learning process in a pedagogical college are of particular importance.

The design and development of the didactic model are related to the awareness of each teacher of the institution of the content of these initial factors, with the correlation of their content among themselves, with the support of modern educational technologies, aimed at enhancing the educational and cognitive activity of students, with the structuring of knowledge, skills and abilities in levels: from general to individual professional-pedagogical disciplines.

The scope and content of professional pedagogical goals and tasks is determined by the requirements of the GEF to the level of professionalism and readiness of the student to study at a pedagogical university and follow-up as a teacher. This readiness depends on the level of the formation of subject knowledge, skills and abilities, the development of special competencies and personal qualities of the student, on the level of the formation of general educational knowledge and skills, as well as attitudes toward higher education and future professional activity [7; 8; 12; etc.].

Harmonization of the interests of society, university, as well as personal interests and motives of students' activities determines the following goals and objectives of the organization of a holistic pedagogical process in the university in the framework of the didactic model being developed:

·        to form the personality of the teacher in the course of the educational process of a socially adapted profession;

·        to form creative activity and ensure the development of professionally important personal qualities;

·        Ensure that the graduate of the university is trained at a high subject, pedagogical, humanitarian and methodological level with a wide range of professional opportunities.

In order to ensure the consistency of obtaining, accumulating and increasing the knowledge, practical skills and abilities of students in vocational education in higher education, training stages are included in the curricula and plans [8].

One of the essential features of the educational process created on the basis of the didactic model being developed will, in our opinion, be the indicator of the optimal use of the acquired knowledge of each individual subject in other subjects, which ensures a sustainable assimilation of the content of all subjects and their rational multilateral application in solving theoretical and practical problems.
The symptom of the optimal use of the acquired knowledge, in our opinion, excludes the danger of unrelated parallelism of the studied professional and pedagogical disciplines, which even at the most profound study does not provide "massive" knowledge, but only expresses disparate information about the content of individual subjects and types of education. The didactic model under these conditions makes it possible to determine the place, role and significance of not only the content of the discipline under study, but also of each of its sections, themes and tasks or specific competences
.

Thus, the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature and the practical experience of our work in a pedagogical university allowed us to formulate requirements for the use of didactic models of the learning process. There must be at least three of them:

·        Didactic models should be a way of learning the subjects of the university studied;

·        Didactic models should be an active and effective means of implementing the principle of systemic and visualization;

·        Didactic models should serve to activate cognitive creative activity of students and university teachers.
