The dissertation research provides a comprehensive solution to the problem of modern pedagogical science and practice – the formation of methodological culture of future choreography teachers in higher education institutions.
The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test the pedagogical conditions of forming methodological culture of future choreography teachers.
Scientific novelty of the obtained results. It was the first time when the pedagogical conditions of forming methodological culture of future choreography teachers were determined and substantiated (namely, integration of professional, pedagogical and artistic disciplines in the process of training future choreography teachers; actualization of the research component of professional training of future choreography teachers in higher education institutions; intensification of the synergistic and creative nature of applying pedagogical and interpretive, methodological and polyartistic skills in the artistic and professional activity of future choreography teachers); a model consisting of three blocks (target, content, resultative) was developed, each of these blocks is characterized by local opportunities, while their interrelationship reflects the system-like and holistic unity of methodological approaches and pedagogical conditions, which provides the opportunity to purposefully influence professional and identificatory, intellectual and operative, aesthetic and intentional components of the methodological culture of future choreography teachers; the structure of methodological culture of future choreography teachers (professional and identificatory, intellectual and operative, aesthetic and intentional components) was improved; criteria for their evaluation (projection-based, instrumental, individual and instructional) were developed, indicators of forming methodological culture of future choreography teachers were determined (according to the projection-based criterion: professional and scientific worldview, professional and pedagogical reflection; by instrumental criterion: research and analytical skills, awareness of principles, techniques and procedures of pedagogical methodology, according to individual and instructional criterion: artistic competence, artistic and pedagogical mentality); content characteristics of the levels of formation of future choreography teachers’ methodological culture (professionally-normalized (low), methodically-personalized (satisfactory), reflective and self-projective (high) were described; the methods of diagnosing personal and professionally significant qualities of future choreography teachers were further developed.
The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the development of methods for forming the methodological culture of future choreography teachers in higher education institutions (professional and modelling, constructive and technological, creative and developmental stages); development of the program of the elective course for students of the first educational level “bachelor” majoring in 014 Secondary education (Choreography) “Fundamentals of forming methodological culture of future choreography teachers”. The research materials can be used in the system of higher education to update the content of professional training of future choreography teachers in institutions of higher pedagogical education, namely: to improve the content of normative disciplines “Pedagogy”, “Pedagogy of Higher Education”, “Pedagogy of Art”, “Methods of teaching choreography”, “Methods of teaching an integrated course “Art”; during the students’ training (introductory) and active (industrial) practice, performance of course and qualification works; in the system of continuous, postgraduate education and advanced training of pedagogical staff.
