The thorough research of theoretical and methodological foundations of fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers by means of integrative training-information technology has been carried out in the dissertation.
The concept of fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers in higher education institutions by means of integrated training-information technology based on systematic, synergetic, humanistic, epistemological, thesaurus, competence, personality-oriented, activity, praxeological, acmeological, axiological and integrative methodological approaches, foreign and domestic experience of professional training of the future social workers under the conditions of modern functioning of higher education has been grounded.
Theoretical generalization of the content of the term «fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers» has been carried out. Accordingly, fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers is considered as a methodological category that reflects the regulatory processes in the educational system, provides the basis for the formation of the systemic fundamental knowledge of the future specialist, gives preference to the scientific worldview, creative thinking, high intelligence, practical skills of the effective use of the received knowledge and value interpersonal relationships.
The essence of integrative training-information technology (determined by the general aims, principles, conceptual provisions of the fundamentalization of professional training and it establishes the structure of readiness of the future social workers for professional activity) has been revealed, which consists in its orientation towards the formation of a competent specialist in institutions of higher education ready for the future professional activity.
We determined the pedagogical conditions of fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers by means of integrated training-information technology in higher education institutions, which are mutually supplemented and realized in a complex manner, promote the creation of a motivational-valuable educational environment in the process of fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers; the direction of studying the disciplines of the cycle of professional training for the fundamentalization of knowledge; the use of professional-oriented situations in training of the future social workers; direction of self-education activity of the future social workers on the fundamentalization of professional training. As a result of realization of pedagogical conditions, the readiness of the future social workers for the implementation of professional social work has been determined. It has been formed through the use of the following methods: brainstorming, discussions, case-method, dialogue of cultures, portfolio, didactic games, simulation-games, professionally-oriented exercises, educational trainings etc.
The structure of readiness of the future social worker for professional activity has been characterized. It consists of motivational-value, fundamental-cognitive, professional-activity and personality-developing components, and is determined by means of criteria (personal, knowledge, activity, developmental) as well as indicators of formation by the four assessment levels: high (constructive-creative), sufficient (professional-functional), satisfactory (limited-executive) and low (partially reproductive).
The pedagogical system of fundamentalization of professional training of the future social workers by means of integrative training-information technology has been theoretically grounded and its structural-functional model, consisting of the target, conceptual-methodological, theoretically-contextual, methodically-practical, performance-assessment blocks, complementing each other has been worked out.
The effectiveness and appropriateness of introducing into the educational process of training specialists of social work of the pedagogical system of fundamentalization of professional training by means of integrative training-information technology in the institutions of higher education has been experimentally proved.
