PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING INTEGRATION OF SPECIALISTS IN AGRARIAN SPHERE

Abstract

The research subject is future agrarians integrated professional training. Research methods: systematic references analysis; concept research; modeling; pedagogical experience generalization; scientific investigation, data analysis, discussion, students servey, diagnostic testing methods; qualitative and quantitative analyses of research results. The research purpose is to justify the pedagogical conditions for improving the integrated vocational training quality of students and to formulate the specified goals for future agrarians vocational training. It is proved that one of the promising ways for improving the training of specialists by approaching European standards is pedagogical integration. That is why interdisciplinary links of an integrative nature between the four cognitive blocks: social; mathematical; natural; disciplines related to the main branches of agriculture (crop production, animal husbandry, agricultural mechanization) are inserted into the content of training future agrarians. It is proved that under these conditions social, mathematical or professionallyoriented disciplines function as system-forming factors. The pedagogical conditions for the social, natural-mathematical and professional-oriented disciplines integration are considered as a set of interrelated circumstances of the pedagogical process necessary to create a complete training, which implementation provides training of highly qualified specialists at the lowest cost. The article describes using multimedia experience in professional training. Multimedia learning principles are considered. The possibilities of e-textbooks as a means of effective learning in traditional and innovative education systems are also analyzed. Didactic requirements for the creation of this teaching tool are defined. Electronic textbooks “Higher Mathematics” and “Political Science” are presented. The introduction necesssity of educational mixed and distance forms in the specialists’ professional training, according to the current social needs is justified. The interaction and integrity problem of three components such as organizational forms, didactic process and qualification of teachers is considered. The conclusion concerning the training process optimization is made, based on the undertaken generalization. The pedagogical conditions analyses for improving the quality of professional training of students allowed to formulate their main groups, such as the following: naturalmathematical, social and professionally-oriented knowledge of agricultural profile system formation on the basis of an integrative approach; problematic approach to structuring the content of education usage; information and communication technologies and multimedia means usage; formation of individual educational tendencies on the basis of educational mixed forms; distance learning introduction; focusing on the synergetic paradigm of education, which is closely related to the integration and systematization processes of the content of education, its accessibility. The research enabled to formulate the certain goals of future agrarians professional training and ,namely to master their general and special knowledge, the ability to adapt professional knowledge to the agricultural education requirements; to ensure continuity in the study of general and professionally-oriented disciplines of agricultural profile; integration of natural-mathematical, social and special agricultural knowledge and skills in professional activity; creative abilities development of agrarians on the basis of integrative, problem and activity approaches in educational process.
