INVOLVING OF TRAINEES-FUTURE TEACHERS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN THE DISCIPLINE

Abstract

Introduction:The project activity in professional training of future teachers of vocational training ensures its ability to effectively solve pedagogical tasks, participate in teamwork, develop educational systems. The requirements of the future specialist's readiness for the project activity are reflected in the GEF and in the professional standard. This determines the relevance of involving future teachers of vocational training in project activities when mastering disciplines.Materials and methods:Experimental work on involving students in the project activities was carried out in three stages. At first, they had experience of participating in different types of project activities, the second involved work on engaging in project activities, and on the third, the effectiveness of involvement in project activities was assessed. At all stages of the study, methods of observation and generalization of pedagogical experience and questioning were used.Results:The first stage revealed the experience of participation in the project activity (the students took part in the development of the content and the project), the sources of difficulties for the students in the project activity (related to the search for ideas, practical implementation of the project and evaluation of its results) obtaining meaningful results and developing teamwork skills). At the second stage, methodical support of the project activity was developed within the framework of the discipline; experimental work in this direction was carried out. At the third stage, the trainees called the skills they perceived as new (to conduct assessment and self-evaluation of the results of the project work, to apply in ICT projects and on-line resources, etc.), indicated the existence of a strong relationship between the gained experience of the project activity and future professional activity, showed a decrease in the share of difficulties in the project work.Discussion and Conclusions:conclusions were drawn about the significant pedagogical potential for involving learners in the project activity in the discipline, provided that the quality of the methodical study of its content and the provision of project assignments at each stage with future professional activity are provided.
