MODERN TECHNOLOGIES OF PROBLEM-MODULE TRAINING: A CHALLENGE OR AN INVITATION TO DEBATE?

Abstract

The author analyzes a serious pedagogical problem of intensification of the learning process in higher education with the use of modern educational technologies, in particular, the technologies of the problem-modular training. There are discussed the possibilities of creative educational technologies. On the background of the new Law on Education, establishing and adopting of the new Federal Educational Standards, the problem of modularity of learning appears in a slightly different light: not only as an innovation, not only as a form or method of enhancing teaching and learning process, but also as a complete and perfect means for changing the approach to teaching, the pedagogical view of one’s work and the work of students of higher education. The work of teacher will undergo significant changes; students’ independence will significantly increase. The approach to the methods of obtaining and evaluating knowledge will change as well. The independent work of the student and the creative work of the teacher can become the basis for a real change in Russia’s system of vocational education.
