student research on pedagogy, whether or diploma course work (WRC), should also contribute to the development of science teaching.So the young researcher must be a clear understanding of the function of science teaching, and what methodology of science teaching.
theoretical function is realized in the study and explanation of the advanced pedagogical experience (descriptive level) in the diagnosis of educational activities, educational events (diagnostic level) in experimental studies of pedagogical reality and build models of transformation - pedagogical theories, systems (predictive level).
Technological function is to develop teaching materials required for the implementation of pedagogical concepts, theories (projective level);in approbation of achievements of pedagogical science into educational practice (conversion rate);to assess the impact of the results of educational research on teaching practice and opportunities for its correction (reflective layer).
concept « methodology of pedagogy»
methodology of science teaching a difficult subordinate system consisting of four levels:
a) The philosophical level - the highest level, serves as the foundation of all meaningful methodological knowledge, determines the ideological approach to research.
representing several areas, compatible with the worldview that comes investigated the pedagogical process: Thomism, neo-positivism and dialectical materialism, ontologism gnoseologism, neo-pragmatism and neo-pragmatism, existentialism, globalism and others.
b) the level of general scientific methodological approaches to include all or most of the scientific disciplines, including for teaching.
term "approach" emphasizes the main direction of the research, a kind of point of view on the object of study.In educational research are allocated:
- a systemic approach reflecting the universal connection and interdependence of the phenomena and processes of the surrounding reality;
- an integrated approach involving research deyatelnosi with the full process or phenomenon, as well as all of the essential reasons that impact on the development and use of different means to achieve this goal.
- hermeneutic - reflects the need for the study of understanding, interpretation of texts, symbols, meanings.
- paradigmatic - discloses a method of organization of scientific knowledge
c) specific scientific level - methodological approaches in some special discipline, in this case pedagogy.
Currently, the scientific-pedagogical research highlighted the processes of humanization and historicizing, which involves the allocation of the priority of human values, the introduction of the process of knowing the context of culture and social life.These trends suggest methodological approaches in pedagogical research: anthropological;personality;student-centered;the activity;polysubject;akmeologicheskij;akseologichesky;cultural;the essential;phenomenological;History;logical;civilization;formational.
d) Technological level - a set of methods, techniques of study, ensuring the accuracy of the empirical material and primary processing, after which it is included in an array of scientific knowledge.
methodology of science teaching is needed to build a student of pedagogical research.The quality of pedagogical research allow us to estimate its methodological characteristics, reflected in the introduction:
relevance of the study, the problem is a subject of study, the purpose and objectives issledovanaiya hypothesis (or basic provisions for the defense), the methodological basis of the research, research methods, sources of research.
methodology of science teaching , disclosed in the above characteristics of student work optimally quickly determine the direction of the choice of historical, theoretical and practical material for the study.
