Професійна підготовка фахівця соціономічного профілю: іноземна мова для психологів

Abstract

The article analyzes the content of educational programs in English for psychologists for compliance with the modern realities of the educational process and the demands of postmodern society. The purpose of this study is to analyze the known forms and organizational and methodological conditions of training psychologists in the professional literature, in particular, regarding the training of future psychologists to solve consulting activities. For this, the method of system-structural analysis, descriptive-analytical and typological methods are applied. It is claimed that modern educational programs are more than ever a field of combination, cooperation and contradictions between traditional and modern principles, forms, methods, means of education. Given the processes of European integration in Ukraine, the need for a radical update of educational programs, approaches and methods in the sense of connection with practical activities and everyday life, in accordance with the principles of interactivity, digitalization, continuous learning and self-education, etc. is recognized. In order to form the key competencies of the modern age, traditional forms, means, and methods of training specialists in the socio-economic profile need to be changed. It is about increasing the number of practical classes, strengthening international ties, further active use of multimedia educational materials, case method and means of socio-psychological interactive theater, introduction of new topics on intercultural communication and cognitive biases. Emphasis is placed on the expression of forms of independent work of students and strengthening of international ties. However, the question of finding the optimal balance between traditional (classical) and new approaches in the educational process, in particular in curricula, remains open.
