FORMING THE FUTURE TEACHER’S METHODOLOGICAL COMPETENCE BY USING THE PROJECT TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the students’ methodological training for the professional activity in the context of forming the New Ukrainian primary school. The author considers the implementing of the project technology into the educational process as one of the factors that positively influences its effectiveness.The relevance of the problem is determined by the social requirements for the formation of a creative personality in the system of the modern educational space, which, unlike the executor person, could independently and unconventionally think, boldly generate original ideas, construct his own life strategy.The leading idea was embodied in one of the priorities of the New Ukrainian School: the comprehensive development of the individual’s personality of the student, his talents, abilities, competencies, creativity, curiosity. New values and guidelines for education determine the choice of teaching methods, among which the benefits are provided by active and interactive pedagogical technologies. A vivid example is the project activity, which allows the most successful implementation of the competence training, based on activity and personality oriented approaches.The study draws attention to the fact that an important role in the formation of a young person’s creative personality is played by a competently oriented teacher who is ready to form the primary schoolchildren’s subject competence in Nature Study. A university teacher is claimed to create the appropriate conditions for such preparation.The author gives an essential characteristic of the key concepts of the study – “methodological competence of primary school teachers of Nature Study”, “project method of teaching”. Exclusive attention is paid to the technological map of the project activity “Ukraine on the map of the world. The nearest neighbours of our country” simulated by the author, which attracted the third-course students. The mechanism and peculiarities of the organization and implementation of the project technology into the process of studying the natural educational branch are described. Particular emphasis is placed on the fact that such work is reliable in preparation for the conducting of a similar work in the 4th grade, when primary schoolchildren study the topic “Nature of Ukraine”.Conclusions about the expediency of using the project method in higher education are made; it acts as an effective means of forming the future primary school teacher’s methodological competence, developing his or her cognitive interest, autonomy, intellectual abilities, forming professionally important personality traits. It enables each student to engage in an active cognitive process, to identify abilities in group collaboration, and to increase motivation for learning.
