PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE IN THE SYSTEM OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF INFORMATICS TEACHERS

Abstract

The importance of practical training of students, namely, pedagogical practice, in the process of obtaining the qualification «teacher of computer science» under the educational-professional program «Secondary education (Informatics)» is described. Current scientific and methodological works on the researched problem are generalized. The educational-professional programs of the first (bachelor's) level are analyzed, according to which future computer science teachers study on the content of different types of practices. The adaptive, didactic, developmental, diagnostic, prognostic, communicative and reflective functions of practice are presented. Propaedeutic and industrial pedagogical practices are singled out, each of which is aimed at the formation of professional competencies and allows students to realize themselves as teachers. The diagram shows the relationship between academic disciplines and propaedeutic practice on the example of the educational program of Rivne State University for the Humanities. The tasks of practice in a secondary education institution are specified. Pedagogical practice is presented as: a method of teaching aimed at consolidating awareness of psychology, pedagogy, computer science and methods of teaching; a means of developing students’ personal and professionally significant qualities; a form of combining the educational activities of students with the pedagogical work of a computer science teacher in a secondary school. It is proposed to implement pedagogical practices in various forms from the first year of study in a higher education institution, combining practical, educational and cognitive, research activities, using the results obtained in course and qualification projects, individual educational and research tasks from the cycle of disciplines.
