Active Teaching

The article deals with the topical problem of modern professional education – formation of first-year students' motivation for educational and professional activity as a guarantee of successful and high quality preparation of future specialists. The author emphasizes the fact that the use of active teaching methods will help to solve this problem. The article covers a variety of active teaching methods, describes some aspects of their application to enhance the motivation of students of pedagogical specialties in higher education institutions. The author actualizes the problem, first of all, through the analysis of the Law of Ukraine "On Education" in the part of staffing of educational institutions, which guarantees the recipients of education to provide high-quality specialists, capable of achieving high results and providing creative approaches to the organization of the educational process, thus creating innovative education. This social need determines the actualization of the problem of qualitative training of future teachers in the educational process of institutions of higher education, in particular, by reviewing the range of methods of classroom work organization. In the first year of training of future specialists, the methods should be selected in such a way as to promote the development of cognitive interest in the chosen specialty and gradually form the motivation for educational activity, because it is during this very period that a didactic adaptation of a future teacher to conditions of an institution of higher education takes place. In addition, for the future teacher, motivation to study in the first year already has great professional meaning. The author concludes that the review of the achievements of research, which is the subject of active teaching methods, allowed us to highlight the benefits of these methods for the educational process of higher education institutions. In particular, it is necessary to increase the educational motivation of freshmen in pedagogical specialties. In addition, active methods are aimed at restructuring and improving the educational process, as well as training professionals for professional activity. The introduction of active methods in the educational process of higher education institutions will provide opportunities for enhancing the emotional response of freshmen to the process of cognition, intensification of their learning activities, interest in acquiring new knowledge, skills and practical use of them; development of students' creative abilities, speech; forming the ability to substantiate and express their own views, activate thinking and so on. Among the most successful active methods are the following: problematic lecture, "lecture for the two", "press conference", pre-planned mistakes, lectures-consultations, "round table", discussion, "brainstorming", case-study and others. Prospects for further research show empirical understanding of the effectiveness of active teaching methods in the classroom work of higher education institutions.

The article analyzes current ideas about the problem of practical training of future specialists in the educational sphere. The content, historical aspect, specificity of active teaching methods in the experience of Ukrainian educators of the past and the present have considered in detail. A special emphasis is put on modern technologies for teaching students. Exceptional attention has been paid to interactive methods and teaching methods in the higher education institutions. The competent use of various active methods of teaching while conducting classes in higher education institutions makes it possible to make the process of mastering theoretical knowledge and the formation of practical skills not only interesting but also more productive. It has been proved that during such classes the level of cognitive activity of the students increases, the acquired knowledge is more flexible, critical thinking develops and the ability to make creative non-standard decisions is formed, future specialists become independent learners. The activity of the teacher is inferior to the activity of the listeners. Thus, it has been concluded that the use of active methods in the educational process of institutions of higher education provides the necessary conditions for the development of creative abilities of students, the desire to improve their own professional level, the formation of professional and personal qualities, the possession of modern educational innovations and their implementation in the educational process of higher education, formation of the ability to navigate new situations, find new approaches to solving professional situations and generalize their own pedagogical experience. The choice of active teaching methods helps to attract students to active communicative activities during classes, promotes self-mastery of skills and abilities, the search for the necessary linguistic means, and the ways of solving various tasks.

The author reveals the necessity of introducing into the educational and professional programs of preparation of masters of non-pedagogical specialties of the discipline "Didactics of higher education". Formation of pedagogical competences of the teacher of the higher school will allow the future specialists professional activity in the institutions of higher education. The article reveals the essence of didactic competence and peculiarities of its formation in higher education students in the current conditions of organizing the initial process. The competency approach should permeate all aspects of student training. Therefore, a special (didactic) competence should be included in the list of the graduates' learning outcomes. The didactic competence is the ability to apply knowledge of psychology and pedagogy (didactics) in the educational process of higher education institutions. In the orientation of the educational and professional program of the master of non-pedagogical specialties it is necessary to enter competencies that allow him to engage in teaching activities. General competences add to the ability to carry out pedagogical activities using innovative educational technologies, and special competences add to the ability to organize the educational process and carry out scientific research in order to solve topical problems of the theory, methodology, organization and practice of higher education students. One of the most important compulsory (normative) disciplines that enable the future specialist to teach special and professional disciplines in higher education institutions should be "Didactic of Higher Education". This is the main feature of forming didactic competence in higher education institutions. But the competent approach in higher education does not come down to a separate discipline, but because the phenomenon of integral and dynamic develops in the process of formal, non-formal and informal education and is in constant development and self-development. All stages of preparation of the master of non-pedagogical specialties for teaching activity should be directed on achievement of the main purpose of the educational process — formation of pedagogical competences of applicants of higher education.

Study Participants

Data from an empirical study aimed at identifying the difficulties faced by students in their transition to higher education, the overcoming of which is important for personal development, are presented in the article. The study participants (n=179) were asked to describe the difficulties of transition from school to University in the 1st year based on analysis of their autobiographical memory. The content analysis of texts allowed identifying the main themes and compiling a list of challenges, and then the frequency of occurrence of each of them was determined. According to the results, the most actual difficulties are the different aspects of integrating into the new social community due to sharp changes in the social environment during the transition from school to University. A big challenge is the need for self-organization in educational and everyday matters, planning and organizing your time. The third most frequently mentioned is learning difficulties, especially those related to mastering the material in the new educational environment. Problematic areas of adaptation to higher education that have not been previously reflected in the sources are the establishment of a common life in the dormitory, pressure from parents, the manifestation of their individuality, the increase in the length of classes and the pace of learning, romantic relationships and language barriers. The difficulties of the first examination session are much less frequently mentioned, and are more frequently mentioned when examining the current adaptation process. The results of the study can be used for the development and subsequent implementation of a system of practical measures aimed at helping students to adapt to the new environment and conditions. Such assistance to students in building a new way of life at a university, especially at an early stage of study, is necessary not only to improve the effectiveness of the educational process, but also to facilitate the processes of personal growth and development of students

Many Japanese private higher education institutions also face a risk of falling into the "losing group." It seems that small/rural colleges end up receiving less extra income from admissions over the tei-in (the quota for first-year students) level. This loss creates less scholarship money for capable students. The small/rural institutions are likely to lose prospective students as a negative cycle works against them. This tendency, in turn, augments the opportunities available to large, metropolitan higher education institutions. In Japan, a clear division is anticipated, with the larger institutions getting much larger and the smaller and rural ones getting much smaller. This is a hard fact that we will face in the foreseeable future.

This article presents a new look at the problem of updating the use of active teaching methods in the educational process of higher education; the socio-psychological foundations of the actualization of this problem in the system of higher education are highlighted; the prospects and possibilities of using active teaching methods in the educational practice of a modern university, etc. are shown. It is shown that at the present stage of the development of society, in the process of developing new «amendments» to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, on the way to a new look at the nature of man, at his rapidly changing world, at the significance of the level of development of his literacy and professionalism, the awareness of the requirements for the education system in whole - inexorably increase. Education in modern Russia is becoming strong, responsible, creative, socially active, patriotic-minded, legally-economic, politically-socially literate, with a high position, ready and able to live and work in a democratic society-oriented state, in a secular society, with highly moral and spirituallyoriented ideals. To cope with this practice is possible only if there is a generally accessible strategy of a humanistic strategy in education, reliable and active approaches, as well as an individually-oriented training paradigm in solving professional problems using practical teaching methods.

As the title implies, a scientific paper reveals the issue of an efficiency of professional activity of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions in the context of SIOP model. The problem of this study is that in spite of the stressed importance of teaching skills, student teachers lack many of the English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching skills which may have a negative impact on their teaching performance that in turn affects their teaching self-efficacy. The methods of applying SIOP model and the effect of using SIOP model on developing EFL student teachers’ teaching skills are studied. It is emphasized that among the multiple factors that affect students’ achievement is teacher effectiveness. Thus, the challenge remains to improve and promote the effectiveness of teachers in an effort to increase students’ academic achievement. The positive and negative aspects of the education shift towards SIOP model are identified, the principles of enhancing innovative educational process effectiveness are revealed. It is worth noting that any professional development of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions must address specific knowledge and attitudes that are relevant to teaching foreign language learners. Teachers need to understand basic constructs of the second language development, the nature of language proficiency, the role of the first language and culture in learning, and the demands that mainstream education places on culturally diverse students. There is growing evidence that professional development approaches that are guided by teacher input and that view teacher learning as continual and transformative makes higher education institutions a better place for students and staff. The results indicated that introduction of SIOP model has opened up a number of problems associated with the introduction of such training services. It is stressed that the factors of SIOP model can guide limited English proficient students and suggest some useful strategies for language teachers to handle the students’ difficulties in language comprehension. It should be stressed that the introduction of SIOP model in modern educational process opens up wide horizons and unlimited possibilities for the efficiency of professional activity of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions, which have yet to be studied and mastered by modern pedagogical science.
