METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ORGANIZATION OF MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION OF FUTURE TEACHER

Abstract

The important characteristic of the future teacher in the higher pedagogical educational institution is theoretical knowledge of multicultural education and practical skills necessary for the successful professional activity. Therefore, the efficiency of the cognition process when studying disciplines aimed at multicultural education of the future teacher in the higher educational institution is essential and depends entirely on the cognitive activity of the student. The achievement of this goal depends not only on the content of studies but also on the fact what methods and techniques of teaching are chosen for the organization of the process of multicultural education.We have analyzed most common classifications of teaching methods. We have found that the classification proposed by Yu. K. Babanskiy is appropriate in the choice of teaching methods for the discipline "Multicultural Education of the Future Teacher in the Higher Education Institution". Accordingly, we have selected and characterized the following three groups of methods: methods for the organization and conducting of the educational and cognitive activity; methods for the stimulation and motivation of the educational and cognitive activity; methods for control and self-control of the educational and cognitive activity. In addition, we have worked on the training in the development of critical thinking that involves the use of such methods and techniques as: the method of cluster analysis; the method of the use of questions which helps to develop critical thinking («Bloom's Camomile»); techniques for the analysis of information quality (separation of judgments, assumptions and assertions; use of technology of effective reading (INSERT), and the like.
