PECULIARITIES OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Abstract

The peculiarities of project activity of future primary school teachers during professional training in higher education institutions are considered in the article. One of the activities that helps to shape the professionalism of future primary school teachers is project activity, which is an integral part of the work of future professionals during the educational process. The article focuses on ICT as a tool used in project activities. With the help of ICT, future professionals will be able to help create a standalone product project. Therefore, when using ICT in primary school, future primary school teachers should learn to give students the freedom to choose and equip them with the necessary tools. Future primary school teachers should recognize as a core value students’ personalities, their personal and subjective qualities as the basis for organizing the educational process. At the heart of modern education reforms there is not only gaining knowledge at the lessons in primary school , but also students' independent search and project activity. In the course of the research we found that the use of ICT in project activities can be divided into the following blocks: the use of ICT in the creation of projects (information search, typing and description of information found); discussion of projects (network communication); use of ICT in presenting results. Analyzing the processes that contribute to the formation of project competence of future primary school teachers in the process of vocational training, we have identified the following stages of work during the project work in the project activity process: motivational; design; activity-related; reflexive evaluation. The stages of project work proposed by us during the project activity of future elementary school teachers help to shape the project competence of future specialists during vocational training.
