Abstract

The article deals with the process of diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development. The need to develop a system of diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development is justified by the need to develop students ’ components of research competence specified in the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education (FSES HE). The system of activity of the modern teacher of preschool education involves not only implementation of education and training of children, but also organization and conduct of research activities with pupils, elementary preparation of preschoolers for implementation of the analyzed activities in the future which justifies the need for diagnostics of future personnel educators’ research skills development in the process of their professional training in high school. The success of analyzed skills of future teachers’ development cannot be determined without diagnostic operations to identify the level of specialists’ research competence development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to solve the problem of criteria and indicators; determination the levels of research skills and their characteristics development. The aim of the research is realized by applying methods of pedagogical diagnostics, analysis and generalization. Practical and theoretical novelty of the study is justified by the fact that in its course, methods of selection and compilation of diagnostic tools, principles of implemented diagnostic operations and pedagogical conditions for their implementation are determined and a universal algorithm of actions for the use of diagnostic tools is developed. It allows determining the objective level of diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development in order to imperfect it by adjusting and improving the whole methodological system. The results of the study allowed justifying the effectiveness of the developed system of pedagogical diagnostics which allows using it in future in determining diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development.

The need to develop a special methodological system for diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development, in our opinion [1], is justified by the possibility of resolving contradictions between the requirements of teaching and research activities and the existing level of students' readiness for independent research activities; between the potential possibilities of creative training of specialists in higher pedagogical institutions and their insufficient implementation; between the need to improve the level of readiness for educational research activities of future educators and the lack of a scientifically based system for their training [17]

Summary

A problem statement

In the system of vocational education of future preschool teachers, one of the most important content lines of training is research skills development [16]. The need to develop a special methodological system for diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development, in our opinion [1], is justified by the possibility of resolving contradictions between the requirements of teaching and research activities and the existing level of students' readiness for independent research activities; between the potential possibilities of creative training of specialists in higher pedagogical institutions and their insufficient implementation; between the need to improve the level of readiness for educational research activities of future educators and the lack of a scientifically based system for their training [17]. We will reveal the essence of diagnostic operations to determine the level of skills development that can be used in higher educational institutions in the implementation of professional training of future teachers of preschool education [2]
