Practice-oriented training of future Computer Science teachers
Abstract
The article reveals the purpose of practical work on the methods of teaching Computer Science, investigates their place in the curriculum, the processes of their organization during the professional training of students in the educational and professional program "Secondary Education (Computer Science)". General secondary education institutions need a Computer Science teacher who has active knowledge of computer science and methods of teaching it, the ability to organize and effectively implement the educational process, alongside the willingness to develop as a person and as a specialist. Theoretical, empirical, and statistical research methods are used. Practice-oriented training combines educational and cognitive, professional and practical, research- and development-centred activities, solving pedagogical situations and methodological problems, integrating the knowledge of computer science, pedagogy, psychology, theory and methods of teaching. An important place in solving this problem is occupied by laboratory and practical work within the discipline "Methods of teaching computer science", which are defined as forms of organization of education in higher education institutions and as methods of professional training aimed at future teachers of Computer Science. The purpose of these forms of education is to train teachers who are able to: perform methodological activities in the design, organization and implementation of the educational process in Computer Science; use forms, means, methods and techniques of teaching students appropriately; develop author's educational and didactic materials for curricula and model programs; develop comprehensively. The conditions for effective practice-oriented training are the reproduction of the process of performing professional duties by a teacher, the use of active teaching methods, as well as the cooperation of the subjects of the educational process. The prospect is to find effective methods of involving students in modelling the professional actions of a teacher, developing methodological cases.
