APPROVAL OF AN INTEGRATIVE METHODOLOGICAL SYSTEM OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR ART STUDENTS AT OPEN AIR

Abstract

The article presents results of development and testing of an integrative methodological system for professional training, education, and development of students in art-related fields in the context of open-air practices. The study is conducted at the Faculty of Art and Graphics of Kuban State University and several other universities in Russia, involving 350 students. The tasks of analyzing scientific and methodological literature, identifying leading methodological approaches, developing a competence-based modular model (methodological, target, content, communicative, and reflective-resultative modules), and testing an illustrated program, educational and methodological complex, and electronic educational resource were consistently addressed. During the experimental test, which involved control and experimental groups, a significant increase in the quality of special training in spiritual and moral education and creative development of students was observed, as well as an increase in the level of professional competencies by the third year of study (originality, creativity, and self-expression), and an increase in motivation for professional activity. It has been proven that the proposed integrative methodological system, based on selected approaches and interdisciplinary and intra-disciplinary connections, contributes to the effective training of students in the field of art education through open-air practices.
