Kushpit U. Integrative Approach to the Development of Professional Foreign Language Competence of Physics Teachers

Professional competence of a physics teacher is the research object. The research aim is theoretically to substantiate and experimentally to verify the pedagogical conditions for applying an integrative approach to the development of a professional foreign language competence of a physics teacher. The research methods: analysis, generalization, modeling, systematization, survey, observation, interviews, questionnaires, testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. For the first time theoretically substantiated and experimentally tested pedagogical conditions of the development of professional foreign language competence of the physics teacher based on an integrative approach (providing the motivation of foreign language training of physics teacher and its implementation in the system “purpose-means-result” (the purpose is a foreign language competence, the means is the use of an integrative approach, and the result is the improving quality of physics teacher training); substantiation of professional competence of the physics teacher “the readiness for foreign language professional activity”; an integrative approach to the development of a foreign language competence of a physics teacher; the development of methods and scientific and methodical support for the implementation of the model); methodological approaches (competence, integrative, structural and systematic) have been defined as a theoretical basis for the development of professional foreign language competence of a physics teacher; the model of the development of professional foreign language competence of physics teacher on the basis of integrative approach has been developed, criteria and levels of formation of professional foreign language competence of teacher of physics have been determined. The methodical foundations of the development of professional foreign language competence of a physics teacher have been improved. The essence of the concept of "professional foreign language competence of a physics teacher" has been clarified. The positions concerning the realization of the possibilities of using the integrative approach in the development of the professional competence of a physics teacher gained further development.
