DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS OF TEACHING ELECTIVE COURSES AS THE BASIS OF INTEGRATIVE PROCESSES IN EDUCATION OF THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL

Abstract

The article reveals the approaches to the formation of the methodology of courses on the choice of integrated content on the example of the author’s course "Natural Sciences" for grade 5-6 (authors – Zh. I. Bilyk , T. M. Zasekina, H. A. Lashevska, V. S. Yatsenko). Given the fact that research methods are changing with the improvement of pedagogical technologies in the country's educational system, we are convinced that learning is no less important than what we teach.
The issues of partnership between general secondary education institutions and associations of territorial communities in the implementation of the Concept of lifelong learning are considered, for example, the participants in the educational process of such research methods as observation, measurement, practical work in the field, experimentation and research in general secondary education institutions, modelling with the possible application of AI, camera processing of research results, in particular, mathematical and cartographic methods.
Partnerships with the local community can be considered in the aspects of management, monitoring and joint development of educational programs for the development of general secondary education institutions, which are also aimed at meeting the needs of the residents of this community.
The main focus of the model training programs on integrated optional courses is focused on substantiating the types of education activities, although the problems of evaluating students’ educational achievements, approving educational and methodological kits for grades 5-6 of the New Ukrainian School, forms of education, etc., remain methodologically unresolved.
Applying a competence approach, we develop primarily WordSkills skills (education and training in the form of project activities; determination of the future profession in the form of special career orientation lessons; research, communications, international cooperation, participation in championships and competitions; virtualization of the workplace - the ability to work remotely and freedom of creativity – solving creative problems). It is important to form a system of correct assessment of students’ educational achievements using Bloom’s taxonomy, refined in 2001 (the content of this system in relation to knowledge, abilities and skills), means (calendar-thematic planning, textbooks) and forms of education (educational excursions, surveys, questionnaires, creative meetings, summer schools, experiments, gardening, sports orientation, etc.) on integrated courses of choice.
It is intended for teachers, methodologists and natural sciences teachers of the National Academy of Sciences, students of specialized specialties of higher education institutions.
