Formation of readiness for professional activity of students in the educational space of the College
One of the main objectives of secondary vocational education is the formation of psychological and pedagogical competence of College students. Pedagogy, rapidly developing in recent years, is a powerful tool for the study of professional competencies of students in the field of subjects of psychological and pedagogical cycle. The relevance of the study is due to the orientation of secondary vocational education to the development of professional competencies of students, providing such a key competence as the ability to learn. In the context of the formation of psychological and pedagogical competence, the main types of professional and communicative competences are developed in the process of psychological and pedagogical training, and the authors consider them as professional competences corresponding to the main types of professional activity. The problem of formation of professional competence of the student can not be solved without careful analyzes of the peculiarities of the formation of the main mental processes and functions in adolescence. This gives reason to argue that classes with psychological and pedagogical content, including vivid examples from the existing psychological and pedagogical sphere, suggest the active involvement of students in educational activities, are an effective means of forming the psychological and pedagogical competence of students of secondary vocational education. In the process of research, psychological-pedagogical and methodological study was carried out; the initial theoretical positions were singled out. In the course of the experiment, pedagogical conditions were identified and implemented, the content, forms, methods and technologies of forming the general cultural competencies of students in the multicultural educational space of the college were defined and implemented, and their effectiveness was tested in the course of experimental work. Realization of the potential of professional disciplines of psychological and pedagogical orientation to provide psychological and pedagogical training contributes to the student’s personal development and his formation as a person capable of orienting in the college space on the basis of familiarizing with the elements of pre-school psychology and pedagogy.
