Professional foreign language training of ecologists: method of case-study

The article is devoted to the use of the case method for the purpose of developing professional communication in the process of foreign language training of future ecologists. The work presents the possibilities of this interactive method, the stages of working with the case-study method and practical recommendations are presented. The article provides examples of cases for use in English language classes with students majoring in ecology: Pollution of water bodies and its consequences; Impact of climate change on forest ecosystems; Restoration of destroyed ecosystems; Impact of plastic waste on the marine environment; The impact of the growing urban populations on ecosystems; The role of ecosystems in providing food. The problem of the active use of the case method in classes in institutions of higher education is relevant nowadays, this is due to the fact that the modern educational process aims at the formation of basic competences, among which important places are occupied by professional and communicative skills and mental activity skills, the development of abilities to process a large amount of information. This argument in favor of establishing the case method stems from the requirements for professionalism of any environmental specialist, who must master optimal behavior in various professional and everyday situations that arise in real life. In the article, we proved that in the process of using the case method under the direct guidance of the teacher, the student becomes an active subject of the educational process, which positively affects the formation of foreign language professional communication. In the process of working on the case, one learns new terminology, gets acquainted with new vocabulary, and uses speech clichés. During the presentation of the adopted decision, the correct use of grammatical forms and syntactic constructions is important. Students' speech must comply with all orthographic norms and be stylistically appropriate. The case material should provide the future specialist with opportunities to acquire professional knowledge. Professional knowledge and confidence in the ability to solve tasks are an incentive for the formation of abilities and skills of the English vocational communication. So, we can say that in the context of scientific research, the expediency of using the case method for the purpose of forming the professional and communicative competences of future specialists in ecology during their studies in higher education institutions was substantiated.

The Culture of Student Debate: When not to Argue

Today public speaking as a form of communication calls for the development of actives ways of speaker’s interaction with the audience, with the audience taking on an increasingly active and meaningful participation. In the cultural environment of modern higher education, in universities, student debates are becoming one of the most relevant and popular activities. Basing on the assumption that debate is an effective tool for developing both communicative and speech skills of future professionals in any field of activity focused on social interaction, this study aims to investigate the specifics of the organizing and conducting debates to develop mastery, professionalism, and leader potential of students in the framework of the course of Russian as a second foreign language (RSL). With this approach in mind, we set the following objectives: 1) to clarify the main approaches to the meaning of oral communication and the role of debate in it for the formation of basic competencies of students today; 2) to study the structure of typical units of public speaking; 3) to identify problems students face in the process of verbal communication; 4) to substantiate the advantages of using debates for the development of the necessary general cultural, professional and communicative qualities and skills of a future professional. In its methodology, this study was based on the works in the field of the theory of communication, the language of business communication, the culture of speech, pedagogy, and methods of teaching the Russian language to non-native speakers. The research methods included surveys and interviews, as well as content analysis and case study methods. The study has proved that solving the pedagogical problems of fostering responsibility, independence, and proactive social attitude requires the development of general cultural, research and communication skills, and debates have proved to be an effective form of practicing these skills in the educational process. The communicative culture and the overall training of students for their future professional career means leadership development, and for this cause debates are an effective teaching tool.

The development of students’ basic competencies in foreign language learning through interactive methods

The aim of the study was to identify and compare the level of students’ basic competences. An objective assessment of the ways of development and trends in the development of basic competencies through interactive methods was carried out. The methods and techniques of acquiring the required basic competencies that have been used effectively in the educational process were developed as part of professional and personal development of future specialists. Methods: analytico-synthetic, testing, survey; method of situational modelling; qualitative and quantitative analysis; empirical statistical and mathematical interpretation; functional analysis of research results. Results. On the basis of a theoretical analysis of a scientific problem, an objective and subjective model for diagnosing the level of formation of basic competencies of students was developed. The importance of the author’s analytical considerations and generalizations on the application of objective diagnostic methods is confirmed. The first group of respondents had a sufficient level of basic competences (364.1 points), which is 73.8%. The intellectual and creative segment showed the highest rate in the structure of competencies — 75.1%. The second group of non-linguistic respondents showed a somewhat similar level of Basic Competences (369.9 points = 75.8%), however, showed a relative weakness of the socio-emotional segment (53.5%). Prospects. Further research can be directed towards identifying and developing research methods for many competencies, taking into account the age characteristics of students.

БАЗОВІ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНІХ УЧИТЕЛІВ ПОЧАТКОВОЇ ШКОЛИ ЯК ПЕДАГОГІЧНА ПРОБЛЕМА СУЧАСНОСТІ

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the category of basic competencies of future primary school teachers in modern scientific and pedagogical studies. The current state of elaboration of the problem in scientific and pedagogical sources is generalized; the essence of the concepts “competence”, “competence approach”, “basic competences of future primary school teachers”, “features of basic competences formation” are highlighted. The content of competencies is analyzed on the basis of the educational-professional program of the first (bachelor’s) level of higher education in the field of knowledge 01 Education/Pedagogy in specialty 013 “Primary education” at the pedagogical faculty of Precarpathian National University named after Vasyl Stefanyk. An analysis of these definitions shows that most scholars consider competence to be an integral phenomenon that brings together the knowledge, skills, abilities and experience of future teachers. Scientific sources highlight a variety of competencies that must be mastered by a future primary school teacher while studying at a higher education institution. However, a significant number of concepts defined as basic, distracts higher school teachers and complicates the process of forming the most important competencies for students. According to the author of the article, formation of basic competencies would be more effective if implemented on the basis of didactic principles, namely through: the Педагогічні науки: теорія, історія, інноваційні технології, 2020, № 5–6 (99–100) 160 principle of cordocentrism, characterized by the priority of spiritual and moral dimensions of the educational process over pragmatic and organizational and functional and encourages students to understand pedagogical reality. not only through thinking, but also through the “heart”; the principle of constructive pedagogical interaction, which involves creation of a positive cognitive field in which each subject of the educational process feels comfortable; principles of gamification and early diagnosis and development of professional interests, on the basis of which students develop the ability to create play learning environments in accordance with the personal interests of pupils; the principle of sustainable professional development, introduction of which contributes to the formation of students’ ability to design their own professional image, to outline ways to improve it. The novelty of the author’s approach to this problem is that, taking into account the above principles, the didactic system of basic competencies, combining scientific and emotional components, will be aimed at enhancing creative scientific and pedagogical activities, will have a predictive nature and ensure sustainable professional development of future primary school teachers.
