Method of thematic immersion in the information educational environment as a tool for the formation and assessment of professional competence of future engineering teachers

Abstract

The paper describes the technique of thematic immersion in the information educational environment for the formation and assessment of professional competence of future engineering teachers. The theme of immersion is the development of electronic educational resources by future engineering teachers. The development of electronic educational resources is carried out in an environment as close as possible to the professional environment of the engineering teacher. In this environment, future engineering teachers are included in the pedagogical activity related to the themes of immersion. At the same time, learning acquires an activity character, that is, the formation and assessment of competence are carried out in the course of students’ practical activity: in the process of creating electronic educational resources. In order to take into account the various options for the manifestation of competence under the thematic immersion, a system of particular and synthesis indicators has been formed and a model for the integrated assessment of competence has been developed. The results of the technique experimental verification have been considered and directions for its further improvement have been outlined.
