Adaptation to the dynamics of social phenomena in the field of education on the basis of improving methodological work
The paper makes an attempt to show the significance of scientific and methodological work as the main component of educational activity. Scientific and methodological work is considered as the main tool for adapting the educational space to changes in society and in the field of education. The authors formulate a number of objectives that should be achieved through the methodological support of the educational process and pedagogical activity. Scientific-methodical or methodical associations are seen as the key actors in organizing scientific and methodological work in an educational institution. The authors have developed principles of organizing the work of such associations. The main areas of their scientific and methodological activity are as follows: the development of teaching materials for all types of training sessions and educational work and its methodological support; improving educators’ pedagogical skills; improving the quality and effectiveness of the supervision of training sessions; organization of pedagogical (methodological) experiments and the introduction of their results in the educational process. In the methodological work, it is proposed to pay special attention to improving the pedagogical skills of young teachers.
