The role of musical-aesthetic education in personality development preschool

  30 January 2017

Existing research on the personal development of pre-school children is limited in the scope of investigation. It lacks an integrative approach in respect of the complex impact of arts such as music, painting and other such work. This article examines a pilot programme directed towards the early musical and aesthetical development of pre-school children. This programme gradually introduces more complex content. Previous research has established that when children aged 3-4 years received music and aesthetical education in specialised centres, then by age 6-7 they surpassed the personal development of those who had received a standard schooling. In particular it was found that they acquired an ‘ear’ for musical development – a skill in distinguishing rhythmic and melodic contrast, together with harmonic sequences more delicately. This was associated with an ability to distinguish the emotional states of others. They were better in the embodiment of emotional states, experienced an immersion into the depth of images, and had better imagination and emotional intelligence in music. This research was extended to typical schools with typical children to explore the effective development of personality in pre-school children. The research was carried out over a three-year period, following children from age 3-4 until they were 6-7 years old. Twenty five children in the experimental group were compared with an equal number in the control group. The children were tested at the start and again at the end of the period. The results showed variations in the development of personal development. In particular, some skills, such as the ability to perceive rhythmic and melodic pictures and harmonic sequence, developed more slowly than others. It was found that the rhythmic and melodic forms of the musical ear developed more quickly that the harmonic ear, which is developed later – and more slowly. The development within the experimental group was not particularly rapid when compared with the control group but was more productive.

The subjects in the experimental group showed more effective development of generic perceptual unity and understand of human emotional state. Similar results were obtained in the formation of emotional displays in the cast plot scenes. Children learned not only to identify and to depict the emotional state of the character with the help of an adult but also showed the ability to empathize to another one, and to express their emotions objectively using a large set of facial expressive means of communication. In verbal imagination the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. In particular, the children demonstrated the ability to express the plot of the story, using uniqueness and originality. The results concerning the expression of the emotional character of a story and the dominating mood were mixed. The expression of emotion was significantly developed but the perception and expression of a landscape did not show a significant improvement. Overall, the results that early musical and aesthetic development has a positive effect on the personal sphere of preschool children. This is based on the musical ear as the ability to make delicate distinctions and of aural representations that affect other mental functions of children.

Social and professional values of Russian teachers having various pedagogical experience

  30 January 2017

Within the context of transformations in society and the challenges of new development, teachers
experience changes in their perception of education values. The aim of the research reported here
was to identify key perceptions of teachers in the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia) in respect of social
and professional values, at various levels of teaching experience. The research used axiological and
competence-based approaches as a firm basis for reaching agreement on teachers’ specific values.
This paper discusses the results from a comparative analysis of Russian teachers with up to 5 years,
6-20 years and more than 20 years teaching experience. The analysis makes it possible to define
some directions for the training and retraining of highly qualified teachers to help them understand
the importance of these qualities and values.

The model of a future teacher’s risk-recognizing competency formation in the process of preparation for innovative educational activities

  30 January 2017

The next generation of teachers will need to engage in innovative activities that carry risk! There is insufficient development of the theoretical, methodological and procedural aspects of secondary school teacher education, so that they are ready to innovate. The research reported here led to a model for developing the competence of student teachers to recognise risk when preparing for educational innovation. The model combines cognitive with practical activities, using interrelated targets, procedures and effective components. Simulation was used to help students to make and take responsibility for innovation. The article identifies the characteristics of the model and justifies the conceptual provisions. The aim is to improve the efficiency of processes for developing risk awareness in teacher education, and help them apply their knowledge, skills and experience to prevent and reduce risk in educational innovation.

Becoming a teacher in the United Kingdom in the 21st century

  30 January 2017

In this article I seek to explore how teacher education policy has been shaped and influenced by
political interventions. The main focus is on the UK, but I argue that this approach to teacher
education as a ‘policy problem’ is part of a wider global phenomenon. Part of this discussion
necessarily needs to differentiate between what has been happening in different parts of the UK,
for in spite of the globalising influences, there appears to have been some divergence between the
trajectories of the four jurisdictions in relation to developments in teacher education. In drawing
on recent developments in ‘clinical practice’ within teacher education, I draw attention to the
importance of a research oriented approach to teacher education.

Why become a teacher? Considerations on the initial study phase in teacher training

  30 January 2017

This article focuses on the transition from pupil to student. This transitional phase involves the
challenge of having to take a decision regarding a career path. For some pupils, this represents
perhaps their first major decision they are confronted with since the early school years: What do I
want to be? What kind of career suits me? This transition involves more than just a career choice; as
part of the transition, a number of biographical issues are activated, which are all aimed at one’s life
plans as a whole: ‘How do I want to live or what is important to me in life?’ As such, the individual is
also confronted with the question of what still ‘fits’ with his or her previous orientation, experiences
and perspectives, in the light of new plans for the future or experiences in the course of the transition.
This involves questions and biographical issues, which relate to growing up in general. Very few are
able to easily escape such biographical challenges and tensions. However, the responses or forms of
dealing with these issues can vary.

Vocational Teacher Training in Germany

  30 January 2017

The international developments of globalization and demographic changes of an aging society have
led to new concepts of teacher education since the beginning of the 21st century. Currently, the
debate pertaining vocational teacher training focuses on two issues: 1) Firstly, reform is necessary
because of structural and curricular changes, further professionalization and quality development
of vocational teacher training as part of the measures imposed by the Bologna. 2) Secondly, given
the scope of a profound socio-demographic transformation process, the focus of attention is shifting
onto the acute needs for teachers in scarce subjects of personal care services as well as MINT
professions within the professional vocational disciplines of teacher training. The following article
outlines key reforms and developments in vocational teacher education in Germany and Europe
on the following points: 1) Structures and university centers of teacher education in Germany
2) Curriculum development and didactic approaches in teacher training 3) Requirements on
competencies and professionalization in teacher training.

Attitudes towards inclusion by Slovenian teachers in the context of findings from other countries

  30 January 2017

The inclusion of children with special needs into the mainstream regular elementary school classes
brings a professional challenge to teachers. A review of articles on teachers’ attitudes towards
inclusion published during last three decades was conducted. The review of research findings
indicates that effective implementation of inclusion depends on the teacher’s attitude to inclusion,
which is found to be linked to the teacher’s gender, years of work experience in teaching children
with special needs, qualification of teachers, and the type of special need. A survey was conducted
in 2013 on a representative sample of Slovenian elementary school teachers who teach in 7th, 8th
or 9th class and have in their class at least one student with special needs. The findings indicate that
teachers have a neutral attitude to inclusion. Teachers believe that they are insufficiently qualifie in
teaching children with special needs, and that they need more training in this particular area. They
are most in favor of inclusion of children with deficiencies in certain areas of learning, children
with chronic disease, and children with speech and language disorders. They disfavor the inclusion
of children with mental development disorders. They hold a neutral attitude to the use of ICT in
inclusive education, and that the use of ICT contributes more to a child’s cognitive, than social
development. They believed that they do not have sufficient competences in ICT supported learning
and assistive technologies. The findings of a survey of Slovenian teachers have shown neither a
link between a teacher’s attitude to inclusion and the teacher’s gender, years of work experience,
experience in teaching children with special needs, nor the teacher’s opinion of his/her own teaching
competences for inclusion. The findings are discussed in light of related studies in other countries.

Pedagogical speech studies in professional training of students: technology, methods, means of practice-based learning

  16 June 2016

The article is concerned with the problem of use of Speech Studies in the process of professional training of students. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the fact that the extent of prior research in the context of a practice-oriented professional training of future teachers is not fully devel-oped. The purpose of the study is to identify and classify the major components of Speech Studies on the basis of the functional analysis of knowledge-resource potential of multifunctional professional activity of a teacher. These major components can be regarded as characteristic values of renewal of professional content and process aspect of teaching. The main technologies of the research are: the technology of professional and pedagogical Speech Studies, the technology of acquiring the types of speech activity with the proper speech making rules, the technology of use of multilevel and multidirectional Speech Studies components that contribute to the implementation of spiritual and moral consolidating potential of humanitarian disciplines in educational institutions.
In addition, we used the technology of aspect-integrated learning; self-motivation, technologies of personality-oriented communication, etc. The article reflects the results of this work, during which stu-dents acquired necessary and sufficient competences, which can be considered as indicators of mastery of professional communicative competence in general. The article can be useful for practical professional activity of teachers of higher educational establishments and secondary school teachers.

Integration of pedagogical and classical philological education in preparing future teachers of philology

  16 June 2016

Integration of classical university and teacher training in the Kazan Federal University is carried out in the framework of the Strategic Academic Unit (SAE) “The teacher of the XXI century”. It is implemented under conditions of modern higher education in the context of perspective directions and key points in resolving the problem of teacher training for the modern school. Integration of classical university and teacher training in Kazan Federal University while training philologists allows, on the one hand, strengthening the fundamental nature of the subject training for future teachers of Russian, Tatar, foreign languages, literature, and, on the other hand, strengthening the pedagogical orientation of training philologists. Teacher training is an important component of any educational policy of the state and has a high degree of flexibility and availability. The purpose of the article is to show the positive aspects of the integration of teaching and classical university training in terms of joint activities of two Kazan Federal University institutions – that of Philology and Intercultural Communication and that of Psychology and Education; identify opportunities to improve teacher training at the university. The main method is descriptive. Projective research technique is applied as well. We came to the conclusion that there are several variants for training future teachers, which satisfy the Professional teacher standard and new federal state educational standard for secondary school. The first variant is a more advanced teacher training version. It implies taking a magistracy course on the direction “Teacher education”.
“Philological Education” is implemented in cooperation with the Institute of Psychology and Educa-tion. This educational route allows combining harmoniously practical professional orientation and fun-damental scientific basis while training teachers. The second variant is providing a bachelor with teacher training opportunities along with basic education for two. This will ensure that graduates can get a serious psycho-pedagogical and methodological preparation for a future profession. We believe that the integra-tion of classical university and teacher training in Kazan Federal University in the teacher training con-tributes to the following: Firstly, it optimizes the period of teacher training; secondly, it improves the teacher training quality in accordance with the requirements of national education modernization; Thirdly, it improves the professional teacher competence in accordance with the requirements of national education modernization. Fourthly, it improves the education quality in regional educational institutions. Fifthly, it increases the graduates’ competitiveness. Our study is of interest to all those involved in the problems of training and re-training future teachers.

Forming general cultural competences of future teachers when implementing an innovative model of teacher education

  16 June 2016

The relevance of the problem under investigation is due to the transition of universities to the GEF HPE, thus expanding the academic freedom of educational institutions and carrying out training on the basis of innovative educational programs (on the objectives, content, organizational forms and technologies).

In order to improve the quality of university graduates, the new model of teacher – the teacher of the XXI century, teaches, mobilizes, creates and is able to use the most modern educational technology. Kazan (Volga) Federal University joined in the development of CAE design as well as development and implementation of professional standards based on European and national qualifications frameworks. Conceptual model of the nucleus of a new type of teacher involves competence approach to the expected results of higher education and qualification orientation according to the requirements of different groups of consumers (people, the employer, the state, society). The model is based on the principle of variability, modularity, mobility, unity, continuity, adaptability and includes different trajectories of teacher training: variative trajectory, distributed trajectory, training bachelors of subject training, retraining of teachers to other disciplines, the center of training and retraining of educators, teaching internship, pedagogical magistracy. Formation of general cultural competences in this model should be a priority, as their importance in the process of becoming a new type of teacher is related to the fact that it is the general cultural competence that creates the harmony of the inner world and the relationship with society and can be considered as the basis for the formation of professional competence of future teachers. Analysis of the GEF HPE, theory and practice of bachelors training, revealed that the formation of general cultural competence of future teachers is provided, but a large set of competencies makes it difficult to identify the competence framework as provided by the European education system. The most important task for the system of higher education in the field of training of teachers of the new formation is the need to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of general cultural competence of bachelors in the modernization of pedagogical education.
B
eing one of the most important areas of public knowledge, morality nevertheless has not become an educational field at any school or university. The pedagogical community is increasingly aware of the fact that the goals, values and purports, which are now set in modern knowledge-centrist and even competence model of modern higher education, are far from ideal and do not meet the prognostic expectations, which would correspond to the real challenges of the contemporary socio-cultural situation in the world and in the Russian society.
The crisis has aggravated, identified, highlighted and allowed us to formulate accurately and pre-cisely not imaginary and farfetched problems, but real and urgent ones, as well as the identification of priorities to address these problems. The professors of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University see the solution of these issues in the development of the model of the XXI century teacher.

The use of problem-based technologies in multicultural education of future teachers

  16 June 2016

Implementation of the Strategic Academic units involves designing effective learning technology. This technology must comply with the conditions of the multicultural environment. In the context of carrying-out a strategic academic unit destined to raise effectiveness of higher education (including multicultural education of future teachers) we refer to StrAU’s recommendations (StrAU’s, 2015). Strategic academic units are understood to mean individual structural subdivisions (schools, departments, institutes, centers of excellence, RECs and others) or their associations (“consortiums”) which are characterized by: effec-tive administration system focused on solving practice-oriented educational, scientific and technological problems. But more often these units are understood only as the structures oriented on solving practical-oriented tasks. The structure itself can neither manage nor solve problems, if it doesn’t have functional content. This content can provide technological filling of the structure that is, filling this structure with definite functional technologies. Now the technologies activating cognitive, developing and creative pro-cesses include the technologies connected with problem definition, problem situation analysis, effective ways of solving practical (including pedagogical) problems (Venguer, 1973), (Davydov, 1986); (Lloyd-Jones, Margetson, Bligh, 1998); (Spencer, Spencer, 1993); (Teodorescu, 2006), (Terenzini, Reason, 2010); (The Engineer of 2020, 2004) and others.
The relevance of the problem under study is determined by the necessity to intensify practical effect of multicultural education within future teachers’ education on the one hand and the absence of algo-rithms of effective use of pedagogical technologies at universities on the other hand. In this respect the aim of the research presented in the article is to define the appropriate algorithm of using pedagogical technologies in multicultural education. The leading method in the problem research is project method which allows grouping the system of active methods and identifying the best algorithm (curriculum) for using problem-based technologies. As as a result of examining different combinations (algorithms) of using these technologies, we established that optimality (effectiveness) of multicultural education at uni-versity can be achieved at the teaching level by progressing from communicative technology to critical thinking technology, then to case-study technology, module learning, project technology, problem-based learning and moderation technology with an expert problem seminar at the end; at the level of study – by progressing from understanding the problem, determining the ways for solving the problem, selecting arguments before discussing the ways of problem solving and summing up at expert problem seminar. The article materials can be useful for pedagogical university teachers.

Personal maturity of the teacher in the conditions of CAE implementation

  16 June 2016

The article is devoted to topical problems of reforming higher pedagogical education. Targeting educa-tional process on the development of personal maturity and competitiveness; the success of a professional is conditioned by several reasons, among which the most significant should be considered: readiness of the teacher for professional activity in the new economic socio-cultural conditions, the competitive environment; the orientation of training activities on professional and innovative searches; the encouragement of interest in self-development and self-realization. The article proposes a view of the construction of a coherent educational system for the development of personal maturity and competitiveness of a teacher.
The structure of personal maturity of the teacher as a component of competitiveness is characterized by the following components: motivational and value component which includes meaningful high motivation of teachers to professional activities, values, cognitive interests, focused on various kinds of social activities, and contributes to self-development, self-actualization, self-assertion, which is an important party for competitive teachers. Reflexive-evaluative component provides the awareness of teachers and evaluation of their potential, the real level of competitiveness, allows carrying out forecasting and designing further professional growth. The activity component consists in the implementation of pedagogical activities, in the implementation of abilities and skills of cognitive, communicative, regulatory and other measures. For the study of motivational-value component of the personally maturity of a teacher, we used verbal frustration test by L. N. Sobchik (2002). The proposed method allows identifying the most important values in a situation of frustration.
To evaluate reflexive-evaluative component we used E. E. Rukavishnikova’s technique aimed at determining the level of reflexivity of teachers which provides stabilization of their emotional peace, mobilization of volitive potential, flexible management. To study self-actualization of a teacher we used the test developed by E. Shostr. To identify the level of development of the components, we used psycho-pedagogical techniques, tests and observation.
The dependence of teacher’s competitiveness from the level of his/her personal development was proved. The interrelation between decrease of teacher’s professional success and the level of development of the components of personal maturity of the teacher was also shown. A detailed analysis of under-development of personal qualities of the teacher, which prevent professional self-improvement and success was described.
It is believed that the formation of personal maturity of a teacher provides not only a desire for a teacher’s self-education, but also contributes to the development of his competitiveness, creation of a professional competitive environment.
On the basis of the study the authors draw conclusions on the development of personal maturity as a component of teacher’s competitivnes.

Distributed model of teacher education at Kazan Federal University

  16 June 2016

There is a need to modernize higher pedagogic education. The requirements for the content of schooling and higher education is changing quickly as scientific knowledge accumulate. Preparing a teacher for XXI century is an essential task for the present day. The authors aimed to develop the educational standard in pedagogical education at Kazan federal university. The article describes the projectization process. The leading methods for the research were theoretical study, modeling, questionnaire survey and others. SFU is able to educate future teachers of physics within the distributed model and even advance it now as every institute at KFU has a pedagogical department. In the article we present bibliography analysis on the issue, the results of questioning the students of the Institute of Physics in non-pedagogical major, gradual formulation of the Standard, Enclosure to the Standard, educational paths, one of which a student can select, curriculum versions, conceptual framework of methodic preparing. The materials of the article demonstrate the reasoning and sequence of the author on the work on Educational Standard in specialization 44.03.01 Pedagogical education, profile: teacher (subject).

The new organizational structure of the Master’s program in teacher education: formulation of the problem and further strategic guidelines

  16 June 2016

Modern education, changing the educational paradigm place special demands on the teacher’s personality and level of development of his competences. They make a significant change in the content of teacher training, involve completely different mechanisms of organi-zation of educational process at all levels of training, including the master’s level, which involves in-depth training of innovative character. Expanding the methodological aspects of the problem, the article focuses on the design used by the authors of Master training programs for teachers, so-called “3D-approach” of the complex integration of the three approaches, namely: the subject-activity approach, сompetence-activity approach, and reflec-tive-activity approach. This approach, according to the authors, could be the methodological basis for the design and implementation of teacher education process, from the position of which its modernization must be carried out.

The article deals with various models of teacher training at the Kazan Federal University, presents the benefits and challenges of the process and the components of classical and pedagogical universities. The authors emphasize that the association of scientific, educational, human, material and technical capacities within a single university is a good basis for the further modernization of teacher education at the present stage.
Analysis of the existing practice of the implementation of Master’s programs in the direction of prep-aration- “Teacher education” made it possible to identify a number of problems, which are conditionally divided into two groups. The first group of problems is organizational in nature and is related to the struc-ture of the Master’s programme in Teacher Education, the second group of problems is related to the substantive nature of the master’s program content.

The authors give characteristics of the new organizational structure of the Master’s teaching at Kazan Federal University, revealed its benefits and possible risks of implementation. The article outlines targets and strategy for the modernization of educational graduate programs in the federal university environment. The article is addressed to the administrative and teaching staff of higher education institutions, interested in the modernization of master teachers training programs.

The model of teacher education as a form of implementation of the strategic academic unit

  16 June 2016

A teacher education study was conducted in the framework of SAE (Strategic Academic Unit). The aim of the study was to develop a model for bachelors (future mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and others) undertaking concurrent vocational teaching training (a teacher of mathematics, physics or biology). To design an effective model of teacher education in the Federal University under conditions of socio-political, pedagogical and methodical for the training of teachers in different countries. The model of teacher education in Kazan Federal University includes several trajectories – distributed, variability, integrative, etc. The novelty of this model is determined by the processability of building the content of teacher education. The technology has an integrative, variability, modular, and task-oriented nature. The modular structure of the training process enables the pre-set training activities as holistic thematic sections or blocks, that is, restructuring of the organization (structure) of training. Focusing on problem-oriented technology (from communicative core and critical thinking to a modular, problem-based learning and expert seminars) allows implementing the content of disciplines in educational psychology, didactics, teaching methods and teaching practice as a practice-oriented system which also ensures the formation of professional pedagogical skills. The quality of training of future teachers is ensured by the fact that students are offered publicly available “library” with educational training modules, each of which: precisely formulates verifiable educational outcomes focused on teacher standards; describes the forms of organization of the educational process to ensure the achievement of these results; offers assessment tools for intermediate and final control of the level of achievement of the future teacher.

Developing a model of professional training in the Discipline “Teacher education” at the Federal University

  13 June 2016

The topic of the article is relevant due to to the fact that there is a meaningful inquiry into the organization of teaching process at the Federal University in the discipline major- “Teacher Education”. The au-thors developed the educational standard of additional vocational training program in “Teacher Educa-tion”.
We offer the model of the organization of teacher education in the framework of professional train-ing, which is a project aimed at solving the problem of providing a new format of establishing and maintaining the training program for trainees, to focus on the competences specified in the federal state educational standard (GEF).
The purpose of the article is to describe the developed model of professional training, based on the implementation of the new structural and functional model of teacher training at the Federal University in the conditions of modern education.
The leading method to the study of this problem is the modeling method, we consider this issue as an integrative model of teacher training, which is based on flexible bachelors curricula of classical training areas (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) and provides the opportunity to change for pedagogical training profiles after the third or fourth year of study or after graduating from the University.
The model assumes the implementation of different trajectories (tracks) to “enter” teacher education through the organization of training under the program of professional retraining. The structure of the organization of different trajectories (tracks) of the retraining is propounded. We developed and proposed the model of organization of psychological monitoring and support of teacher training for discussion within professional training program.
Тhus, one of the possibilities to continue the construction of a new model of Teacher Education is to include it in the KFU Strategic Academic unit (SAE) “Teacher of the XXI century”. The area of teacher education transformation allows “in the framework of classical university, the development and imple-mentation of several models of teacher education organizations” (Tayurskii, 2016). One of these models is the model of the additional professional education (retraining) in the major of Teacher Education.
The bases of the model described are the following principles (Novik, 2015):
– Negotiation of dominance of normative over subjective;
– Change of orientation from decision making to solving problems;
– Negotiation of dominance of analysis towards the composition of solutions;
– Negotiation of dominance of “subject-object” orientation in teaching.
The term “learning outcomes” was proposed in order to determine exactly what a student should achieve, in terms of “forms of education” and “diagnostic procedure” which refers to the way he achieves this and the way he is able to demonstrate his achievements.

Psychological Analysis of Epic Works in Studying Monographic Principles

  20 March 2016

In our research we have issued from the point that literary art does not only reflect the world but also evaluates it, establishes the ideal of a human, teaches what the human should and should not be like. Literature enlightens people universally, opening before us not only the surrounding world but also our own one, whereas practical life experience is limited in time and space. In this unit of our research we will demonstrate that literature is able to broaden the boundaries of this experience giving each of us an opportunity to live a number of lives. The mechanism of this “life within literary art” is that while reading a novel the reader is transported into the world of images which is displayed in front of him/her by the artist, so that the reader starts living in this world with its characters. Psychological analysis helps the reader in this process.

The task of this chapter is to show how psychological analysis can be conducive to forming the ability of exploring a literary text which aims at extending the knowledge about a human and his/her psychology, complicated and inimitable in its manifestation. It is also important to enrich students’ conception of uniqueness of the author’s methods to describe a human artistically.
