DIDACTIC FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL TEXTBOOK FOR SPECIAL COURSE OF PROFILE TECHNOLOGY TRAINING OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL ORIENTATION

Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of designing the content of the special course for profile technology training. A number of innovative ideas, methods and approaches were formulated, a structural and functional model was developed, which formed the scientific and theoretical basis for the content designing of the textbook of the special course of engineering and technical orientation “Designing and Constructing of Engineering Objects”. The importance of the special course content was substantiated for pupils’ formation of the design and technological competence, creative technical potential, ensuring the conscious choice of pupils for their future professional activity of engineering and technical orientation. The pedagogical conditions and methodical peculiarities of the content implementation of the special course in the educational process of the lyceum (senior school) were determined on the basis of the competent approach. The peculiarities of the use of the special course were revealed in the educational process in a complex with the profile subject and as a separate course of choice. The importance of the multifaceted and wide-ranging methodical apparatus of the manual for the special course were substantiated for the thorough mastery of pupils with the content of the special course “Designing and Constructing of Engineering Objects”, and the effective fulfillment of the profile training tasks according to its content. The mechanism of quality control of pupils’ knowledge on the basis of design and development activities was determined. The results of experimental testing are presented in order to find out the effectiveness of the manual content of the special course for profile training in technology engineering.
