STUDY OF PEDAGOGICAL FACILITATION AS A VITAL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

The article describes the peculiarities of pedagogical facilitation as a specific educational technology. Drawing on the analysis of the scientific fund, the authors cover vital technologies as those based on life experience of the individual, his/her intellectual and psychological potential for educational purposes. The teacher’s ability to use the mechanisms of pedagogical facilitation (pedagogical support for the formation of the student’s personality and the pedagogical support of his/her academic achievements) determines the success of the use of the vital technologies in the classroom. A criterial system for assessing the levels of the maturity of pedagogical facilitation as a vital educational technology has been suggested. It contains the following parameters: an emotional and motivational criterion with indicators: empathy; fascism; emotional intelligence; motivation for pedagogical activity; pedagogical thinking; cognitive-interactive criterion with indicators: knowledge of the specifics of pedagogical communication; need for communication, ability for selfgovernment in communication; perceptually interactive competence; non-verbal competence; communication position; regulatory-volitional criterion with indicators: reflexive pedagogical skills; self-esteem; professional self-awareness. With the help of various valid diagnostic techniques and specially developed questionnaires, the level of the maturity of pedagogical facilitation of students as future teachers of physical and mathematical disciplines and the students majoring in Arts according to selected indicators has been assessed, which has turned out to be low in most students. The prospects of the development of a special program for the training of future teachers as facilitators capable of implementing vital technologies of education have been outlined in the paper.
