Ways of Independent Development of Pedagogical Competencies of Students in Innovative Activity (The Study Case of Azerbaijani Students in Mathematics and Computer Sciences)

Abstract

Regular innovations in the field of learning technologies are being implemented with the aim of removing educational problems, flexible steps are taken to organize the learning process, and the content and methods of teaching are improved. The research highlights the main problems faced by Azerbaijani education and describes the author's methodological system that searches for their solutions. The purpose of the experiment was to develop the theoretical foundations for independent development of students' pedagogical competencies in the process of innovative activity and to exclude them from experimental verification. Initially, the working hypothesis of the study was formulated, favorable conditions for carrying out the experiment and universities to be experimented with were identified, and computerization was studied in two higher education institutions of the republic. Experimental and control groups were selected, in certain groups approximate equality of the students and the teachers' levels were provided, and the levels of the groups were learned in written and oral ways. Analysis of the results of the experiment has shown that the developed concept can be used in training pre-service and in-service teachers studying mathematics and computer science as it can improve the effectiveness of teaching in innovative activity.
