FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPETENCE OF A FUTURE TEACHER OF TECHNOLOGY BASED ON PROBLEM-PROJECT TRAINING
The article is devoted to the problem of formation and development of ecological competence of a future technology teacher based on the integration, continuity and systematic principles. The article shows that the formation of this competence at students is one of the strategic goals of higher education, but technologies of its formation that exist nowadays are not effective enough. The author's research made it possible to develop a pedagogical technology based of author's problem-project training, which includes two forms of training - "Problem-Project Lecture" and "Laboratory-design work". During the lecture, the subject knowledge is given to students in the context of environmental knowledge. As a result of lecture discussions, students themselves identify environmental problems and find their solutions in a project form. The laboratory class allows students to search for environmental problems and solve them more deeply. For that end the author developed a three-stage study of a technical device with a set of measuring instruments which allows students themselves to identify environmental and ergonomic problems. Holding problem-project lectures and laboratory classes systematically help to form the environmental competence at the future technology teachers. The effectiveness of this pedagogical technology is confirmed by the results of the author's experimental work.
