QUALITY OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN POSTGRADUATE STUDY

The innovative activity of the lecturer required an understanding of the content and means in a continuous system of preparation for professional activity at a university that integrates two functions – a lecturer and a researcher. The traditional training of postgraduate students is expressed by the predominance of its scientific component and the result in the form of a thesis. The reform of the Russian educational system made adjustments to postgraduate training as the third level of higher education. The results of research indicate a low quality of postgraduate students’ readiness to organize scientific search in the field of specific science. It is noted that postgraduate students studying in the field of “theory and methodology of professional education” acquire methodological competence by mastering a significant number of psychological and pedagogical disciplines and pedagogical practice during the first year of study, but experience difficulties in organizing scientific research due to unformed methodological competence. The article summarizes the experience of postgraduate training in the logic of the continuous development of professionalism in the system of intramural advanced training.
