SMART-TECHNOLOGIES AS A MEANS OF MODERNIZING FUTURE PSYCHOLOGISTS’ SCIENTIFIC TRAINING AT UKRAINIAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The necessity of educational innovations introduction during the implementation of future psychologists science preparation in higher education institutions is theoretically substantiated. It is indicated that during organization of the educational process of future psychologists science preparation in higher education institutions will be effective pedagogical technologies that will embody both the tactics of organization and tactics of educational activities. It is noted that the necessity to study the feasibility of SMART-technologies during organization of educational process of future psychologists science preparation in higher education institutions in Ukraine is caused by modern society’s demands for competent developed, creative, capable of innovative activities, self-improvement and self-development specialists, low motivation of psychology students to such preparation and reforms that currently take place in the higher education system of Country in the context of its integration into the world educational space. It is hypothesized that SMART-technologies will enable science teacher creatively design educational process in higher education and implement it in the form that is most acceptable to current generation of students, which will increase students' interest in science and motivation to master them, will form creative thinking and the ability to find different ways to solve one problem, if necessary, using the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired during science preparation in higher education institutions. It is noted that the pedagogical experiment revealed a significant positive dynamics of changes in the level of students’ science competence in experimental groups in comparison with the control on the need-sense, cognitive-intellectual, functional-competence, personality-regulatory, reflexive-analytical criteria, which allowed to confirm efficiency and expediency of use the SMART-technologies during implementation of future psychologists science preparation in higher education institutions in Ukraine. The prospects of further research, which consist in the development of modern educational and methodological support of SMART-technologies and searching for the ways to implement them during implementation of science preparation of future psychologists in higher education institutions in Ukraine.
