MODERN INNOVATIONS IN PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION

The article is devoted to technologicalization in higher pedagogical education, specific features of technological approach to teaching, expansion of innovations, including creation and constant updating of digital content for each educational program, providing free access to information resources, extensive use of external and internal platforms for professional develop-ment. It is proved that the “clip” specifics of assimilation of information by modern youth should be taken into account in the teacher’s professional activities, which requires a new idea for didactics and subject methods of diagnostic whole teaching. It is investigated that the personal-and-activity approach is the concept of learning through activities, which is formed in the activities, determines the nature of this activities and communication. It is emphasized that creative educational activities are focused on the creation of a creative educational project by students, but the main emphasis of creative activities is a creative personality that has specific characteristics of quality and properties. The article proves that the basic potential of individual learning is laid in a relatively new scientific direction, called “neurodidactics” – “neuroeducation”, “neuropedagogy” – “neuropsychopedagogy”, based on the study of the interaction of brain and psyche, functional brain.

INTERPRETATIONS OF TEACHING METHODS IN CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE: SOPHISTIC DIMENSION

Introduction. This paper focuses on the issue of conceptual thinking inherent in modern scientific dis-course. The idea is emphasized that in any field of pedagogical activity, the acquisition of subject knowledge and thinking skills requires an understanding of the subject content, which is considered to be a complex and methodologically im-portant task not only in secondary school instruction, but also in professional training. An equally important aspect related to the understanding and interpretation of the senses embedded in texts is the awareness of the semantic core of those concepts that form the pivotal foundation of scholarly text. It is posited that the semantic essence of concepts is always formed at the stage of their emergence in a particular field of knowledge and has to remain unchanged while it is further being evolved. Extending the foregoing, the emergence of new concepts involves their logical coordination with the semantic foundations of the conceptual system inherent in the relevant field of knowledge. Under other conditions, new concepts do not get enrooted, and the tentative to make use of them is at variance with the systemic and conventionally accepted interpretations of other concepts. Besides, it and confuses their semantic interrelations. Therefore, for each field of knowledge, the logical completeness and unambiguity of the semantic attributes of the employed concepts is essential. Purpose. This article is aimed to review the positions of the contemporary scholars in interpreting the tradi-tional concept "teaching methods". Furthermore, it illus-trates the paradoxical essence of the proposed conceptual oxymorons, and to this end, it attempts to prevent the distortion of the conceptual meanings of the established pedagogical entities. Among the employed research methods, the priority is given to “modi operandi” of content analysis, which are non-inherent in the qualitative characteristics of the pedagogical concept “teaching method”. Nonetheless, in recent decades they have been actively implanted in pedagogical discourse by budding researchers. Results. The study has analyzed the issues of conceptual thinking immanent to contemporary scientific discourse. In particular, it has concentrated on investigating the semantic dimensions of interpreting the pedagogical concept “teaching method”. In addition, it has illustrated the semantic maxims of its gradual modifications to the levels of “active”, “effective’, and “innovative”. Furthermore, the article has revealed the inaccurate and incorrect usage of the qualitative characteristics of the notion “teaching method”. Hence, it has actualized the necessity to eradicate the previously introduced conflicting concepts from a pedagogical domain in order to prevent the attempts of modifying the domestic pedagogical system in accordance with foreign educational practices. The proposed study stands out for its originality, since it presents the scholarly substantiation and multi-tudinous illustrations of the absurdity of the artificially coined and adopted qualitative characteristics of the notion “teaching method”, which are continuously employed in contemporary scientific discourse. Conclusion. On this basis, it has been summarized that in the last decade the spreading of illogical and contradictory interpretations of pedagogical concepts has caused confusion in the system of basic pedagogi-cal dominants (principles, concepts, and relations). This requires an uncompromising response from leading educationalists and scholars in order to eradicate from Pedagogy, which is a systematized field of knowledge, the imposed contradictory notions, and to prevent the attempts to modify the domestic pedagogical system to conform to foreign standards, which run counter to the pedagogical system of domestic Pedagogy. This study though far from being conclusive, yet proposes several insights into understanding the core of domestic pedagogical notions and provides implications for further research in this domain in terms of conceptual content and pedagogical entities in order to rid domestic Pedagogy of the conceptual disorder that is actively introduced by unknown "experts" into pedagogical information resources.

TRAINING OF A FUTURE TEACHER OF PRESCHOOL ESTABLISHMENTS FOR THE REALIZATION OF AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO PRESCHOOLERS’ EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

The purpose of the article is to reveal the importance of preparation of future preschool teachers for implementation of an integrated approach into children's education and to identify key concepts of integration in which the future pre-school teacher should be competent. Integration as a principle of development of pedagogical theory and practice of preschool education is a leading idea that reflects the harmonious integration among educational lines and as a result creation of a single inseparable educational process and guarantees its implementation the achievement of higher results in the development and upbringing of children of preschool age. Integration as a process involves the direct establishment of harmonious links among the defined systems of integration and the creation of a new holistic education system for preschool children in accordance with the defined result. As a process, integration involves the integration of objects (educational lines, different types of children's activities, forms and methods) and designing a way to obtain the expected result. As a result of the educational activities of the preschool institution, integration does not involve the amount of knowledge, skills and abilities, but the acquired integrative qualities of the child, such as curiosity, activity, independence, responsibility, upbringing, etc. Integration as a result is considered by researchers through the form of its organization in the educational process, namely the possible forms of preschoolers’ integrated learning (projects, holidays, travelling, excursions, business and role-playing games), which immerse the preschooler into learning. In the process of integrated studying with the help of different interdisciplinary links, children’ comprehensive and objective vision of the problems of reality and diverse approaches to their solution are formed. A competent preschool teacher should be ready to implement an integrated approach in the process of their practical activities. This will allow to implement the tasks defined by the normative documents in the field of preschool education for teaching children and the formation of their life competencies.

PARTISIPATIVE APPROACH AS EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FUTURE TEACHERS

The article analyzes the problem of participatory approach to professional training of future teachers in the modern space of education, highlights its theoretical aspects, and outlines the scope of its practical application in the field of preschool education. In particular, the peculiarities of the organiza- tion of the educational process based on participa- tory approach are traced. The authors revealed the peculiarities of the organization of the educational process based on a participatory approach as one of the components of the theoretical and methodological basis for the development of professional competencies of future teachers. This will allow modeling the social content of future professional activity through awareness, acceptance of the principles of participation, which is an alternative to authoritarianism. The authors of the article consider the participatory approach as an educational strategy, the implementation of which allows involving future teachers in making hypothetical management decisions, promotes the formation of initiative, responsibility and independence in solving trivial and non- standard problems in educational and professional activities. The results of the application of a participatory approach in the process of development of profes- sional competencies of future teachers can be a) increase the motivation to learn, job satisfaction; b) disclosure of own potential, primary professional identification; c) satisfaction of the need to achieve, self-realization, self-affirmation; d) the formation of qualification and professional and personal guidelines of consciousness and behavior.

CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS FOR FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN PHYSICAL THERAPY, ERGOTHERAPY

ntroduction. In the process of professional training, there are qualitative changes in the professional development of the individual, because it is during this period that the basic identification characteristics that determine her propensity for the future profession are formed. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to determine the conceptual foundations of pro-fessional training of future specialists in physical therapy, ergotherapy. Methods. Analysis of scientific methodological literature. Results. In the course of the research the three main stages of forming the professional identity of specialists in physical therapy, ergotherapy are distinguished and characterized. Important in shaping the professional identity of future speci-?lists in physical therapy, ergotherapy is involved in specialized trainings, during which the future specialist compares professional value orientations with their own capabilities, realities of professional activity and interpersonal relationships. Due to the factors of cooperation, dialogue, activity–creative approach, individuality and freedom of de-velopment, choice of content and forms of training, approaches have some common features: psychological basis of educational activity of future specialists; focus on the formation of professional qualities; combination, integrated use of components, principles, criteria, learning tools, methods and different technologies. Originality. The basic provisions of the conception of formation of professional identity of future specialists in physical therapy, ergotherapy in higher education institutions are developed. Conclusion. On the basis of the conducted research it is established that at the present stage of development of psychological and pedagogical science methodological and textological material is accumulated, contains various complementary theoretical and practical approaches to the study of professional identity, but differentiates the object of study various aspects of scientific phenomenon and "identity". The organization of vocational training, taking into account the provisions developed, will contribute to the formation of professional identity of future physical therapists and ergotherapists.
