INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS IN MODERN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Abstract

Today, in the era of economic and social reforms, the field of education faces new technological challenges associated with new requirements for the training of specialized personnel, changes in the nature of labor, which can be accomplished through the use of innovative approaches in educational institutions, in particular higher ones, and as a result teaching activity. The issue of innovative process development is discussed by many scientists, for example J. Shumpeter, E. Ahmetvaleeva, L. Shavinina, V. Kremen V. I. Zyazyun, S. Barannikov, V. Zazvyaginskii, N. Klarin, M. Kodjaspirova, V. Lyaudis, A. Moiseev, I. Podlasyi, S. Polyakov, A. Prigogine, I. Rybakova, V. Slastenin, S. Sysoeva, P.Schedrovitsky, A. Khutorskii and others. The aim of this study is to describe several innovative methods that could be used in the teaching process, particularly for the students of the economic and pedagogical specialties. In order to reach this, we need to analyze the modern development directions of our economic and pedagogical education and find the best ways to implement new methods. It was substantiated that in order to attract students' attention to the material, it is necessary to use innovative methods (project method, “live library”, visualization), which give positive results both in teaching students (adaptation to real professional life, self- organization, self-management, critical thinking, adaptation to teamwork). ), and in the work of the teacher (teacher-coach, whose main competences are innovations, motivation, punctuality, flexibility, systematic, creativity, teaching skills, knowledge, rationality, etc.) To prepare future teachers it’s significantly important to implement different models of e- education including blended learning. The current study was unable to analyze all aspects of the implementation innovative technologies in teaching activities. Nevertheless, this work contributes to existing knowledges and demonstrates advantages and disadvantages of the modern teaching methods in the different cases. The study found positive results: first, the student is more adaptable in real life. Secondly, the quality of education is increased due to the elements of self- management: self-organization, self-control, time management, self-education. Thirdly, the student begins to think critically about the proposed situation. Fourth, the adaptation of students to teamwork. Thus, the effectiveness of innovative methods of teaching is obvious and evokes interest among the audience. However, it worth mentioning that nothing can substitute real communication and real environment, but ICT can help us to do our teaching- learning work more productive.
