Synergistic Approach in the Management of Diploma Works of Graduates of Musical and Pedagogical Universities

Abstract

The article discusses some positive and negative aspects, as well as trends in the choice of topics for final qualifying works by future musicians-teachers. In particular, among the positive signs, there is a noticeable decrease in the number of formal diploma “materials as needed”, their focus on the specific place of work of the student is becoming more clearly marked, and a wide range of issues is being discussed. At the same time, the author points out that the level of presentation of the material and critical analysis of sources is not always acceptable, as well as the inability of the graduate to identify different points of view, to investigate their argumentation. The author considers one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of scientific management of diploma works to be an appeal to a synergetic approach. The conceptual and methodological principles of the synergetic paradigm, due to the ability of various systems to self-development through the use of their internal capabilities according to nonlinear laws, are expressed in the pedagogy of music education in the multivariance of methods (and/or the alternative of their choice), relevant in the professional development of a musician-teacher. In such an educational model, this means giving each student the right to individually move towards professional and creative development, stimulating independent choice and making responsible decisions. This approach makes it possible for the scientific supervisor to assess and predict the future development of each student, to diagnose methodological and other gaps in time, to abandon excessive regulation of the educational process in favor of a more free, individual, creative content, as well as to take into account the professional context as accurately as possible.
