Innovative pedagogical technology: the key to the development of modern higher education

The development is an integral part of any human activity. Accumulating experience, improving methods and ways of action, extending our mental capabilities, we are also constantly developing.

The labor market determines the need for qualified professionals with a high level of competence. This leads to the need to improve and generate new educational content, in fact, to determine the algorithm of innovative style of activities.

This algorithm is applied to any human activity, including pedagogical. At different stages of development, the society needed more new standards, requirements for labor. This necessitated the development of educational system.

Science, like every industry has its ups and downs. In recent decades, the quality of education of our country has significantly deteriorated and the level of education nationwide has decreased. Reasons are: the nonaccordance of the structure of specialist training in the real needs of the economy, reducing of the quality of education, corruption in higher education, isolation from scientific research, the slow pace of integration into the European and global intellectual space.

As for the current state and dynamics of the quality of Ukrainian education in general and higher education in particular, there are many different, often conflicting assessments.

After becoming an independent state, Ukraine inherited the previous reforms. The education sector was no exception. On one hand, at one time, this system was sufficiently developed in the component of fundamental and natural, technical, medical, pedagogical, military training, and on the other hand – it was extremely insensitive to changes, narrow specialized, had excessive ideologization of the educational process, narrowed principles of democracy. Also, there was the destruction of professional and technical education, lack of qualified staff work specialties, impossibility for many graduates to find jobs in their field, the inflation of educational and professional standards, excessive burden on teachers and inadequate funding of universities, the increase of the level of corruption in universities etc.

The development of Ukrainian education system should be in the direction of building a single European space and to keep up with the advanced countries of Western Europe.

Therefore, one way to modernize the education system in Ukraine is the introduction of the learning process of innovative pedagogical techniques and methods.

  The reform strategy should be selected as creation of a new system of education that would provide each person getting knowledge and constantly replenished throughout its active life – a system of continuous education.

The reforms of education should involve all levels of the education system – its structure, content, teacher training, management, financing etc. After all, for the effective implementation of these important issues, you need to update based on actual world trends in education in the broader social and economic context.

Urgent is also restructuring of the educational process downward classroom learning and increase student self-study and individual work. At the same time it requires substantial adjustments of essence, content and technology of teaching. What is happening to us under the banner of innovation in the form of a distance or correspondence learning, sometimes already proven correspondence, discredits our higher education, reduces its quality and authority both in Ukraine and abroad.

Therefore, in order to the possibility of Ukrainian higher education truly to develop we immediately need to make changes to its reforms.

  Today in Ukraine the promotion of innovative movement promotes the formation authorial schools of innovative type. Their activities are focused on the formation of new, alternative concepts and educational systems.

As Mykhaylo Zgurovsky, rector of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" noted in his article "... at the beginning of the third decade of independence understanding of the public has come, that the current Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education" exhausted its regulatory and reformative resource and does not meet the requirements of time and international standards. There is an urgent need for reorientation of the national system of higher education and research for the preparation of such human capital, which provides innovative development of the country through close cooperation between higher education, science, business and government. At the time exist the expansion of university autonomy in line with European standards, the introduction in Ukrainian higher education European system of academic work of students (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), the strengthening of management of higher education and the labor market, the establishing the principle of equality of all universities and their ownership faculty members, the improving of social insurance of teachers and students, the expanding the access for young people to higher education regardless of social or financial status, the combating of corruption in higher education and other advanced European standards".

Rapid changes in the information of society intensified the need to update information and educational environment.

Modernization of education system is associated primarily with the introduction of innovative technologies educational environment, based on a holistic model of the educational process, based on the dialectical unity of methodology and means of implementation. Since educational innovation activities should enhance of the competitiveness of high school graduates, achieving better development of our society, is the main task of higher education is the quality preparation of highly qualified specialists in accordance with innovative technology to the next activity.
