TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT OF PROFESSIONAL AND LEGAL TRAINING OF PROSPECTIVE ENGINEERS-INSTRUCTORS

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of technological processes as a dominant feature of human activity. Based on the comparative characteristics of technologies in production and social processes, the features of the educational technology have been identified. A characteristic is given of specific essential features of pedagogical technology as a social system whose development and implementation are focused to ensuring qualitative changes in a person (one's accomplishment, upbringing, development, etc.). The desire to optimise continuously the educational process has been the reason of emergence of new educational technologies and improvement of those used.

The interpretation of the notion of "innovation" in the pedagogical process has been analysed. The topicality of using innovations to ensure the legal education of the personality of a prospective specialist to overcome the deficiencies of existing practices has been clarified. The study has analysed the proposals of professionals to improve the legal training of specialists by introducing different technologies focused to ensuring the content of legal education, viz. introducing practicals to discuss legal documents, and resolve and discuss legal situations in professional activities, and so forth.

With account of subjective and objective factors affecting the effectiveness of efforts in developing the legal competence of the prospective specialist, the advantages of different technologies for professional and legal training of the prospective engineer-instructor have been determined. Emphasis is placed on the practicality of using explanatory-informational technologies in professional and legal training at the initial stages of students' education at a higher education institution. The advantages of the problem training technology have been identified. The basic methods of the technology are problem-based exposition of tutorial material, the heuristic method (the partial searching one), the search method, the research method of advancing hypotheses, verification, and so forth. The technologies of teaching in cooperation, or interactive technologies, ...
