FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS’ PROFESSIONAL CULTURE FORMATION IN THE COLLEGES OF ARTS CULTURE BY MEANS OF DISCIPLINES OF DECORATIVE AND APPLIED DIRECTION ORIENTATION

Abstract

Analysis of culture as an anthropological phenomenon shows that culture is congruent with human beings. Historically, the cultural phenomenon has always reflected processes related to education, enlightenment, formation, and development of a person. Without education and training, without the active transmission of new achievements of human culture to new generations, the movement of history would be impossible. Therefore, the article updates the expediency of using profile subjects from the specialty «Decorative and Applied Arts» as a component of attracting first-year students of art educational institutions to the formation of their own professional culture. The main art subjects and tasks (from simple to complex) are introduced into the educational context of future artist-decorative and applied arts teacher training are considered. Students are involved in working on the material together with the teacher. The student learns all the subtleties of mastery in practical work. In the mentioned direction, the concepts of «competence» and «mastery» are distinguished. It is stated that professional skill involves comprehensive knowledge of production or any other professional process, the ability to implement it, to set it in motion. Since the development of culture and education are processes that are carried out mainly in parallel, synchronously, and interconnected, the essence of the meaning of the technology of situational learning (case method), which consists in modeling a specific situation that occurs in regional professional practice, has been clarified. Based on that, a didactic package of tasks for solving a certain issue is developed. The case method for first-year students is specific learning situations that are specially developed based on actual material for further study in classes.
