A SPECIAL COURSE “METHODS OF ORGANIZATION OF THE PRE-PROFILE TRAINING IN CHEMISTRY OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS” AS A COMPONENT OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF A FUTURE TEACHER OF CHEMISTRY

Abstract

The article reviews the problem of training of a future chemistry teacher for the implementation of the pre-profile training of secondary school students. Since there are only few researches in the scientific and pedagogical literature related to the training of a foreign language teacher and a teacher of physics for a specific type of activity, it can be stated that this issue is insufficiently explored. The problem of training of a chemistry teacher for the implementation of the pre-profile training of secondary school students is suggested to resolve through the development and implementation of the special course “Methods of organization of the pre-profile training in chemistry of secondary school students” into the teaching and learning process at a higher educational establishment. The special course as a mode of study has sufficient opportunities to improve the efficiency of training of future specialists due to its applied nature, which allows to systematize and deepen knowledge in one or more disciplines and to develop specific skills.The article defines the content and structure of the special course “Methods of organization of the pre-profile training in chemistry of secondary school students” as a component of the professional training of a future teacher of chemistry. The purpose and objectives of the special course of study is also discussed, the basic knowledge and skills which students will master while studying are described.The content of the special course “Methods of organization of the pre-profile training in chemistry of secondary school students” consists of five topics: “Theoretical basics of the pre-profile training of secondary school students”; “Elective courses as an integral part of organization pre-profile training in chemistry of secondary school students”; “Program and methodical supply of the elective chemistry courses”; “Monitoring, assessment and correction of knowledge in the context of the pre-profile training in chemistry of students”; “Informational work and subject orientation are the components of the pre-profile training”.A thematic plan of a special course teaching is given, the themes of practical classes, individual teaching and research tasks and assignments for teaching practice are highlighted.
