THEORETICAL MODEL OF THE PROFESSIONAL ROLE OF THE FUTURE TEACHER AS AN ANIMATOR
This article contains a theoretical overview of animation in the training and education process, which is the basis of a research procedure related to the issues under consideration.For both schools and universities it is more and more difficult to meet the requirements imposed by the dynamic modernity. The specificity of the teacher's professional profile, as well as the professional roles he is called to perform, is changing. Modern learners (pupils and students) have the opportunity to compare and selectively refer to sources of information. They prefer scientific knowledge to be presented in an attractive, interesting and catchy manner. The teacher, aside from being an informant, coordinator, diagnostician, assessor, interlocutor, observer, educator, role model and diplomat should be an artist and animator.Didactic animation in the learning process offers a variety of opportunities to involve participants in non-standard pedagogical situations and active participation in learning, which ensures an increased willingness to learn.The new pedagogical situation is related to the use of pedagogical animation opportunities for the purposes of education, based on the idea of interaction between the joy of entertainment and the learning objectives.Part of the disciplines studied by future teachers train them to put the child at the center of pedagogical interaction, balancing the elements of learning and play, of commitment and pleasure, which justifies the need to apply an animation approach to education.Pedagogical animation stimulates certain activeness, creates an environment with higher quality of organization of the education process and leisure time and contributes to more effective achievement of the goals of education and training.The conducted research involving practicing teachers and students of Primary School Pedagogy and Primary School Pedagogy and English demonstrates the understanding of animation as a modern dimension of the general pedagogical principles of upbringing and education.
