TO THE PROBLEM OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES OF ENGLISH TEACHERS IN THE CONDITIONS OF DISTANCE WORK

Abstract

The high need for research competence of foreign language teachers has become more relevant in the context of distance learning. The problem has put forward a number of important issues, the solution of which largely depends on training foreign languages (FL) teachers at universities to use information communication technologies (ICT) in the research process. In this regard, it is necessary, to pay attention to motivation and identification of the problems in formation of this competence. The following methods were used to assess the readiness to teachers’ research activity: axiological, emotional-motivational, cognitive, behavioral and control- evaluative. The article examines the importance of research skills as the type of skills that contribute to the development of the cognitive and creative orientation of the teacher's personality. The paper presents the main problems associated with the formation and development of research skills and discusses their further resolution. This article discusses the main problems and criteria for determining readiness for scientific research and ways to solve them. Key words: research competence; distance work; pedagogical conditions; research activity; motivation.
