Системний підхід до формування екологічної компетентності майбутніх учителів біології у процесі фахової підготовки

Abstract

The article defined the sense of the systematic approach to the ecological competence development of future biology teachers. The article revealed the specifics of this approach implementation into the professional training of pedagogical majors’ students of higher educational institutions. Based on the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature of domestic and foreign scientists, the pedagogical system of ecological competence development of future teachers is presented as a complicated, dynamic complex of subordinate and interconnected structural and functional components aimed at developing an ecologically competent personality. The following components of the studied system were found out: purpose, content, stages, technologies and results. The separation of functional blocks of the development system of students’ eco-competence of higher pedagogical education was justified as follows: conceptual-methodological (purpose, tasks, research concept, methodological approaches, pedagogical principles, regularities); subject-object (participants of the educational process, their interaction in the context of the functioning of the system); contextual (the content of ecologically oriented professional training); organizational-procedural (forms, methods, means, pedagogical technologies of development of the person’s set qualities); evaluative-effective (diagnosis of the levels of the specified competence development, the result of the system functioning). It was found out that the systematic approach allows identifying the components of the system of ecological competence development of future biology teachers, to trace its order and coherence of their interaction; to understand their interdependence and being mutually caused, the interaction of the subjects of the educational process, to model this system. The author emphasized that the synergetic combination of systemic and other approaches (competence, activity, axiological, personality-oriented, reflective and ecological-humanistic) is the prism that selects and structures the appropriate forms, methods and means of students' environmental competence development, as well as the content of professional training in the context of the competency approach.
