Training of teachers for engineering education in Russian schools

Abstract

For the scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to train personnel since school days. With this approach to engineering education, the training of highly qualified teachers becomes especially relevant. These “technology teachers of the XXI century” should not only be motivated to work with students, but also demonstrate modern digital, engineering and technological competencies. The following research methods were used: analysis of scientific papers on the problems of engineering education in schools; the concept of teaching the subject area "Technology" in Russian schools that implement the main general education programs, the latest educational and methodological complexes for technology; analysis of the legal framework and systematization of the leading normative documents determining changes in the professional and pedagogical education of technology teachers; analysis and generalization of the author’s experience in the development of basic professional educational programs; pedagogical experience in training future technology and informatics teachers, as well as experience in teaching technology to schoolchildren; analysis of the impact of digitalization of education and professional activity on the transformation of the ways of their implementation, as well as the processes of interpersonal interaction and professional identification; diagnostics according to L. B. Schneider "Professional Identity", questionnaires and descriptive statistics; generalization and interpretation of research results. A detailed analysis of psychological and pedagogical research, regulatory documentation in the field of technology education allowed the authors to identify the main conditions for the training of technology teachers for the implementation of engineering education in secondary schools in Russia.
