The article reveals the essence and significance of project technology in the teaching of natural sciences in the New Ukrainian school, actualizes the problem of training future teachers to use project technology in the teaching of natural sciences. It is determined that the project method is a learning technology focused not on the integration of factual knowledge, but on their use and acquisition of new knowledge and skills (sometimes through self-education) in the process of performing practical tasks. The article describes the features of projects and their types. Emphasis is placed on educational projects provided by the school curriculum in natural subjects (physics, chemistry, biology). It has been found that the features of project technology are action-oriented, teamwork, self-organization of students, situational orientation, correlation with real life, reliance on previous achievements of each student, their existing experience, interdisciplinary, integrity, focus on the finished product, and a certain result. The main stages of project implementation in general secondary education institutions are analyzed (initiation, work planning, project implementation, project presentation, project reflection, evaluation of results). The advantages of project technology are established: stimulation of students’ independent activity, improvement of information retrieval skills, intensification of research and creative activity of schoolchildren, provision of students’ need for self-realization and self-development, the practical significance of work results, a real result. Sciences allow them not only to acquire new knowledge, to understand the interdisciplinary links in science education, to improve design skills, but also to learn to methodically organize the project activities of pupils and perform interdisciplinary learning projects. That is, the preparation of future science teachers for the application of project technology in professional activities is a mandatory component of their professional training in a higher education institution.

The reforming of school natural science education is part of the process aimed at updating educational systems, which has a general European tendency. The content orientation of the field representing natural sciences of general secondary education towards the formation of core competences and effective mechanisms of their introduction causes intensive changes in the training process intended for the future science teachers of the new formation. The component of natural education is biological education which is realized by studying Biology as a school course. Since natural knowledge in the process of external interaction purposefully influence the formation of schoolchildren’s natural outlook, this is the social order that determines the content of biological education and the potential within the education of a certain type of personality. Therefore, the new formats of biological education in the context of the New Ukrainian School are aimed at forming schoolchildren’s motivation for educational and cognitive activities, life competencies, and an active life position. The driving force facilitating the realization of innovations in biological education is a competent teacher as a subject of an innovative educational activity. In this case, the priority way in the professional training of future science teachers is the shift of emphasis from the amount of knowledge to the development of pedagogical interaction skills. This is the ability of the future specialist to work in a team, to negotiate, to make prudent decisions that makes him / her competitive. The basic condition for such an activity is the professional potential of the future teacher which manifests itself in his / her readiness for creative interaction with schoolchildren. The transfer of the study of Biology into the plane of the competence-based educational environment focuses educators’ attention on the person-centred approach to learning. The relationship between the teacher and the schoolchildren should be collaborative, in the course of which schoolchildren become not only the objects of influence, but also become participants of a joint activity. According to these approaches to teaching Biology, the interaction of the subjects of the educational process acquires organized forms of cooperation, the specific characteristic of which is the complementarity of the schoolchild and the teacher. The obviousness of the dialogical educational interaction contributes to the introduction of the elements of teachers’ / students’ creativity into the pedagogical process and motivates them to intellectual growth. Subjectivity as a paradigmatic feature of biology education lies in the pedagogical position of the teacher, since it is profession-oriented and determines the personalization of pedagogical interaction. Therefore, the subjective factor of the pedagogical activity of future teachers of natural sciences becomes a kind of trajectory of self-development and self-affirmation. Keywords: subject, competence-oriented teacher, pedagogical interaction, person-oriented environment, pedagogical communication.

The introduction of distance technologies is necessary in the professional training of students, despite various assessments of its effectiveness. Hence the purpose of the study: to develop an upbringing system for students in a distance format and experimentally prove its impact on the main directions of upbringing of future teachers, in comparison with extracurricular activities in full-time mode. 156 undergraduate students took part in the experiment. Experimental research is the author's paradigm for the formation of youth upbringing in extracurricular activities, which includes six synergistically interrelated areas. The upbringing student system developed in the study was tested in two formats of implementation: in full-time format at the first stage of the study and in distance format in the second half of the study. The statistical data obtained during the study confirm the effectiveness of the implementation of extracurricular activities for the formation of the upbringing of future teachers only in full-time format. The introduction of distance technologies in the implementation of upbringing extracurricular activities does not have a positive effect on students, but in some areas has an opposite negative effect. The practical significance of the study is determined by the introduction of a self-analysis and monitoring system into the educational process through the use of Facebook and VKontakte social networks.

The success of modern transformational changes in public life depends crucially on the quality of professional training of future professionals. In this view, under conditions of reforming the Ukrainian society, a social significance of a competent specialist is extremely growing. An important area of transformational changes is the training of future teachers on a competence basis, which is conditioned by qualitative features of the competence-based paradigm in the context of modern socio-economic and spiritual development of society, changes in the nature and content of work, complexity as well as increasing requirements to performance results, on the one hand; and on the other hand – by the need to more quickly overcome the negative phenomena occurring in the system of training future professionals. The modern labour market, above all, provides for the presence of a professionally competent worker who is fluent in the profession-centred assignments and well-oriented in related fields, ready for continuous personal growth, social and professional mobility. These requirements can be fully applied to the training intended for the future teachers. At the same time, since the future specialist of any profession begins with the school, namely "the school stands for their teacher", the solution of these complicated problems depends entirely on the teacher, the quality of his / her training. As the teacher’s professional activity under conditions of the New Ukrainian school is filled with qualitatively new content, conditioned by the new demands of the society, the professional requirements to the training of the future teacher are significantly strengthened. This outlines a radical change in approaches to the process of professional training intended for future teachers. This is the general pedagogical core of this training that is important, because it deals with the equipping of students with knowledge of the basics of pedagogical theory and school practice, the development of professional thinking, the developed pedagogical skills and abilities to implement social functions alongside the subject component of the professional development aimed at mastering the logic of deploying the specifics of the content. Based on the understanding that each subject, including Biology in particular, is a means of developing the student's personality; the problem of forming future Natural Science teachers’ subject competence in Biology is becoming extremely important. This also requires the expansion of scientific knowledge about the structure of originality, in particular the subject competence in Biology under conditions of the bachelor courses, where basic higher education is obtained.

A social role of Natural Sciences teachers has been becoming of particular importance in the context of dynamic changes occurring in the modern educational space. Therefore, the professional training of students, in particular, to organize safe life activities of high school students should be grounded on the combining of deep mastering of the basics of theoretical professional knowledge and skills in applying this knowledge in their future educational activities. Thus, there arises a problem of forming the readiness of future Natural Sciences teachers to organize high school students’ safe life activities. The aim of the study is to substantiate theoretically the pedagogical condition for training future teachers of Natural Sciences to organize high school students’ safe life – to create an environment of remote (distant) support for students in the process of training them to organize of high school students’ safe life activities. It has been found out that the environment of remote support of students in the process of training them to organize of high school students’ safe life activities should be considered as an integrated environment of information and educational resources, software, telecommunication means, rules for their administration and use which provide opportunities for interaction during their learning and self-guided work. It has been proved that creating a remote support environment for students in the process of training them to organize of high school students’ safe life activities (distance course + virtual class), using the services GoogleSites and Google Classroom, will improve the efficiency and quality of the training aimed at future Natural Sciences teachers to organize high school students’ safe life activities, expand the educational and methodological basis, implement an individual approach to learning, provide an interactive control over the fulfilment of tasks alongside with the use of the individual and group methods within the online environment, increase the motivation to learn. Keywords: future teachers, Natural Sciences, safe life activities, pupils, distant education, remote / distant support environment.

It was established that the professional training of future teachers of natural sciences should be focused on providing an integrated model of education and based on the formation of students a set of general and special (professional) competencies and personal qualities, which are necessary for successful professional activity. Accordingly, the main content components of professional training of future teachers of natural sciences are knowledge of subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) and their interdisciplinary interaction, understanding of teaching methods, ability to use this knowledge in educational activities and willingness to apply knowledge, skills and abilities in professional activities. The training teacher of natural sciences should be focused on teaching an integrated course «Natural Sciences», which is studied in high school in which natural subjects are not specialized, although his qualifications are a teacher of natural sciences, physics, chemistry, biology, in this specialist has broader qualifications and, accordingly, the range of competencies. Therefore, in addition to the formed competencies in each subject, we expect that in the process of training teachers of natural sciences is also important to integrate the curriculum of mandatory disciplines, which will ensure the formation of a holistic system of knowledge and skills. Analytical review of the programs of the course «Natural Sciences» for high school in terms of their content allowed us to state that they were aimed at the formation of natural sciences competence of the individual, but each provides it differently. While some clearly show the presence of separate semantic blocks of different subjects, in others we see an attempt to make the program more integrated basis on objects of study: matter, field, energy and technology, we anticipate human habitation in the environment and man-made society. We convinced that this approach will be further develops, because it corresponds to the idea of integrativity, embedded in the idea of the emergence of this subject in high school. The introduction of an integrated course «Natural Sciences» in high school forces to move away from the disparate formation of natural knowledge in individual subjects and strengthens the integrative nature of the content of natural subjects. Accordingly, the professional training of future teachers of natural sciences should be improve in the direction of integrating the knowledge, skills and abilities of students in the process of studying the relevant professional disciplines. It was recommended to introduce integrated disciplines in the process of training future teachers of natural sciences, which will ensure their quality professional training.
