Formation of skills for conducting sociological research in future teachers

Abstract

In the article, the authors consider the problem of developing the skills of future teachers to conduct sociological research. The relevance of the identified problem is due to the need to understand in the process of teaching the social factors that influence the educational process, making pedagogical decisions based on empirical data. It is proven that the acquired skills will contribute to the development of their own research projects using methods of sociological analysis and compliance with ethical principles. The article provides a rationale for the role of sociological research skills in the process of developing universal and general professional competencies among future teachers. The introduction of the academic discipline “Sociological Research” into the professional training program for future teachers will help raise the level of sociological culture as a component of professional pedagogical culture.
