CONSTRUCTIVISM AS A TRAINING TECHNOLOGY IN PREPARING EDUCATION GRADUATE STUDENTS FOR SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH ACTIVITY USING ICTs

This article presents the technology of constructivism as a training technology in preparing education graduate students for scientific and research activity using information and communication technologies (ICTs). Objectives of research: to consider the theoretical aspect of the constructivism technology, to apply it in preparing education graduate students for scientific and research activities using ICTs. Research methods: independent characteristics generalization method, analysis, comparison. Constructivism is an interpretation of the origin of knowledge about the essence of things, the genetic theory of knowledge. It is based on the fundamental function of the cognitive process of the surrounding reality. As a result of the cognitive activity, in constructivism attention is drawn to the interpretation of the essence of phenomena and objects of the world, their understanding and personal comprehension are developed. The main principles of constructivism are: the learning process is active, the learner applies his knowledge and experience to realize new knowledge, a phenomenon, a system of phenomena; the basis for creating new knowledge is intelligent actions; they provide for communication and social activity; the learning activity is contextual; it requires time and motivation. Considering the provisions of constructivism within the framework of the learner-centered education paradigm, it is understood that their use can be efficient in preparing education graduate students for scientific and research activities using ICTs. Results of research: in preparing education graduate students for scientific and research activities using ICTs, the technology of constructivism is used, in the implementation of which situations are created in which learners feel successful and get involved in an independent search for ways to solve learning problems, which makes the learning process productive.
