Forming ICT-competence and social activity among students of teacher training institute by means of interactive forms of education

The paper is concerned with issues of professional pedagogical training. On the basis of the analysis of normative documents in the field of pedagogical education such directions of professional training as furthering of ICT competence and social activity are presented. They are important components of a prospective teacher's competency working in modern conditions of informatisation of education and development of ways of interaction in modern society. It is shown that these directions of training have a common ground. Considering this they can both be formed by using interactive forms of education which assume training in cooperation and which are getting especially popular in connection with processes of modernisation of the general and professional education. All participants of educational process interact, model various situations and together solve the set problems. During realisation of interactive forms of education participants plunge into the atmosphere of business cooperation while solving a problem essential for development of concrete skills and qualities of a future teacher. Interactive forms of education allow to enhance cognitive and cogitative activity of learners, to involve them in the process of training as active participants, to further their skills of the analysis and communicative competences. The paper explores experience in the realisation of such interactive form of education as debate. The scenario of a debate on the problems raised in the video about a teacher is presented, stages and the content of activity of debate participants are described in detail as well. The scenario implies preliminary preparation of both parties: teachers and students during which they have to demonstrate or further their competence in the application of ICT and the same refers to social activity
