CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS’ READINESS TO ORGANIZE LEARNING ACTIVITIES AT SCHOOL

Abstract

Currently, the Republic of Kazakhstan has identified the main directions of the modern development of education in both schools and HEIs.  There is a constant reforming of the school education system in the following directions: the updated content of educational programs; the competency-based approach to knowledge acquisition becomes the main one. These changes are conditioned by the fact that instead of simple acquisition of knowledge and reproduction of the information received at the lesson more rational methods, such as project creative activity, able to develop students’ creativity and critical thinking and to provide knowledge and skills, especially in such an important and complex subject as physics, should come. New requirements for secondary education require new teachers who know their subject well enough, who understand children’s development and have professional skills based on competency-based approach, with which it is possible to organize the educational process in order to help schoolchildren study the subject (both traditional and more active creative teaching methods to which, concerning physics, the research work is first of all related).  It should be noted that the foundations of the competency-based approach in the education system of Kazakhstan are laid in the conceptual, legal acts and standards of education, both higher and secondary. This is explained by the fact that it is pedagogical practice, based on the need of more competent personnel, determines the demand for research activities of a teacher, one of the most important professional competencies of a future teacher. At the same time, it is important to point out that in modern conditions of the system of updated education it is important and problematic to have physics teachers with the required professional competencies to form research abilities of schoolchildren.
