Characteristics and Principles of Resource-oriented Teaching

Author(s): Olena Shtepa / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

This article addresses the problem of professional training of future psychologists. It is assumed that it is possible to find an optimal correlation between the acquisition of special knowledge and the formation of personal readiness of psychologists for professional activity. As demonstrated in the article, the character of this correlation depends on the use of a specific method of teaching, and more specifically, the conception of teaching oriented towards forming certain personal qualities. For the efficient education of psychologists it is necessary to make a systemic analysis of expected personal changes in the process and as a result of teaching them. In theory we are realizing an analysis of expected personal changes in the process and the result of teaching them in following modern conceptions of teaching: of programmed teaching, of problem-based teaching, of heuristic teaching, of developing teaching, of media-education, of interactive teaching, of active social and psychological teaching, of person-oriented teaching, of experiential teaching. In this paper the author analyzed: * the main principles of resource-oriented teaching. Resource-oriented teaching creates * the ground for the optimal combination of the requirements of professional preparation * and personal development of psychology students.

Author(s): Ryszard Gerlach / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

Vocational education is both an integral and autonomic part of the socio-economic system. Thus,the expectations and requirements of the labor market ought to be an important indicator for this kind of education. The basic task of vocational education is to prepare for the employment in the modern, often unstable and “fickle” but also changeable and unpredictable labor market. As it is true what A. Giddens writes, that the future of the majority of people will directly depend on their being successful in their professional lives. Their success, in turn, depends on the qualifications and competences they present. Vocational education is the way leading to them. This is why one should consider its orientation towards the labor market.

Author(s): Nikolay Alekseevich Knyazev,Rimma Gennadievna Buyankina,Ruslan Aleksandrovich Zukov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2017

Introduction. The article presents an overview of the analytical material on the significant problem of relations between knowledge and information and their impact on the innovative changes in social practices. The article aims to explore a fundamental change in the cultural interaction sphere of scientific knowledge and information, and the impact of this interaction on the innovative development of social practices in the fields of higher education and improving quality of life. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the theory of post-neoclassical type of society and its key concept of "knowledge society". The authors used interdisciplinary and systematic structural approaches to disclosing the nature of modern science and its importance in addressing current social, cultural and educational tasks of innovative development. Results. The authors have analyzed the impact of the integration processes in the modern science on the development of social practices and the relationship between knowledge and information. Scientific knowledge is considered as a basis of production and consumption of in-formation. The impact of science as a special branch of social production on the mechanism of interaction of knowledge and information has been analyzed. The article shows how the regional innovative policy is connected with the flagship University, involved in improving the quality of life. The authors demonstrate the attitude of scholars to the concepts of "knowledge" and "information" as key categories of science, which contribute to understanding the complex processes of transformation in modern society. In solving significant problems of improving the education system, the authors emphasize specialized training and degree programs, which enable users to create editable content in a variety of search results of required information from large databases. It is emphasized that in the period of transition to a "knowledge society", development of its major sides determines entirely new opportunities for social forecasting. From a his-torical point of view, one of the main prerequisites for the development of contemporary interdisciplinary processes is the transformation of science to a special branch of social production which took place in the mid-twentieth century. In this regard, three main features are revealed: science is characterized as a direct productive force; mechanisms of interaction with the main branches of social production are established; science is considered as one of social spheres involved in active relationship with other aspects of society, especially, with education and improving quality of life. Conclusions. In accordance with the aim of the article the authors disclosed the modern structure of scientific relations determining the development of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary interactions in conditions of increasing information flows. These interactions are included into the processes of innovative convergence of society, authorities and businesses, where the flagship university plays a key role. In the framework of science as a holistic social system, the authors identified three characteristics which play an important role in the development of social practices aimed at improving the degree programmes and quality of life.

Author(s): Svetlana Nikolayevna Fortygina,Larisa Nikolayevna Pavlova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2017

Introduction. The paper is devoted to the problem of interrelation between professional identification and work motivation of pedagogical university graduates. The purpose of the study is to reveal the interrelation between the indicators of professional identification and the types of students’ work motivation. Materials and Methods. The study is based on the following methodological approaches: system, activity, competence, information, process and axiological. These approaches have al-lowed the authors to consider the problem within the framework of initial teacher education. Therefore, the level of formation of professional competencies is considered as significant. The study explores professional identification of pedagogical university graduates using such research methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization; as well as the following methodologies: the methodology of studying the status of professional identity, the questionnaire of professional inclinations, the questionnaire of professional readiness, and the methodology of professional motivation. The degree of interrelation between the indicators of professional identification and the types of graduates’ work motivation was determined using the Pearson corre-lation criterion. The study involved 735 graduates of South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogi-cal University.Results. The results of the study revealed that students of South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University deliberately chose the path of professional development. More than a third of the respondents are inclined to work with people, which is significant for such professional fields as management, education and training; they are also inclined to planning and economic activities, requiring consistency and accuracy. The majority of the surveyed demonstrated high levels of professional readiness, corresponding to the "person-person" professional type. Correlation analysis has shown high indicators of professional identification, which are characterized by positive external motivation. It indicates that students are oriented towards achieving social prestige, receiving social guarantees and money earnings. External negative motivation of pedagogical university graduates is associated with rigid work organization and work regulations. The factor, contributing to successful and conscious professional identification of pedagogical university graduates, is the educational space of the university, which is a complex scientific and practical system. Conclusions. The authors confirmed the hypothesis of the study that there is a correlation between pedagogical university graduates’ professional identification and types of their work motivation. It is established that high indicators of professional identification are associated with positive external motivation of senior full-time students at South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University. Low indicators of professional identification are associated with grad-uates’ ideas of their professional readiness: uncertainty, negative experience of work placements, and negative external influence.
