Possibilities of volunteer organizations and public associations in preparing future teachers for the implementation of educational activities

This article is devoted to describing the possibilities of volunteer organizations and public associations in the preparation of future teachers for the implementation of educational activities. The problem of reducing the role of education becomes especially relevant for higher and secondary vocational education, since future teachers will need to realize the social and economic mission of education in the future. Volunteer activity gives the educational process of the university a social context, and the acquired skills and developed personal qualities will be translated by teachers in their future professional activities. Within the framework of this article, the principles of organizing volunteer activities developed by the team of authors as a condition for preparing for educational activities are described. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, a structural and content model for organizing the participation of future teachers in volunteer activities has been developed. The model is implemented from the first to the fourth year of study, while active participants in the volunteer movement, who have shown leadership and organizational skills, act as mentors for students who are only involved in this activity. Involving students in social activities performs a social function, ensures the formation of their emotional intelligence and empathy, as well as social activity. The activities of public associations are carried out in the university at three levels: university-wide (associations of students from various faculties), faculty and group. The article also presents the stages of organizing the activities of student communities in the university. The participation of future teachers in volunteer activities in the process of their preparation for educational work is carried out on the principles of variability, motivational-value orientation, activity and self-regulation, voluntariness and subjectivity of relations.
