Необходимым условием существования инновационной экономики является модернизация системы образования как основы социального развития общества. Чтобы развить личностные качества обучающихся, актуальные для решения перспективных задач реального сектора экономики, нужно использовать в образовательной практике технологии, направленные на формирование навыков XXI века. В последние годы большое внимание уделяется развитию метода проектного обучения. Необходимо проанализировать природу данного метода и его основных компонентов, чтобы определить целесообразные способы их применения для школьной и вузовской практики. Целью исследования является анализ особенностей применения проектного обучения на различных этапах образовательной системы. Актуальность данного исследования связана с ростом трансформационных процессов в образовании, направленных на усиление его практикоориентированности. Гипотеза исследования опирается на положение, что увеличение доли проектных технологий при их целенаправленном педагогическом сопровождении в системе образования будет способствовать развитию профессиональных и личностных качеств будущих специалистов, делая их более конкурентоспособными и востребованными на рынке труда. Основное предназначение метода проектов состоит в предоставлении студентам возможности самостоятельного приобретения знаний и умений в процессе решения разноуровневых профессиональных задач. A necessary condition for the existence of an innovative economy is the modernization of the education system as the basis for the social development of society. In order to develop the personal qualities of students that are relevant for solving promising problems in the real sector of the economy, it is necessary to use technologies in educational practice aimed at developing skills of the 21st century. In recent years, much attention has been paid to the development of the project-based teaching method. It is necessary to analyze the nature of this method and its main components in order to determine the appropriate ways of their application for school and university practice. The aim of the study is to analyze the features of the application of project-based learning at various stages of the educational system. The relevance of this study is associated with the growth of transformational processes in education, aimed at strengthening its practice orientation. The research hypothesis is based on the position that an increase in the share of design technologies with their purposeful pedagogical support in the education system will contribute to the development of professional and personal qualities of future specialists, making them more competitive and in demand in the labor market. The main purpose of the project method is to provide students with the opportunity to independently acquire knowledge and skills in the process of solving professional problems of different levels.

<p>The present research examines the project method, as it is met at the new curriculum of literature in the first Grade of Greek high schools and the effectiveness of it and of the teacher’s role at the development of social skills, of students with low level. At first it is made an effort to measure that level at the beginning of the literature lessons, by giving to 381 students a questionnaire to answer about themselves and to their 13 teachers a questionnaire to answer about their student’s social skills. The investigation was made with methodological triangulation. We observed at the beginning and at the end of the semester the 42 students who were found to have low level of social skills. Also we interviewed their 13 teachers about the way they organized their lessons. Moreover we interviewed the 42 students about the role of their teachers and if the teachers helped them to increase their social skills. At the end of the semester we gave the same questionnaire both to the 42 students and their teachers (post-tests). The comparison of the pre and post tests and the data processing of the observations and the interviews, show an increase of student’s social skills. Those results are important because of the following reasons: first of all the majority of the investigations examine the results of project method at the “territory” of cognition and not at the “territory” of social skills and secondly the majority of the investigations focuse on the social skills of disabled children.</p>

Актуальность статьи обусловлена необходимостью изучения основных характеристик дидактического сопровождения молодежной проектной деятельности и социальных инициатив в контексте возможностей повышения эффективности данной педагогической категории. Цель статьи состоит в рассмотрении основных компонентов дидактики учебной проектной деятельности и социальных инициатив молодежи в единстве целей, организационных принципов, содержания, форм, методов, педагогических условий и алгоритма реализации. Обозначен ресурсный потенциал метода проектов для работы с молодежью, заключающейся в более широком включении студентов в социально-значимую для регионов деятельность в рамках «третьей миссии» университетов. Данные обстоятельства будут содействовать более эффективному раскрытию их образовательно-поискового, научного и творческого потенциала, интеллектуальных и профессионально-деловых личностных качеств (ответственность, инициативность, коммуникабельность, исполнительность, лидерские качества и т.п.). В статье обосновано, что молодежная проектная деятельность предполагает прохождение ее участниками определенного образовательного маршрута, в котором они применяют имеющиеся у них компетенции и навыки проектной деятельности, необходимые для решения реальных прикладных задач проекта. Раскрывается сущность гипотезы: образовательная и социально-проектная деятельность молодежи эффективна, если начинается со студенческих проектов, привязанных к реальным социально-экономическим проблемам территорий их постоянного места проживания (малой Родины), и выступающих в данном аспекте как личностно-познавательный и социально-воспитательный фактор развития профессиональных компетенций, навыков проектной деятельности и коммуникативно-деловой культуры. The relevance of the article is due to the need to study the main characteristics of didactic support of youth project activities and social initiatives in the context of opportunities to increase the effectiveness of this pedagogical category. The purpose of the article is to consider the main components of didactics of educational project activities and social initiatives of youth in the unity of goals, organizational principles, content, forms, methods, pedagogical conditions and implementation algorithm. The resource potential of the project method for working with young people is indicated, which consists in a wider inclusion of students in socially significant activities for the regions within the framework of the "third mission" of universities. These circumstances will contribute to a more effective disclosure of their educational and search, scientific and creative potential, intellectual and professional-business personal qualities. (responsibility, initiative, sociability, performance, leadership qualities, etc.). The article substantiates that youth project activity involves the passage of a certain educational route by its participants, in which they apply their existing competencies and skills of project activity necessary to solve real applied tasks of the project. The essence of the hypothesis is revealed: the educational and socio-project activity of young people is effective if it begins with student projects tied to the real socio-economic problems of the territories of their permanent residence (small homeland), and acting in this aspect as a personal-cognitive and socio-educational factor in the development of professional competencies, project skills and communicative and business culture.

ABSTRACTIn Higher Education is becoming widespread a teaching method founded on the constructivist and competency-based learning which is developed in the methodological context of cases, problems and projects that several universities have standardized. In this article, we study its relevance in the light of an experience in the lecture room and we also make progress as for the possible connection between those methodologies and qualitative tradition of the Social and Educational Sciences. To conclude, we contribute to its positive effect with regard to the learning efficiency and to preserve an ethical aim in the educational process. However, we make evident some excesses and limitations that it’s earnestly essential to deal with.RESUMENEn la educación superior se está generalizando la práctica docente sustentada en el aprendizaje constructivista mediante competencias, que se desarrolla y tiene lugar en el contexto metodológico de casos, problemas y proyectos, estandari-zados por diversas universidades. Aquí, exploramos su pertinencia a la luz de una experiencia desarrollada en el aula y avan-zamos en la posible relación entre estas metodologías y la tradición cualitativa de las ciencias sociales y educativas. Finalmente, convenimos en manifestar su efecto positivo para la eficiencia del aprendizaje y para preservar una intencionalidad ética en el proceso educativo. Evidenciando, no obstante, ciertos excesos y limitaciones que es necesario abordar con seriedad. Contacto principal: [email protected]

The focus of the education system on the assimilation of knowledge, which was traditional and justified before, no longer corresponds to the modern social order, is determined by the objective need of society for a new person, capable of independent, responsible, creative actions, an intellectual person, with a critical thinking, liberated from dogmas, living in a complex. The fulfilment of these tasks requires a significant improvement in the quality of professional training of future specialists, based on the application of the pedagogical aspects of human existence and development in the context of the formation of their professional competence and involves the development of personal qualities and creative abilities, the ability to independently acquire new knowledge and solve problems, and navigate in the life of society.

Introduction. The article provides an overview of the most notable pedagogical innovations (project method, programmed teaching, pedagogy of cooperation), mastered at the scientific level, but not widely used in educational practice. Special attention is paid to the paradigm of contextual education developed by the Academician of the Russian Academy of Education, Head of the Department of Social and Pedagogical Psychology in Sholokhov Moscow State University for the Humanities, A. A. Verbitsky and his scientific school. This paradigm accumulates many effective forms, methods and means, substantiated within the framework of various innovative approaches; however, it finds application only on the experimental sites of individual creative teachers of Russia.The aim of the present publication is to investigate the reasons for the rejection by educational practice to apply pedagogical innovations, conditions and prospects.Methodology and research methods. The author analyses the works of A. A. Verbitsky's scientific school, consistently developing the paradigm of contextual education in monographic and dissertation research, mastering it in the long-term teaching practice of the leading Russian university in the field of intelligent systems in humanities and applied humanities.Results and scientific novelty. The author rejects the widespread opinion about the inhibition of innovations by the conservative pedagogical environment and shows their ideological incompatibility between the centralised management of education and the autocracy of Russian society as a whole. It is proved that the imperative of the perception of pedagogical innovations by education is a change in the social environment.Practical significance. The author's assessments and conclusions create methodological prerequisites for developing a discussion about the mission of pedagogical science and the conditions for its development in modern Russian society. Thus, it could explain why the “didactocentrism”, proclaimed by John Amos Comenius, prevails in Russian education.

The issues of the “project method” in the context of the past and the prospects for further use in the educational process have been considered. It has been suggested the interpretation of the terms “project”, “method”, “project method” based on the generalization of definitions of many researchers. It has also been found out that a project is a comprehensive way of exploring different topics as while working on one main topic, others, which are no less important, are identified in the course of the activity and in-depth study of the issue. It has been indicated the effectiveness of the “project method”, its dependence on the level of preparation due to the subject of study since the participants must possess certain skills and experience for its implementation. The main stages of the project-based learning process are outlined. It has been highlighted the role of the teacher in project training. It is emphasized that the teacher performs contemplative and directing functions while executing the project, and his main goal is to create a working atmosphere that is comfortable for all participants. It is noted that the project method, like any other method used in the educational process, has both advantages and disadvantages. The information about the founder of William Kilpatrick's “project method” is given. It has been emphasized that W. Kilpatrick suggested organizing the educational process as an appropriate activity in the social environment, focused on the enrichment of individual experience. Information on “smart cards” and their relation to the “project method” is presented. It has been stated the essence of reference schemes, which allow to cover a certain issue in the most complete way, help in memorizing, supplementing, associating, visualizing information. It is supposed that the application of this method allows to unite children, learn how to work in a team, develop the ability to express their opinions, formulate a willingness to take different approaches to one topic.

Technological innovation, social and economic changes, and globalization are forcing the education system to prepare school graduates to integrate successfully into the rapidly changing world. Along with teaching basic subjects such as the humanities, languages, mathematics and science, schools should expose all students to new technologies, impart knowledge and skills to them to use these technologies effectively, and foster their motivation to integrate into the world of research and innovation in technology and engineering. Schools need also to prepare students to integrate into a world in which the vast majority of business organizations are not bureaucratic but rely instead on work teams, shared decision making and a great deal of risk-taking in the effort to compete in the global market. One of the main tools available to schools to achieve these goals is the teaching of subjects in technology and engineering as an integral part of the curriculum from kindergarten to high school. One challenge for technological education worldwide is to change what we have been teaching in the technological class. While in the past, technology education dealt with teaching subjects such as crafts, auto-mechanics or electronics, technology studies today have to focus more on developing students’ computational thinking, for example, in the context of computerized control systems and robotics. A second challenge to technological education today is to change how we teach in the technological classroom. We must move from the traditional chalk-and-board teaching method to teaching that develops students’ learning skills, for example, project-based learning. In this article, I will elaborate on these issues and present examples of the implementation of these ideas in the Israeli education system.

The Principles of Islam requirehuman to maintain  and improve their moral values BuT in fact, many  Moslems  face problems of moral deteriora tion, crisis of beliefs, and moral decadence that happenin all aspects of life. This moral deterioration is often associated by  the  experts  of  education  with the failure of educat ion. The failure of education relates to the education system that has various components that affect each other. The elements needed in the education system are the goal of education , educators, students, tool s,  and  natural  surroundings. The results of this study indicate that the essence of  spiritual  learning obligations according to Syaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilaniy is araising the total of  truth towards  Allah SWT's path.  The aims of the learning areto implement knowledge and clean  the heart (tazkiyyah al-nafs) from worldly characters and the lust of dirtiness to ma'rifatullah. Spiritual educators are  those who  practice  the law of Allah, clean the heart and  guide  students to the  safety of life  in the Hereafter . Learners constantly face Allah and obey Him, do not meet the call besides Allah, listen  to  the  call  of  Allah  and implement everything stated in the Qur ·an  and  the  Prophet tradition. Teaching method used is the method of mau'izhah, sima',  ahwal ,   and   muhasabah  fial-nafs (introspection). Educational materials are  based  on  the  basics  of  spiritual education in the Qur'an, the Prothet tradition. and the opinion of Muslim religious leaders who have noble characters and integrate science.  Moral education  is  the core of Islamic education. The implications of the spiritual educational thought of Syaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilaniy toward the reality of Islamic education in Indonesia is the emphasis of moral education that leads to a balance relationship  between  the  exoteric  and esoteric aspects of the learning process.
