REALIZATION OF THE TUTOR ACCOMPANIMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SELF-EMPLOYED WORK OF FOREIGN STUDENTS IN THE HIGHER TECHNICAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

Abstract

The article considers and theoretically substantiates the necessity and feasibility of the implementation of tutor support during the organization of independent work of foreign students in the higher technical educational institution. The basic ways of construction and improvement of elements of independent studying of educational material in the context of self-improvement of professional skills of a personality are determined. The main factors influencing the successful performance of independent work by foreign students in technical universities are analyzed. The specific pedagogical means of organization and management of independent activity of foreign students in higher technical educational institutions are studied. The interpretation of the concept of “tutor” in the domestic and foreign pedagogical practice is considered. The content of the tasks of the tutor-teacher, who works directly with foreign students, is analyzed in detail. It is proved that a tutor at a higher technical educational institution creates an educational sphere that allows a foreign student not only to acquire knowledge and skills, but also to solve real problems in his educational activity, to create a comfortable and convenient mode of work for him, especially during the initial stages of adaptation. The author emphasizes that this new method of successful cooperation between the teacher-tutor and foreign citizens who are students of Ukrainian universities is quite optimal and effective in terms of reforming the educational process in higher education, although it requires improvement and some adaptation to the system of higher education in Ukraine.
