The article describes the conditions, forms, and methods of optimizing research activities of future social workers in the Ukrainian society in unstable times. It aimsto offer a methodical model to develop research skills in future social workers and experimentally verify the system of training them for research activities. The research hypothesis is that one can discover more effective forms and methods of research activities due to the reasonable changes in educational conditions and the consideration of current trends in social work, which will lead to qualitative and quantitative results. Research methods are theoretical (generalization, comparison, pedagogical modelling) and practical (diagnostics, formation). The formative stage of the research provided a logical sequence of three stages: initial (1-2 courses); basic (3-4 courses); professional (1-2 courses of master's level). Experimental diagnostics involved the use of standardized methods, questionnaires, tests, expert evaluation. The total number of EG students was 118 people, the total number of CG students -121. The analysis of the results shows that at the end of the experiment the level of readiness of future social workers for R&D in the experimental sample is much higher than in the control. The number of students with a high level of readiness for R&D in the experimental sample increased by 16.9% and is 24.6% (in the control sample this figure is 13.2%). The effectiveness of the developed system of professional training of future social workers for R&D is ensured by the implementation of certain pedagogical conditions: the formation of motivation for R&D involvement of first-year students; providing research content of disciplines of fundamental, professional and practical training of social workers; use of differentiated learning technology in the process of research training of masters of social work; use of ICT (information and communication technologies).
The article considers the people with muscle-skeleton disorders (hereinafter "MSDs") who suffer from the effects cerebral palsy, myopathy and spinal diseases. The article aims to determine, theoretically justify and experimentally verify the pedagogical conditions for the socialization of people with MSDs in rehabilitation centres. All the respondents had MSDs, namely: 76 respondents-pediatric cerebral palsy; 19 respondents-myopathy; 10 respondents-spinal diseases. It must be noted that 11 respondents, apart from MSDs, had intellectual disabilities (F 71). The experiment involved 59 males and 46 females. The age requirement was the following: 56 respondents aged between 14 and 17; 49 respondents aged between 18 and 19. The socialization programme, verified during the formative experiment, involved working with people with MSDs based on all socialization components; methodological work with the teaching staff of rehabilitation centres; parents. The programme included such specialized courses as Human Rights, Gardenotherapy; dance therapy; photography classes; a support group for parents of children with MSDs. Before the beginning of the experiment, only 11.55% of persons with MSDs had a high level of socialization. After the formative experiment, the number increased to 30.45%. Besides, 44.1% of people have a sufficient level of social skills. The implementation of the designed programme as a condition for the socialization of people with MSDs has made it possible to significantly increase the level of social skills in people with MSDs in the experimental group.
