Development of the Psychological System of Pedagogical Abilities of Students – Future Primary School Teachers

Introduction. Psychological and pedagogical support for the professionalization of a teacher should be based on modern knowledge in the development of pedagogical abilities. The most popular strategy for studying abilities is still the analytical approach, which does not allow to consider abilities as a holistic, continuously developing psychological education. The purpose of the article is to present the results of research into the development of the psychological system of pedagogical abilities of students – future primary school teachers in the context of continuous pedagogical education at secondary school, pedagogical college and pedagogical university. Materials and Methods. The survey involved 201 subjects, including students of the pedagogical class (n = 15), students of the vocational pedagogical college (n = 82), students of the pedagogical university (n = 104). In order to study the psychological system of pedagogical abilities, test methods, questionnaires, self-assessment scales, as well as an analysis of indicators of academic performance were used. The analysis of the psychological system of abilities was made by using systemic indices (coherence, divergence, organization), assessing the homogeneity/ heterogeneity of structures, identifying the basic and leading components of the system. Results. The uneven development of the psychological system of pedagogical abilities at different levels of pedagogical education was shown. It has been established that the development of the system of pedagogical abilities during the period of study at school, college and university cannot be characterized as continuous. Students of the pedagogical class are characterized by a higher organization of the ability system than those in college and university; for college students – their continuous restructuring and a decrease in organization by the end of their studies; for university students – a more stable and progressively developing system of abilities. Qualitative differences in the structural organization of the system are determined by the different contributions of the types of abilities (individual, subjective, personal) to its functioning and achievement of academic results. The organization of the system of abilities of schoolchildren is largely determined by the abilities of an individual, college students – by the abilities of a subject of activity and personality, university students – by the abilities of an individual. Discussion and Conclusion. The conclusions formulated in the research paper serve the basis for the organization of special activities on the purposeful formation of the system of pedagogical abilities in the conditions of continuous pedagogical education.

Model dialogues are innovative means of forming functional and systemic thinking of students

Since 2020, the coronavirus infection has covered the entire globe. Virologists and epidemiologists find it difficult to make predictions about the possibility of its complete eradication. This means an increase in the probability of the transition of educational and pedagogical processes mainly to distance education. The necessity of developing appropriate effective pedagogical technologies is actualized. This is facilitated by the current trend of "digitalization" of society, equipping educational institutions with information technology, and all students with personal computers. The national intellectual cores that make up the country's immune system-culture, science, education, public administration – are subjected to total information and network influence. The most vulnerable category is young people who are immersed in the information and digital web through all sorts of gadgets, who do not have reliable criteria for separating the grains from the chaff. The human brain is a kind of biological computer, a body of «local» self-government, designed to provide intellectual immunity, functions of self-analysis, self-criticism, self-assessment, self-organization, self-regulation, etc. Since a person is born without «software», the main task of all educational institutions is to provide students with cultural (software) means of effective correct independent thinking. In the conditions of market uncertainty, the coronavirus pandemic, the absence of an officially articulated national idea, national interests and ideology in Kazakhstan, the need to shift the focus of educational policy in the country from subject-programmed training to the cultivation of abilities for reflexive, functional-system thinking and interaction is becoming more and more clearly realized. From the methodological point of view, problems exist only in thinking and are associated with the lack of means of organized thinking, the corresponding abilities of a person to apply these means. Given the forced transition to remote, distance education, the nearest problem that needs to be resolved is the lack of effective pedagogical means for forming students' abilities for reflexive, functional-systemic thinking and interaction. Purpose is substantiation and development of author's model dialogues that indirectly contribute to the formation of students' abilities for reflexive, functional-system thinking and interaction in the conditions of distance education. Methods: model dialogues constructed using the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete or the method of dialectical deduction and the method of converting concrete images of objects based on their abstract foundations. The given samples of the author's model dialogues demonstrate an innovative way of cultivating reflexive analytical, pedagogical and managerial abilities of students with different focuses.

Development of Students' Pedagogical Abilities through Socio-Psychological Training

The research is devoted to the study of the effect of socio-psychological training on the development of pedagogical abilities in rising teachers. The study involved 88 full-time five-year students of the Xxxx Academy (Moscow) and four-year students of Xxxx University (Taldykorgan). The goal was achieved based on a system of special tasks with the involvement of socio-psychological trainings. The experiment and research were carried out for 6 months. The standard devia-tion in the sample and the Student's t-test were studied for the experimental and control groups. The result of the post-test is the opposite; thus, the mean value of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group. The study re-vealed that there is a weak positive relationship between age and pedagogical abil-ities (r <0.2). The results of the study also indicate a positive correlation between gender and pedagogical abilities (r> 0.3). Thus, in accordance with the goal set, it was determined that socio-psychological training improves students' pedagogical abilities. The results of this study can be recommended to teachers of universities and training centers, as well as pedagogical students.

Peculiarities of Forming Students' Motivation to Music-Teaching Activity in Higher Education Institutions (HEI)

Motivation is one of the most important factors (along with abilities, knowledge, skills and abilities) that ensures the success of music teaching. Becoming a successful teacher of art disciplines is closely related to the internal needs of his self-realization in professional activities, self-awareness in this state. The pedagogical profession requires from the teacher the formed need for artistic and educational activity, awareness of its importance for the spiritual development of society; high level of ideological, humanitarian and aesthetic culture; developed professional and pedagogical abilities, deep professional knowledge and skills, experience of artistic and creative pedagogical activity. The artistic needs of students arise and develop in the process of music-educational activities, which should be based on their positive emotional attitude to it. It is proved that in the process of educational activity a system of mental actions of reproductive and productive nature is formed, which is self-regulated and self-organized by the individual. Any activity, and in this case educational, is affected by certain incentives that become the driving force of student activity. Such incentives are needs, interests, beliefs, values, ideals, forming the motivation to learn. Along with the abilities, knowledge, and skills that ensure the success of teaching, motivation also includes emotional and value attitudes, sustained interest and inclination of the future teacher to pedagogical work; the need for active influence on the moral and emotional, intellectual and volitional spheres of the student's personality.

Heuristic-based method for conflict discovery of shared control between humans and autonomous systems - A driving automation case study

The paper proposes a heuristic-based prospective method to discover possible conflicts of shared control between humans and autonomous systems. This method adapts the triplet Competence-Availability-Possibility-to-act (CAP) that represents the autonomy characteristics of decision-makers such as humans or autonomous systems. The CAP-based autonomy is decomposed into several scenarios of shared control in a workspace or between workspaces. Conflicting decisions between humans and autonomous systems are conflicts of autonomy relating to competence, availability, or possibility to act and are determined by applying heuristics adapted from deductive, inductive, abductive, and counterfactual reasoning principles. This heuristic-based method comprises four main steps: verification of shared control, identification of discovery parameters, discovery of possible conflicting decisions, and validation of these conflicts. It was applied to a driving automation case study involving two autonomous systems: Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Automated Cruise Control (ACC). The conflicts of autonomy identified determine possible confusions between the reasoning of a driver and that of an autonomous system, sometimes resulting in dangerous situations. These were validated and analyzed in two ways by drivers with at least two years of driving experience: during an investigation to obtain qualitative feedback from 43 drivers and during a tutorial on human reliability assessment involving 17 people. The results demonstrate the advantage of the heuristic-based method to detect possible conflicting decisions or sources of conflicts between humans and machines. The approach proposed will consequently be of assistance in the design of shared control processes between humans and autonomous systems through the implementation of technical learning or pedagogical abilities, the improvement of alarm systems to control human attention or avoid confusion between the intentions of humans and machines, or the development of training programs or driving lessons to increase user awareness of such conflicts.

TEACHER COMPETENCE FOR THE MUSIC AND DANCE CURRICULUM IN GHANA

Teaching Music and Dance in Ghanaian primary schools has been a responsibility of the generalist teachers, who are usually ignorant about the subject and therefore, cannot interpret the Music and Dance syllabus. These teachers usually received their music training during the few years of their initial training at the Colleges of Education. Considering the specialized nature of music, we have raised concerns about the quality of music training education offered in the primary schools, especially with regards to teacher competence in the content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and the general level of musicianship. Through an inductive research procedure, using five newly trained teachers posted to primary schools in Winneba, this case study, rooted in the Confucian philosophical underpinning, sought to investigate how the Music and Dance aspect of the Creative Arts curriculum was being handled by the generalist teachers. We also explored various ways teachers could be empowered to achieve success in teaching the subject. The study revealed that the generalist teachers did not possess adequate content and pedagogical abilities to teach Music and Dance. They therefore, resorted to unconventional ways of engaging learners which could not promote conceptualization of musical knowledge, skills and attitudes among learners. Our recommendations then included extension of duration for the pre-service music and dance curriculum, encouraging more student-teachers to major in music and dance specialty teacher preparation and participation in periodic in-service training programmes, through which they could be equipped with the necessary competences to augment their output.
