Reflection in action of the HEI lecturers using digital tools

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of the balance of development of reflective skills among higher education lecturers in the process of scientific and pedagogical activity. The analysis is conducted in two directions: reflection on the activity (reflection of the result) and reflection in the activity (reflection of the process of obtaining the result). The authors present an analysis of two aspects of reflection on the example of teaching language disciplines in the specialty "Foreign Language: Two Foreign Languages" on the basis of JSC "Kostanay Regional University named after A. Baitursynov". A total of 12 teachers from higher education institutions participated in the initial phase of the research. An algorithm for implementing the balance of development of the reflective skills of HEI (higher educational institution) lecturers has been developed. The article presents the initial and intermediate results of the participation of the HEI lecturers in the program "Media Literacy - Reflection on / in action", built on the basis of a massive open online course of the Coursera web platform. The available results obtained in the course of the study indicate the presence of the imbalance in the development of skills for reflecting the process of obtaining a result and reflecting the result itself on the basis of digital resources. The presented program has a balanced influence on the formation of two types of reflection of HEI lecturers - reflection on activity (the effective, control and measuring / assessing component of the pedagogical activity, the aspect of assessment, self-assessment, peer assessment of teaching results), and reflection of the activity itself (methodological and technological component of pedagogical activity, aspect of stage-by-stage planning, forecasting, mapping and foresight of the prospects for the development of the process of implementing the pedagogical activity itself in the higher educational institutions).
