THE SYSTEM OF PREPARING FUTURE PHYSICS TEACHERS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF STUDENTS’ INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES.

Abstract

The article presents conceptual provisions used for preparation of future physics teachers for the organization of students’ innovation activities, which form the basis for the development of a model for training future physics teachers for the organization of students' innovation activities in the educational process. The main idea of this model is to implement a two-component system of training future physics teachers for the organization of students’ innovative activities; its first (educational) component is related to the students’ targeted learning activity in the context of forming readiness for organizing students’ innovation activities; the second (professional) component is implemented in the future teacher’s quasi- professional activities, during which he or she is the organizer of students’ innovation activities. This idea implies the continuity of teacher's professional training and provides for: 1) updating the content of professional training for a future physics teacher by developing educational programs, curricula, programs of disciplines, teaching materials that should take into account the innovative nature of the professional activities accomplished by a future teacher; 2) the use of a three-level structure for preparing future physics teachers for organizing students' innovative activities creates conditions for: appropriate theoretical training of students (first level); acquiring practical skills and experience in implementing innovative activities in the learning process (second level); students aim at organizing their innovative search in the educational process in physics (third level); 3) organization of the educational environment in the conditions of quasi- professional activity of students provides for the approximation of educational activities of future teachers to the forms of their professional activity in order to imitate those elements of pedagogical activity that future physics teachers will have to perform; 4) the use of methods, forms and means of training in the process of vocational training that contribute to attracting students to innovative search during the class and extracurricular forms of work; 5) increasing the role of independent work of students in the educational process by involving them in research activities on the creation and implementation of innovative educational products; 6) creation of conditions for the involvement of students in the leadership of the research work in the process of their preparation for participation in national and international competitions. The model offers a three-level structure for the training of future teachers of physics for the organization of students' innovative activity.
