Collaborative Learning Technologies as a Tool for the Development of Cognitive Involvement of Students – Future Teachers

Relevance. Trends in the development of education are associated with the development of new learning technologies that provide high-quality and effective training of future teachers. The indicators of the quality of higher education include involvement, including cognitive involvement, which shows how much students participate in the educational process, how successfully they master the educational material. The researchers found that the higher the level of involvement in educational activities of students is, the more successfully they learn and more effectively use their education in later life. The technology of collaborative learning has special opportunities, which allow students to exchange knowledge and experience, consider the topic from different points of view; get additional motivation and support; develop social skills; besides, it prepares future teachers for real professional situations and tasks, fully corresponding to the needs of modern educational organizations. The technology of collaborative learning has a special potential when developing the involvement of future teachers.

Aim. To determine the possibilities of the technology of collaborative learning in the development of cognitive involvement of students – future teachers.

Methodology. The study is based on the analysis of theoretical approaches and applied research of collaborative learning, cognitive involvement, analysis of the possibilities of collaborative learning technology in the development of cognitive involvement in the preparation of bachelors of «Pedagogical Education»; expert assessment, questionnaires and surveys of students at Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin and the State University of Education, and such methods of mathematical statistics as U-Mann-Whitney criterion, analysis of student activity products.

The scientific novelty/theoretical and/or practical significance consists in determining the theoretical foundations of the technology of collaborative learning as a tool for the development of cognitive involvement of a student, in the development of stages of technology at the level of higher pedagogical education, methods for assessing the cognitive involvement of students in the implementation of collaborative learning.

Conclusions. The technology of collaborative learning in the development of cognitive involvement of students – future teachers is scientifically substantiated. Based on the results of the approbation, the possibilities of collaborative learning in the development of cognitive involvement of students are presented, the features of the practical application of this technology in the pedagogical practice of educational organizations are substantiated.
