GENERAL ISSUES
The article presents the results of a study of the problem of the gap between the changes taking place in the economy, social sphere, political guidelines, culture, on the one hand, and the content of the education system, on the other. The observed changes actualize the need to transform education in order to fully respond to the challenges of the environment surrounding education. One of the important tasks is to create an environment for the formation of a person who is capable and motivated to innovate and create creative activities, for which project activities are optimally suited. As a result, it is necessary to develop a new approach to the organization of project activities, involving the use of modern and most effective methodologies and practices of project management, creative and problem-analytical activities. The purpose of the presented work is to substantiate a new model for building project activities, called the norm and setting boundaries, rules and technologies based on certain values, principles, technologies and methods of project activities in schools. Methods of achieving the purpose were factor analysis to assess the impact of changes in the environment on education, case studies to assess problem areas and positive developments in the organization of project activities of schoolchildren. A case study was conducted in 33 educational institutions in Russia and abroad. An additional method was the analysis of scientific literature and professional standards for project management in order to identify and generalize in the form of an author’s model common and proven results of methodological and methodological developments on the organization of project and innovation activities. The analysis of environmental factors (economy, social sphere, politics, culture) and their impact on the education system is carried out. It is concluded that education should take on the following functions: formation of thinking, self-determination, selforganization, reflection as technologies that allow a person to build their own trajectory of development and turn information into knowledge. While preserving the functions of translation and reproduction of cultural, social and professional norms, education becomes a centering activity that provides the possibility of human existence in any other spheres of activity in the modern world. To perform these functions, a model of the norm of project activity of schoolchildren is proposed, which is built on certain values and principles developed by the authors, and includes three stages of performing project activity of a student (conception, implementation or management of implementation, understanding of the work done). The proposed model of the project activity norm meets the requirements of changes in the environment of education. It assumes a radically different approach in comparison with the existing practices of organizing project activities, which corresponds to the principles and methods of project activities generally accepted in project management, but at the same time corresponds to the new goals and objectives of the education system in the conditions of its transformation.
INFORMATIZATION OF EDUCATION
The article presents the experience of mass organization of distance learning in organizations of secondary general and vocational education in March—May 2020 in connection with the difficult epidemiological situation in Russia. The possibilities of the 1C:Education system for organizing the educational process in a distance format, the peculiarities of organizing distance interaction in schools and colleges are considered, the results of using the system are summarized, examples of the successful use of the system in specific educational organizations are given. Based on the questionnaire survey of users, a number of capabilities of the 1C:Education system have been identified, which are essential for the full-fledged transfer of the educational process from full-time to distance learning. The nature and frequency of the use of electronic educational resources in various general education subjects in schools and colleges are analyzed, the importance of the presence in the distance learning system not only of a digital library of ready-made educational materials, but also of tools for creating author’s content is assessed. On the basis of an impersonal analysis of user actions in the system, a number of problems were identified that teachers and students faced in the process of an emergency transition to distance learning.
The article substantiates the relevance of using cloud technologies in higher education and the interest of researchers in the design of distance learning to the possibilities of such use. The article discusses the pedagogical experience of teaching information methods of data processing through the inclusion of cloud technologies (services) in the methodology of the distance teaching of the course “Logic and Statistics” to future pediatricians at medical university in the aggregate of methods for organizing, monitoring and motivating students’ educational and cognitive activities. It’s shown how, starting from the requirements set by the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education in the specialty 05.31.02 “Pediatrics” (specialty level) for the results of development (competencies) and the conditions for the implementation of the program, it is possible to include an initiative pedagogical project in the electronic information and educational environment of the organization. The article describes the design of the application of cloud technologies for using programs, services and a Google Drive as a tool for creating a virtual classroom and laboratory for students to collaborate with each other and with the teacher. The goals and means of a pedagogical project based on the use of methods for simulating distance interaction in professional practice are defined. The article describes the algorithm for the work of a teacher and students in the project “Statistical analysis and interpretation of the simulation game “Clinical trial””.
PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIENCE
A distinctive feature of modern higher education, based on the activity approach, is the orientation of the entire educational process towards diagnosed goals. These goals are formed as educational results presented in the actions of the students themselves. It should be noted that the skill of goal setting is not formed spontaneously in the course of training — it is the result of a specially organized process, therefore the development of a methodology for teaching goal setting is one of the urgent problems in pedagogy. Goal setting is the process of creating a system of goals, correlating them with each other and choosing priority goals, and this is of particular importance for graduates of the IT direction of training. The development of the ability to set goals contributes to a clear vision of the prospects and opportunities for personal and professional self-realization of the subject. By the third year, students of the “Information Systems and Technologies” direction have already accumulated a certain amount of knowledge, but the most laborious thing in the course of studying the disciplines of the professional cycle is acquiring the professional ability to set goals correctly. A study of the literature and different approaches to solving this problem led the authors to develop a training session. The training for the development of the personality’s ability to set goals was developed on the basis of the SMART method. The technique was tested at the Department of Informatics and Applied Mathematics of Bratsk State University for three years and gave positive results. The advantage of the training is that the impact is carried out on all components of the ability to set goals. The formation of positive dynamics to goal-setting after passing the educational training has been proved.
The article raises the problem of using video conferencing services in network educational communities in the context of virtualization of the educational space when organizing the interaction of students in the process of online learning in informatics. Changes in the education system associated with the development of social networks and network communities are discussed, and new opportunities provided by them to the teacher for including students in various types of educational and cognitive activities are analyzed. The concepts of “network community” and “social networks” are revealed. The role of network communities and social networks as collective subjects of social information and educational activities on the Internet is demonstrated. From the standpoint of the implementation of the principle of interactivity of interaction of subjects of educational activity in network communities, the analysis of educational interaction of schoolchildren in the format of video conference based on the Internet is carried out. The characteristics of the capabilities of popular services for network interaction of participants in the educational process when organizing training in the video conference format are described, examples of open software solutions are given. The experience of using video conferencing services in teaching informatics and robotics in the context of the implementation of the educational process in the networked educational communities of the Internet is revealed. The author's approach to the use of tools of popular services for organizing video conferencing in the implementation of interactive training in promising areas of informatics and robotics in the process of joint activities on the Internet is proposed. The results obtained contribute to the theory of informatization of education and can be used in practice by teachers who implement the educational process with schoolchildren using interactive interaction services and Internet resources.
PEDAGOGICAL STAFF
Modern society changes daily under the influence of various factors. This inevitable process of development entails changes in all spheres of human activity, including education, which is the most important today, since it provides competitive specialists for the labor market and employment. In modern realities, a specialist must have not only fundamental knowledge, but also the skills and skills to apply them, as well as a wide range of additional qualities necessary for him in his professional activity, such as: the ability to self-development and self-education, the ability to master new information technologies, communication skills, be included in the process of mastering new trends in the field of their professional interests, and a number of others. A teacher is a specialist in the field of education who teaches and educates the younger generation. They must have all the above qualities, knowledge, skills and abilities in at least five subject areas (subject, methodology, pedagogy, psychology, information technology) and successfully combine all these to solve their professional tasks. The system of training a future teacher is quite a complex process due to its multitasking, but today an important aspect in this system is the information educational environment. The article describes the method of training a computer science teacher using this environment. The developed method was tested at the Department of Computational Mathematics and Methods of Teaching Informatics of Moscow Region State University and consists in creating special conditions that allow for joint information activities and interaction using various distributed information resources.
