Professional Pedagogics

Abstract

Relevance: of the article is determined by the European integration orientation of Ukraine, which requires the implementation of the best practices of teacher training in the European Union; given the difficult psychological and emotional conditions of the educational process in Ukraine caused by the war, it is important to analyse the experience of psychological and pedagogical training of teachers in German vocational education institutions.

Aim: to identify the peculiarities of psychological and pedagogical training of vocational education institutions teachers in Germany and to substantiate recommendations for their use in the psychological and pedagogical training of vocational teachers in Ukraine.

Methods: analysis and synthesis – to determine the state of psychological and pedagogical training of vocational teachers in Germany; comparative analysis – to find common and different features of psychological and pedagogical training of vocational teachers in Germany and Ukraine; generalisation – to formulate conclusions and recommendations for improving the psychological and pedagogical training of vocational teachers in Ukraine.

Results: it was found that the number of credits allocated for psychological and pedagogical training of teachers in Ukraine and Germany is approximately the same; it was found that in the national training system of vocational education institutions teachers a greater number of credits for psychological and pedagogical training are allocated at the Bachelor's level, in Germany – at the Master's level; it was discovered that domestic students receive "academic" psychological and pedagogical training mostly at the Bachelor's degree, and in the Master's degree they study only certain issues of teaching disciplines in the chosen specialisation; practical training in Ukrainian and German higher education institutions that provide teacher training for the vocational education system is similar; a significant difference is observed in the organisation of training for research activities (in Ukraine, this is carried out at the Master's level).

Conclusions: the peculiarities of psychological and pedagogical training of vocational education institutions teachers in Germany (the national standard of 75 ECTS, which are clearly divided into five content modules that are repeated at the Bachelor's and Master's levels with different content) are identified; formulated recommendations for improving the teachers training for the system of vocational education in Ukraine (to focus on strengthening the practical component of higher pedagogical education; to devote more time to the issues of psychological support of the educational process; to develop the unified standard of psychological and pedagogical training of teachers of vocational education institutions, taking into account current trends; to begin preparing students for empirical research at the Bachelor's level).
