Organizational and Methodological Support of Teaching Practice in Primary School Teachers within the Framework of Modernisation of Teacher Education
This paper presents results of testing of the methodological and organisational support of teaching practice for future primary school teachers developed by the authors within the project “Modernisation of Pedagogical Education”, particularly in the module aimed at the formation of work functions defined the Professional Standard for Teachers.Currently, the teaching practice provided by the universities is not sufficient to make students capable of carrying out these work functions.This condition has shaped the main goal of the research: promote the orientation in the profession of primary school teacher in students and assist them in developing motivational and volitional readiness for pedagogical activity.The project involved 54 undergraduate students of bachelor’s programme in “Psychological and Pedagogical Education”.The basic research methods were observations of students during their teaching practice and analysis of reports submitted by students and their supervisors.The authors propose methodological materials and define organizational mechanisms for providing effective teaching practice in the context of network interaction.It is argued that the outcomes of the research prove that the goals of the project were attained successfully.
