TECHNOLOGIES IN PEDAGOGICAL PRACTISE

Abstract

The article highlights the notion of technology in the pedagogical process, systematizes the types of technologies used in educational practice, gives a review of the new technologies’ causes and their development stages. The research is based on the application of the general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization) and specifically scientific (comparative analysis) research methods. The received results prove the essential impact of technologies on the learning process improvement, as well as their ability to progress and adjust to the up-to-date demands of the educational process. The problem of the pedagogical process’s technological was considered by such scientists as O. Yankovych, I. Dychkivska, I. Prokopenko, P Luzan, Yu. Rudnik, N. Corokina, V. Belan and many others. The article includes definitions of such notions as “educational technology”, “pedagogical technology”, “learning technology”, “information technology”, as well as variations of the spheres of their application, and also the principal features of a scientifically justified technology based on generalizing the scientific ideas of the leading researchers of technologies in the educational process. The importance of a new technology goal setting was emphasized. Furthermore, the particular technologies most frequently applied in educational establishments were identified. It should be stated that the significant parts of the pedagogical technology structure are the conceptual part, the content, the procedure, software and methodical support, and professional component. It is important to state that the new technologies are directed at transforming a learner from being a learning process object into the subject playing a significant part in creating the learning activity. The attention is focused on the defining role if informational technology, distance learning technology, project work technology in modern life, thanks to their ability to encourage creative information searching, develop independence in knowledge acquisition, contribute to the growth of critical thinking skills, sense of responsibility and self-confidence.
