TRAINING OF NATURAL SCIENCE TEACHING STAFF AT A CLASSICAL UNIVERSITY: FOCUS ON NATIONAL PRIORITIES

Abstract

The article reveals a problem related to the training of future science teachers at a classical university. The increasing importance of its further development at the present stage is due, on the one hand, to the further development of the country’s scientific and technological progress and the demand for highly qualified personnel in the fields of natural science and engineering education, and, on the other, to the increased importance of the classical university in the training of teachers capable of successfully educating such personnel. The article reveals the possibilities of classical university education in solving this problem. At the same time, it is noted that these opportunities become effective only if a number of pedagogical conditions are implemented that ensure effective training of future teachers. Such conditions include: the research orientation of the training of future teachers; the creation of an interdisciplinary educational environment; the digitalization of the educational process at the university; the pedagogization of the activities of scientists and teachers of non-pedagogical disciplines who train natural science teaching staff at a classical university.
