Іnnovative educational technologies in practical training of students psychologists

Abstract

It is obvious, that the learning process should ideally simulate the process of finding new knowledge. A method of studying when a student is placed in a situation where he himself masters problem solving in the process of studying, to a greater or lesser extent organized by a teacher, is common in foreign pedagogics. This is especially true for psychology students who have to provide psychological assistance in various problem situations in the process of future professional orientation, where the algorithm for solving a particular problem does not always work and there is a need for a creative vision of a solution for the client’s problem.
This article attempts to determine the necessity of applying innovative technologies in high school didactics. The purpose of our article is a scientific analysis of the peculiarities of innovative methods of carrying out practical classes for psychology students, namely, the possibilities of using the method of case-study.
The effectiveness of this method of conducting practical classes with psychology students was analyzed as a case-study, which is progressive since it provides an opportunity to solve problems while forming a profession by psychology students effectively during the creative consideration of situations. Case-study method builds the skills of future psychologists to analyze practical problems of psychology, to develop the ability to make queries for a particular psychological situation.
With this method, students have an opportunity to show and improve their analytical and assessment skills, learn to work in a team, find the most rational solution for a problem. As an interactive learning method, the case-study method gains a positive attitude from students, providing theoretical knowledge and helping to master the practical use of the material; it affects the professionalization of students, promotes their maturing, generates interest and positive motivation in relation to learning.
