INNOVATIVE APPROACHES IN ORGANIZATION OF THE LESSON "BASICS OF LIFE SAFETY" HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Innovation - an innovation in the field of technology, technology, labor organization or management, based on the use of scientific achievements and best practices, providing a qualitative increase in the efficiency of the production system or product quality [3]. Pedagogical innovation is changes aimed at improving the development, education and training of students of a higher educational institution. At the present stage of development of pedagogical education, innovative processes have affected various areas. The search for new approaches is carried out in different directions - in the content, technologies, forms of organizing the activities of the subjects of the educational process, in assessing the results. Each pedagogical era gave birth to its own generation of technologies: - the first generation of educational technologies represented traditional methods; - Technologies of the second and third generations were modular-block and all-block training systems; - Integral technology belongs to the fourth generation of educational technologies.

PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY OF CASE-STUDY IN TRAINING ON MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING IN PHARMACY IN THE PROCESS OF FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETITION

The article substantiates the application of pedagogical innovation and case-study technology in training in management and marketing in pharmacy in the process of forming the professional competence of future masters in higher education institutions. Professional training of masters of the pharmaceutical industry in higher education institutions should be aimed at ensuring the formation of their professional competence for successful professional self-realization of the individual in today's labor market. The strategic landmark of our country's development - European integration determines the modernization of Ukraine's higher education system, which includes modernization processes and improvement of higher pharmaceutical education, in accordance with social conditionality and labor market demands, optimization of integration processes, adaptation to the European pharmaceutical market and labor market. New demands of the pharmaceutical market lead to the improvement of the system of professional training of future specialists in the pharmaceutical industry in higher education institutions on the basis of the competence approach and their readiness to perform professional competencies. It is established that the modernization of educational processes in the training of future masters of the pharmaceutical industry requires the introduction of sectoral and educational innovations and technologies that will ensure their competitiveness in the modern labor market and further development of the pharmaceutical industry in terms of European integration. Cases of professional-pharmaceutical model situations and level diagnostic packages of tests have been developed, which in complex use provides an opportunity to assess students' academic achievements and diagnose the level of professional competence, readiness to implement professional competencies in management and marketing in pharmacy. A systematic analysis and differential assessment of the formation of professional competence and readiness to implement professional pharmaceutical competencies and research competencies of future masters in applied industry research in management and marketing in pharmacy based on students solving professional-pharmaceutical model situations and test tasks diagnostic packages.

EFL Learners’ Formulaic Language Use in Writing: an Action Research Account

The present study exemplifies an action research-based approach for addressing the extent to which a process of explicit instruction of formulaic language supports the use of this type of vocabulary in middle school students’ short narrative written texts. The study was conducted at a private school in Chile, as a plan to help learners use different forms of expression in a written format. Data were obtained from a group of 23 Spanish-speaking learners of English before and after the intervention period. The action research methodology was implemented in order to collect and analyse written compositions as well as a survey for evaluating the treatment from the students’ perspective. The observation and reflection process led to positive outcomes in relation to the use of formulaic expressions in writing, and students’ opinion about the process also proved favourable. The pedagogical innovation is reflected upon theoretical and pedagogical perspectives. Implications applicable to teachers working in this and other contexts are also considered.

The identity changes in online learning and teaching: instructors, learners, and learning management systems

Not because of the unexpected global pandemic, but because of the emergence of educational technology and pedagogical innovation, the ways of teaching and learning have been switched to technology integrated modes such as blended and flipped learning which is more than changing to online from face-to-face. Yet, many institutes, which rely on a conventional residential teaching mode or use learning management systems (LMS) as an additive tool, are further struggling to adjust to the new environment. In this paper, we argue that the identity changes of three components, instructor, learner, and LMS are inevitable for authentic online teaching and learning. By applying conceptual frameworks for the identity changes with four sequential levels, we evaluated Blackboard course sites (n = 53) and analysed course evaluations (n = 41) from a university that remained holding a traditional classroom mode and using an LMS in a non-integrated way. As a result, only a few courses appeared at higher levels of the identity changes. To integrate the identity changes in online learning and teaching, we argue that an LMS should be designed and managed as a learning community; both instructors and learners should be repositioned as co-participants; and they should work together to build a post-learning community by practicing community membership.

Identifying pedagogical innovation in cultural minority classrooms: A cultural historical activity theory and appreciative inquiry perspective in the Philippines and New Zealand

<p>This is a multiple case study which investigates teachers’ pedagogical innovations in cultural minority classrooms using Cultural Historical Activity Theory and Appreciative Inquiry as theoretical lens. Pedagogical innovation refers to a new idea or the development of an existing product, process, strategy, or method in teaching and learning that is applied in a specific context with the intention to create added value or the potential to improve student learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate teachers’ pedagogical innovations in cultural minority classrooms; the ways in which teachers mediate the learning of their students through pedagogical innovations in cultural minority classrooms; and how individual teachers’ school environments promote or inhibit the implementation of pedagogical innovations in cultural minority classrooms. A total of nine teachers and their classes from five public or state secondary schools in the Philippines and Aotearoa New Zealand participated in the study. Data were collected using observations, talanoa, audio-visual recordings, and documents, which consisted of lesson plans, school newsletters, and publications. Data were analysed within and across cases using a thematic approach and a comparative approach in relation to the five standards of effective pedagogy. The data suggest that there are two aspects to understanding pedagogical innovation in cultural minority classrooms: the tangible aspects or artefacts for learning, and the intangible aspects or appreciative mediation for learning. Artefacts for learning pertain to any human-made objects available in the learning environment such as classrooms, which are essential in engaging student learning. These are concrete manifestations of teachers’ creativity utilised in teaching and learning. Common examples of artefacts for learning used by teachers across all case studies were student modules or kits and teaching instruments such as visual aids, photos, and information and communications technology. Appreciative mediation for learning pertains to the positive and strength-based operations and/or actions, attitudes, behaviours, and outlooks of teachers, which result in student learning. These include genuine appreciation and collaboration with students, teaching initiatives, positive disposition, and self reflection. Factors that affect the implementation of teachers’ pedagogical innovations are grouped into two: the social support system and the structural regulation of the school system. The social support system identified in the study that promoted teachers’ pedagogical innovation, and are common across all case studies, were family, community, school staff, and students. The structural regulation of the school system was found to hinder teachers’ pedagogical innovation. Examples common across all case studies are lack of and/or limited artefacts for learning, inadequate professional development for teachers, impassive curriculum, and poor student attendance.</p>

Big Steps, Little Change: A Case Study in French University Teachers’ Cognitions in the Context of Pedagogical Innovation

The rate of failure of French students during their first years at university is substantial, with only 42% graduating in the expected three or 4 years. As a result, French universities have called for a “pedagogical transformation” encouraging innovative teaching practices to improve undergraduate students’ academic success, notably the introduction of blended learning methods. In 2015, teachers from the three marine stations of Sorbonne Université created the online blended learning platform e-marin’lab for their marine science programs. In this paper, we investigated the participating teachers’ cognitions with regard to teaching and learning. Despite the success of the project that relied on their substantial voluntary commitment, the teachers demonstrated an adhesion to more traditional views (i.e., directive teacher-student transmission of knowledge is more efficient for students’ learning). Perhaps more paradoxically, our data reveal that the same teachers saw themselves as teaching in a student-oriented way, and that their students’ lack of engagement in class was due to their poor study skills and intrinsic motivation. Among other factors that will be discussed, we believe that these results are influenced by a context that does not provide many teacher training opportunities and that places little importance on teaching in university professors’ career recognition. Finally, the importance of the e-marin’lab platform in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation from 2020 and the massive use of distance teaching in marine sciences during national lockdown periods is discussed.

EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION AS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY

The article considers innovation in the field of education through the synthesis of theory and practice as a branch of scientific knowledge. It is noted that educational innovation is aimed at finding the most effective methods of transmitting information from teacher to student, in the field of education, it is based primarily on pedagogy and psychology; innovation in education is perceived as a branch of scientific knowledge that explores the educational process and methods of its implementation. Pedagogical innovation includes the doctrine of the inseparable relationship of the following components of the innovation process: the development of educational innovations, their testing and implementation, application in practice and dissemination; the subject of pedagogical innovation is considered to be a set of tools and patterns in the field of development and implementation of pedagogical innovations in educational institutions. The article analyzes a number of concepts, in particular: “innovation”, “innovative person”, “educational innovation”. Thus, the concept of “innovative person” is interpreted as a person of such socio-cultural development, who is able to work creatively, to be competitive in today’s conditions. Attention is paid to the problems of forming innovative models of education in higher education. The model of innovative learning in higher education proposed by scientists is taken into account, which provides for: active participation of the student in the learning process; opportunities for applied use of knowledge in real conditions; bringing concepts and knowledge in a variety of forms, not just in text; approach to learning as a collective rather than individual activity; shifting the focus to the learning process rather than memorizing information. The article draws attention to the interpretation of the definition of “pedagogical innovation”. Pedagogical innovation is a purposeful change that introduces innovations into the educational environment that improve the characteristics of individual parts, components and the educational system as a whole; the process of mastering innovation; search for ideal methods and programs, their implementation in the educational process and their creative rethinking. It is noted that innovative processes in the education system are perceived as controlled processes of creation, perception, evaluation, development and application of pedagogical innovations. The classification of pedagogical innovations is given, in particular: by types of activity; by the nature of the changes; on the scale of changes; by scale of use; by source.Key words: innovation, innovative models, pedagogical innovation, educational environment, pedagogical innovations. У статті розглянуто інноватику у сфері освіти через синтез теорії та практики як галузь наукового знання. Зауважується, що освітня інноватиканацілена на пошук найбільш дієвих методів передачі інформації від вчителя до учня, у сфері освіти вона спирається в першу чергу на педагогіку і психологію; інноватика у сфері освіти сприймається як галузь наукового знання, що досліджує освітній процес і методи його втілення в життя. Педагогічна інноватика включає в себе вчення про нерозривний взаємозв’язок таких компонентів інноваційного процесу, як: розробка освітніх нововведень, їх тестування та впровадження, застосування на практиці і поширення; предметом педагогічної інноватики вважають сукупність засобів і закономірностей в області розробки і впровадження педагогічних нововведень в освітніх установах. У статті проаналізовано ряд понять, зокрема: «інноватика», «інноваційна людина», «освітня інноватика». Так, поняття «інноваційна людина» тлумачиться як особа такого соціально-культурного розвитку, яка здатна творчо працювати, бути конкурентноспроможною в умовах сьогодення. Звертається увага на проблеми формування інноваційних моделей навчання у вищій школі. Взято до уваги запропоновану науковцями модель інноваційного навчання у вищій школі, яка передбачає: активну участь студента у про-цесі навчання; можливості прикладного використання знань у реальних умовах; наведення концепцій і знань у найрізноманітніших формах, а не тільки у текстовій; підхід до навчання як до колективної, а не індивідуальної діяльності; зміщення акценту на процес навчання, а не на запам’ятовування інформації. У статті звертається увага на потрактування дефініції «інновація педагогічна». Інновація педагогічна – це цілеспрямована зміна, що вносить в освітнє середовище нововведення, які поліпшують характеристики окремих частин, компонентів і самої освітньої системи в цілому; процес освоєння нововведення; пошук ідеальних методик і програм, їх впровадження в освітній процес і їх творче переосмислення. Зауважуєть-ся, що інноваційні процеси в системі освіти сприймаються як керовані процеси створення, сприйняття, оцінки, освоєння і застосування педагогічних нововведень. Наводиться класифікація педагогічних інновацій, зокрема: за видами діяльності; за характером внесених змін; за масштабом внесених змін; за масштабом використання; за джерелом виникнення.Ключові слова: інноватика, інноваційні моделі, педагогічна інноватика, освітнє середовище, педагогічні нововведення.
