Abstract:

In the given work the problem of training and education of students at higher technological schools in the context of the personal formation of a future expert – technologist under the influence of psycho-pedagogical support (PPS) is investigated. The basic criteria confirming the efficiency of PPS helped us to choose the following indicators of cognitive and personal development: thinking, intelligence, impulsiveness and morals. The primary PPS goals of training and education of students at higher technological school were: application of pedagogical diagnosis; use of various methods of education; consideration of merits and abilities of students; formation of a positive self-appraisal; training of the self-stimulation positive behavior technique. To solve the highlighted problems the following methods have been applied: the organization and holding of conversations and seminars on self-education within the limits of the developing at the university system of students’ moral education; holding some lectures on psychology and pedagogics for strengthening the liberal-moral component of vocational training; the socio-psychological training directed on the formation of communicative skills, the development of abilities to come into contact with associates, helping to remove the internal barriers, disturbing the effective interaction but promoting the consciousness of personal qualities; the self-reports of students stimulating internal activity and work of consciousness. The efficiency of PPS influence on training and education of students at the higher technological school is confirmed by the fact that students have increased their analyticity of thinking, have raised their IQ level while impulsiveness has decreased and the indicator of good manners has improved. The presented PPS model is a part of the innovative system of psycho-pedagogical support of vocational training of students at higher school that we have been developing throughout a number of years.
