Model of Professionally Directed Training of Future Engineer-Teachers

The article provides scientific substantiation and development of a professionally oriented physics training model for future engineering teachers using professionally oriented training. The relevance of the problem, its insufficient theoretical and practical development, as well as the need to resolve the identified contradictions determined the purpose of this article: to substantiate and develop a model of professionally oriented physics training for future engineering teachers. It was determined that physics training should be considered as a process reflecting the interaction of a teacher and applicants for higher education with the involvement of the latter in physics activities that are close to professional ones. It is aimed at developing a professional orientation of an individual, a harmonious combination of theoretical and practical training using the method of interdisciplinary relationships between physics and professionally oriented disciplines by the types and functions of an engineer teacher’s activity. Based on the model of professionally oriented training, a methodology for teaching physics to future engineer teachers was theoretically substantiated and developed, contributing to the formation of knowledge and skills in physics and the ability to apply them in the professional activities of an engineer teacher. The results of the experiment showed that teaching students using the developed methodology helps to increase the level of fundamental and professionally oriented knowledge in physics by 10– 15%; the use of fundamental knowledge in physics to solve problems related to future professional activity when studying disciplines of professional and practical training increased by 25%.
