Technology of Pedagogical Workshops in Professional Education

Abstract

The article deals with the process of organizing and using pedagogical workshops in vocational education. Several types of workshops were singled out (workshop discussions of problems, creative workshops, workshops of pedagogical interaction). The organization of creative pedagogical workshops is described in detail, since creativity plays one of the most important roles in a competence-based approach. After all, modern education is designed to create an independent highly qualified professional who can apply a creative non-standard approach to the solution of any professional problem. This determines its competitiveness in the labor market. Also, the definition of the concept of a “pedagogical workshop” was established as well as the scheme of the process which takes place in the creative workshop was revealed. An algorithm for its operation is proposed where several stages are singled out. A pedagogical workshop is a form of learning in which conditions for students to learn about knowledge arise and new experience through independent or collective discovery are proposed. As the basis of the opening is creative activity. The article is based on the proposition that the teacher not only transmits a certain amount of knowledge and skills, he creates an algorithm of actions through which the creative process unfolds. This introduces the student to independent creative activity which gives a sense of the significance and success of the student.
