Abstract. The article reflects the
contradictory nature of the trends observed in the development of
higher education, it should be noted that the language faculty of
the pedagogical university has a complex set of problems: how to
bring the theory and practice of teaching in line with the needs
and capabilities of today, how to preserve the unconditionally
positive traditions in the field of professional training of future
teachers and implement the ideas of pluralism and humanization of
education, how to provide society with specialists in the
conditions of the market element, etc.
Keywords: pedagogical
practice, institution, innovative
activity, methodological documentation.
A modern school is impossible
without teachers reflecting on their own work, promoting it and
making this occupation a priority factor in the education of
pupils. The society is interested in a professionally competent
teacher who has great creative potential, a high level of spiritual
and moral qualities, a new pedagogical thinking and a new vision of
the school, the student and the whole surrounding world. Today, the
issue of upbringing and education of a free, humane, spiritual and
practical person is put forward in the first place. In order to
possess all these qualities, a person must have a need for
self-education and self-development. Another great Russian teacher
K.D. Ushinsky said: "A teacher should be kind, but without
weakness, demanding, but without pickiness, allow a joke, but not
turn a serious matter into a joke." These words make you think,
urge you to recognize that parenting is a very serious and
responsible job that can make a person
happy.
Pedagogical practice is
exactly the kind of work that stimulates self-education and
professional training of a future teacher. It is the practice that
helps the student to master design, communicative, gnostic,
research, integrative competencies. Pedagogical practice makes it
possible to transfer from the role of a student to an unusual and
unusual role of a teacher. Anyone who has been in the role of a
student can realize how difficult or, on the contrary, accessible
and easy it will be for him in a new professional field only when
he tries himself in it. It is the pedagogical practice that helps
the student to understand the general theoretical base with which
he got acquainted in the learning process and gives him the
opportunity to apply his knowledge in
practice.
The process of professional
formation of students - future teachers in pedagogical educational
institutions is unthinkable without educational pedagogical
practice. Emphasizing its importance, the famous Russian teacher
P.P. Blonsky wrote that "pedagogy cannot be taught by books and
books. Practice is also necessary, but not copying (such practice
is murderous), but creative and
conscious."
Pedagogical practice for a
student is a very difficult and responsible stage on the way to the
teaching profession. In practice, the student's position is
characterized by a dual character: he is a participant in two types
of activity simultaneously - educational and professional, acts as
an object (in educational) and a subject (in professional),
reproducing (in educational) and creative (in professional),
leading (educational) and auxiliary (professional). The problem of
the student's professional development in the course of pedagogical
practice is complicated by the fact that the still incomplete
educational activity is superimposed on the pedagogical one, which
has fundamentally different means of implementation (goal, motive,
means, control, evaluation). During the practice period, when
students enter a new social role and get directly acquainted with
professional and pedagogical activity, it is very important to
inspire them with the idea that "creativity is not some separate
side of pedagogical work, but its most essential and necessary
characteristic", to form their attitude in each case of school It
is necessary to go beyond the scope of normative activities and
search for non-traditional ways to solve educational
problems.
Professional pedagogical
activity requires deep knowledge in various fields of science. The
content of higher pedagogical education consists of such blocks as
cultural, psychological and pedagogical, subject and
methodological. Their unity and interaction provide a high
pedagogical culture and pedagogical skills of the future teacher,
is the basis for the formation of pedagogical abilities. The
transition from one social group - students to another - teaching,
mastering a new social role, working in an unfamiliar team, of
which they did not become members, changing the usual rhythm of
life are accompanied by certain difficulties of the
socio-psychological and pedagogical plan. In real pedagogical
practice, teachers, and especially students, face two difficulties
of a fundamental nature. The first is connected with the
integration of knowledge from various subject blocks (cultural,
psychological, pedagogical, subject) in solving a specific
pedagogical task. For example, it is impossible to develop
pedagogical measures to overcome the difficulty of educating a
student without knowing its physiological, psychological and
pedagogical reasons. Therefore, when solving this problem, students
should be able to integrate knowledge from these areas of
scientific knowledge into practical activities. As a rule, such
integration is associated with great difficulties for them, which
are a consequence of the imperfection of pedagogical education. The
traditional subject system of pedagogical education, as it were,
breaks the unified educational process into parts, which prevents
the formation of a holistic view of the process of forming a
child's personality. To this is added the fact that the same
subject is taught at different faculties in different courses and
with different amounts of study time.
The second difficulty is
connected with the translation of theoretical knowledge into the
practice of solving emerging problems. It is unlikely that
students, having mastered theoretical knowledge in lectures and
practical classes, will come to school and translate them into the
language of practical actions. In order to form the ability to
apply theoretical knowledge in solving practical problems, it is
necessary to provide in the content of training the main activities
that will be needed to work with this
knowledge.
Therefore, the process of
professional formation of a student-future teacher should model the
structure of pedagogical activity as much as possible. Therefore,
while studying at the university, it is necessary to give the
learning process a practice-oriented character, linking the
necessary knowledge with real school problems, so that in practice
students perceive theoretical knowledge through the prism of
practical problems. In practice, such an approach is little
practiced, students, having generally good theoretical knowledge in
the field of pedagogy, psychology, teaching methods, experience
serious difficulties when applying them in the educational
process.
The transition from
theoretical to practical training in the process of pedagogical
activity, a look at the work of the teacher and the school, as they
say, "from the inside", can make certain adjustments to the initial
ideas about the teacher's profession. Pedagogical practice is of
great importance in the professional training of a future teacher
and traditionally solves the following
tasks:
•
develops the professional
qualities of the personality of the future
teacher;
•
develops pedagogical and
methodological thinking of students as the ability to apply
theoretical knowledge to solve educational and educational tasks in
the conditions of various types of
schools;
•
summarizes the professional
skills necessary for the successful implementation of educational
activities;
•
develops the ability to
independently observe and analyze the educational process at
school, as well as forms ways of self-planning lessons based on the
requirements of methodology, pedagogy and
psychology;
•
fosters a steady interest and
love for the teaching profession;
•
promotes the development of
educational values through practical
activities;
•
performing the functions of a
class teacher;
•
develops a creative approach
to pedagogical activity;
•
introduces to innovative
activity through the teacher's work experience, through his
creative workshop.
Pedagogical practice is a
factor of personality development. In activity, a person, one way
or another, forms and manifests his inner content, determines his
special place in the world and asserts himself in it. In
pedagogical practice, it is possible to identify factors that
hinder the creative activity of the future teacher. These factors
include:
•
the student's weak
self-confidence,
•
strong attachment to certain
schemes,
•
installation on a given way of
organizing the educational process,
•
fear of control by the
methodologist of the department, subject teacher,
classmates,
•
fear of making a mistake and
therefore being misunderstood,
•
state of increased
anxiety,
•
excessive concentration of
attention on oneself, one's experiences, interests, etc. It
is
necessary to teach students to
neutralize these factors. Pedagogical practice should be of a
personality-oriented, creative nature and contribute to the
development of an individual style of pedagogical
activity.
The correct organization of
practice is one of the most important ways to prepare students for
professional activity in the conditions of constantly and rapidly
changing realities of our life, contributes to the deepening and
expansion of theoretical knowledge, the formation of skills to use
normative, psychological, pedagogical and methodological
documentation. There is a formation and development of independent
activity of students, creative initiative, responsibility and
organization. Therefore, the main result of the practice should be
the firm conviction of students in the correctness of their choice
- to become a teacher, to devote themselves to the most humane
profession - the education of the younger
generation.
