The authors of the article consider the importance of cooperation skills as some of soft skills of a person. The significance of developing these skills from preschool age on is emphasized. The influence of children's experimentation on their all-round development and readiness of senior preschool children to study at school is considered. The interrelation between group activities in the process of experimentation and the development of senior preschoolers’ cooperation skills is shown. Based on the observation of children's activities in the process of experimentation, the educator’s participation in this process and the survey of senior preschoolers and educators reveal the aspects of the organization of children’s group activities that have to be improved. The peculiarities of the educator's participation at all stages of the experiment done by senior preschool children in groups are analyzed – during the goal setting, discussion of the experimental procedure, summarizing, as well as during the verbal report on the results of the experiment. Emphasis is placed on the fact that it is important to organize experimentation centres at preschool institutions, which will allow children to freely experiment and form a team to carry out search activities. The psychological and pedagogical conditions for the children's experimentation in groups being organized at preschool institutions by educators for the successful formation of senior preschoolers’ cooperation skills are formulated.
The authors of the article analyzed the features of using the innovative BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) technology in the formation of research competence of master's degree students. The European experience of applying BYOD technology is analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the relevant use of this technology in higher education institutions, which is related to the digitalization of the educational process, the pandemic and martial law in Ukraine. The results of the ascertaining phase of the pedagogical experiment are presented, the participants of which were master's degree students of Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University and Mykhailo Drahomanov Ukrainian State University (Kyiv). The students are enrolled in such academic programs as “Pedagogy of Higher Education. Tutoring”, “Counseling”, “Preschool Education. Primary Education”, “Preschool Education. Speech Therapy”, “Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy".The article reveals the educational potential of BYOD technology for the formation of scientific research competence of master's degree students. It is noted that the use of this technology in terms of offline, online and mixed studying helps higher education students acquire skills necessary to analyze, generalize, systematize and compare information. In addition, information retrieval and critical analysis skills are successfully formed. The differences in the application of this technology in conditions of individual and group work with master’s degree students are shown.
The importance of the problem of developing the future teachers` professional thinking as a condition for their effective pedagogical activity is actualized in the article; different approaches of scientists to its interpretation are analyzed. Professional pedagogical thinking is interpreted as a necessary basis for providing future teachers with research skills, developing their pedagogical intuition and key operations, procedures of scientific thinking, forming professional reflection skills. The task approach to the organization of the educational process is such that it involves the introduction into the content of training programs for professionals of applied nature, which allow first to mentally construct different options for solving practical problems of different levels of complexity, to predict their effectiveness, and only then to design the plane of their application in practice, to reflect.
The socio-economic and political features of the development of Ukrainian society necessitated the revision of educational guidelines and their value-target orientation. The article analyzes the main vectors of the development of the theoretical and practical foundations of the theory of education. In retrospect, the goals of education are analyzed, the analysis of their dynamics in the works of foreign and domestic teachers is presented. The authors attribute to the main vectors of the development of education: awareness of the purpose of education, interaction of various social institutions, updating the content, methods and technologies of education, raising the level of the teacher's professional and pedagogical culture. It is emphasized the need to match the new strategy of educational work with the objective challenges of the time, current socio-cultural problems. The priority significance of setting the subjectivity of the educational process as its main creative force, capable of turning education into a truly creative process, transferring it into a mode of self-education, providing conditions for the full-fledged formation of a personality, revealing its individual resources while relying on motivational, need-based and cognitive spheres, is being updated , the realization of the individual's right to master the highest values of human existence, the right to achieve peaks in personal and professional development. With this approach, a person is considered as an active, self-organizing subject who independently sets tasks and determines the ways of his forward movement. The opinion is asserted that the key vector of the development of the modern theory of education is the development of Ukrainian statehood as a consolidating factor in the development of Ukrainian society, which is the basis of the system of national-patriotic education. The most important priority of national-patriotic education is the formation of a valuable attitude of the individual towards the Ukrainian people, the Motherland, the state and the nation.
