The processes of digital transformation of all the spheres of life activities in the modern society and implementation of emergency distance learning in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic cause new challenges in future teachers’ professional training. One of them is to develop skills to learn life long and conduct effective professional self-development. The purpose of the paper is to theoretically analyse the content and the structure of mass open online courses that can be used in the professional training of future primary school teachers of English, which contribute to developing their digital and methodological competences. For achieving the purpose set, we use a number of theoretical research methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalisation, etc.). Based on the analysis of MOOC platforms, which are available at the national and international Internet market of educational services, it is found out that Coursera, Prometeus, EdEra are the most popular among educators. It is highlighted that all the courses, developed on MOOC platforms, have the similar structure that include such components: interactive video lectures, learning resources, online tests, forum for discussing different questions. It is noted that MOOC courses are getting commercialised and only some of them give an opportunity to participate in them as listeners without getting certificates. However, MOOC courses have a great potential for developing future teachers’ digital competence, communicative and collaborative skills by using information and communication technologies, improving some aspects of professional and methodological competence. It is proved that an optimal way of implementing MOOC courses in professional training of future primary school teachers’ professional training is to combine them with traditional distance learning within university LMS courses or with traditional methods and forms of offline learning.

Организация профессиональной подготовки студентов в вузе ориентирована на социальные запросы общества и обусловлена теми требованиями, которые предъявляются к учителю начальных классов. В рамках профессиональной подготовки акцент делается на ее методическую составляющую, в основе которой – вовлечение будущего учителя в процесс построения собственного образования, осознанное отношение к овладению профессией. Целью исследования является рассмотрение такого способа вовлечения будущих учителей начальных классов в процесс собственной методической подготовки, как совместное проектирование урока. В качестве материалов изучения были использованы работы, посвященные рассмотрению вопросов организации профессиональной подготовки будущих учителей и их дальнейшей профессиональной деятельности. На базе Алтайского государственного педагогического университета был проведен опрос студентов «Моя методическая подготовка», который позволил определить понимание будущими учителями начальных классов собственной подготовки и своей роли в ней. Результаты анализа проведенного опроса показали, что наибольшую значимость студенты придают разработке уроков, при этом для них важно быть включенными в эту деятельность, а не просто получить методическую информацию. На основе полученных данных, а также с учетом специфики организации совместной деятельности в процессе методической подготовки будущих учителей начальных классов были разработаны и реализованы различные варианты совместного проектирования уроков в рамках дисциплины «Методика обучения русскому языку и литературному чтению»: совместное проектирование с преподавателем, совместное проектирование в парах и совместное проектирование в группах. Подробно рассмотрен вариант совместного проектирования в парах на примере организации деятельностной игры «Совместное проектирование: разработчик и эксперт». Участники игры в течение нескольких недель взаимодействовали друг с другом, создавая, анализируя и корректируя конспект урока. Совместное проектирование уроков позволяет вовлечь будущих учителей в процесс собственной методической подготовки, сделав его более осознанным, рефлексивным и методически открытым. The organization of professional training of students at the university is focused on the social needs of society and is conditioned by the requirements that are imposed on the primary school teacher. Within the framework of professional training, the emphasis is on its methodological component, which is based on the involvement of the future teacher in the process of building their own education, a conscious attitude towards mastering the profession. The goal is to consider such a way of involving future primary school teachers in the process of their own methodological preparation, as a joint lesson design. As materials for the study, we used works devoted to the consideration of the organization of professional training of future teachers and their further professional activities. On the basis of the Altai State Pedagogical University, a survey of students “My methodical training” was conducted, which made it possible to determine the understanding of future primary school teachers of their own training and their role in it. The results of the analysis of the survey showed that students attach the greatest importance to the development of lessons, while it is important for them to be involved in this activity, and not just to receive methodological information. Based on the data obtained, as well as taking into account the specifics of the organization of joint activities in the process of methodological training of future primary school teachers, various options for joint design of lessons were developed and implemented within the discipline “Methods of teaching the Russian language and literary reading”: joint design with a teacher, joint design in pairs and collaborative design in groups. This article discusses in detail the option of joint design in pairs – on the example of organizing the activity game “Joint design: developer and expert”. The participants of the game interacted with each other for several weeks, creating, analyzing and correcting the outline of the lesson. Collaborative design of lessons allows future teachers to be involved in the process of their own methodological preparation, making it more conscious, reflective and methodically open.
