Integration of Professional Education and Production as the Factor of Modernization of the Future Engineers-Teachers Training in the Field of Food Technology
Abstract
In this paper the problem of the relationship of education and production with the consideration of the essence of the professional training of future engineers-educators in the field of food technologies is outlined. It is noted that in order to form a competent pedagogue engineer in the field of food technologies, it is necessary to use the potential embodied in such forms of integration of the "education-science-production" system as the dual purposeful training of future engineers-educators in the field of food technologies. Manufacturing practices are an important component of the interaction between institutions of higher education and production. The leading approach to organizing and conducting industrial practices of future engineers-educators in the field of food technologies in the research and production complex is the integration of theoretical, professional, practical, educational and research activities of students. It has been determined that the integrative nature of all stages of students’ industrial practice should be ensured by implementation of a number of basic principles in the educational process, including: the connection between education and life; compliance with the content and organization of the educational process requirements of production to the educational institution and future specialists; systematic, continuity, complication of the goals and objectives set from the course to the course; the complex nature of pedagogical influence, which involves the unity of professional and personal development of students. The author’s research suggests that the interaction of professional education with production should be carried out in positions of an integrative approach, which ensures the common purpose, commonality of content, community of activities, the common values of education and production. The author proposed the structure of continuous education (educational cluster) of future engineers-educators in the field of food technologies at the pedagogical university.
