THE PROBLEMS OF FUNCTIONING OF THE BASIC DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITARIAN PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The research purpose is the description of the main problems of the basic academic department of the humanitarian pedagogical university. In accordance with the research purpose and the orientation function of the basic department, we define the theoretical and methodological basis of the research as follows: the mixture of synergistic, subjective and individually differentiated approaches. The result of the research is a practically-oriented model of the department, which is a structural subdivision of the university. The department is analyzed from the standpoints of its routine procedures and the workload contents, as well as its organizational and activity structure. These aspects are reflected in target group actions, their goals, types of professional activities, during which necessary labor competences are being mastered. The core of the instructional content block is the modular curriculum system, which consists of the basic professional educational program, containing 2 compulsory and 6 variable modules of 60 and 180 credit units, respectively. The conducted research revealed the main problems of the basic department. The problems arose in the process of implementing the basic professional educational program. The main challenges were focused around professional training upgrading and the individualization of the professional development of master students within the framework of educational university process. The implementation of the effective module block and the evaluative-reflective function of the proposed model will make it possible to establish the mastery of competences, oriented at labor functions, where the main learning criteria are skills, knowledge, and professional activities. They manifest themselves at different levels.
