Mastering ways of structuring and visualizing information for listeners as a way to improve professionalism of educators in the advanced training system

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The article actualizes the problem of improving the effectiveness of educators by using the means of structuring and visualization of information. The goal of the research is defined as a methodological justification and development of a strategy to improve the professionalism of educators in the system of advanced training, in terms of learning how to structure and visualize information for listeners, mastering additional professional programs. The analysis of the literature has shown that the scientific literature does not sufficiently present the ways of targeted training of educators of institutions of additional professional education. As a methodological basis for the study several bases were put forward: the ideas of E. M. Triesman, dedicated to visual perception of information, as well as strategic approach, providing identification and prioritization in the process of developing additional professional education programs, taking into account the objectives and characteristics of adult listeners' training. The process of designing and implementing the professional development strategy for further professional educators in terms of their mastering the ways of structuring and visualizing information for the listeners of further professional education courses is considered as a research result. The content of the organizational and pedagogical strategy as the author's solution, which is aimed at the effective mastering of the ways of structuring and means of information visualization by the teachers of additional professional education, is discussed. Scientific novelty lies in the substantiation of the need and possibility to improve the competence of educators of institutions of additional professional education in internal training, in terms of structuring and visualization of information for listeners of advanced training courses. The key elements of the strategy for this activity have been identified. Theoretical significance lies in the fact that the proposed organizational and pedagogical strategy can be the basis for the process of improving the professionalism of educators of institutions of additional professional education. Practical significance can be traced in the description of the results achieved in the activities of the research team: the development of an algorithm for the use of methods of structuring and means of visualizing information by educators of institutions of additional professional education; development of a program of advanced training for teachers.
