Educational cinema festival as a mechanism for sharing the experience of problem-value communication of a teacher with the subjects of education in the system of informal advanced training

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. Development of professional skills of educators as mentor is one of the urgent problems of education due to internal and external objective circumstances. Therefore, mastery improvement can be a stable internal need of an individual, supported by external reasons, as well as a consequence of systematically organized professional development, focused on the translation of pedagogical experience. However, the experience of the authors of the article shows that even if teachers mastered a new technology, method, technique, etc. the knowledge and skills received do not become part of their personal professional experience and are not applied in their practical activities. One of the reasons for this negative trend is that the received knowledge, abilities, skills were not the result of emotional and sensual cognition, were not “lived” by the teacher. The presence of such a contradiction led to the goal of our research: to identify the potential of the cinema festival as a mechanism of translation of pedagogical experience in non-formal education of a teacher as a mentor. The methodological basis of the conducted research is the event approach and the theoretical foundations of non-formal education. The following methods were used in the research: analysis of theoretical and empirical research, analysis and generalization of pedagogical experience, including own experience of cinema festival organization, implemented by the authors of the article. Based on the analysis of the essential characteristics of the leading concepts of the study, the results of the article reveal the components of the mechanism of translation of pedagogical experience of problem-value communication of subjects of education: axiological, target, organizational, structural, and reflective. Each of the components of the mechanism is presented taking into account the peculiarities of preparing and conducting the educational film festival “Growing up together”, the leading activity of which is the problem-value communication of teachers with the subjects of education, aimed at creating situations of empathy and comprehension of norms, values, meanings of demonstrated films. The outlined components of the mechanism of translation of educational experience can be the basis for the design and implementation of other forms of non-formal additional education and development of advanced training courses.
