Municipal Level Teacher Growth System: Improving Pedagogical Design Skills
Innovations in the general education system have significantly changed the content and form of the teacher's professional activity: pedagogical design has become a dominant feature in its structure. In this regard, there was a contradiction between the need for special training of teachers for the implementation of project activities and the lack of sufficient organizational and methodological conditions for the implementation of such training on the job. The purpose of this article is to justify the possibility of improving the skills of pedagogical design in the conditions of the implementation of the teacher growth system at the municipal level. In the course of theoretical analysis, the author substantiates the role and place of design in the structure of professional pedagogical activity. Based on the theoretical results obtained, the idea of building a subject-oriented process of teacher training, integrated with their immediate professional activity, is put forward. The description of the pedagogical experiment on testing the municipal system of teacher growth and the selected pedagogical conditions for the development of design skills of teachers is given. The results of the experimental work confirmed the hypothesis that the effectiveness of the process of improving teachers' design skills is achieved by integrating the process of advanced training in labor activity, using a set of special forms and training methods (cases, design sessions, business games, trainings, master classes, tutoring programs, etc.), use of the principles of subject-oriented learning.
