Features of the education organisation for the students from Turkmenistan, future teachers of physico-mathematical disciplines

Abstract

Ushynsky University has been actively developing the international sphere of activity for a long time, in particular, attracting foreign students to study in it. In this regard, the urgent task for the university is to organise an effective learning process for foreign students in order to ensure high quality educational services within their chosen specialties. Experimental research work on the organisation of education for the students from Turkmenistan was carried out in the process of profession-centred training targeted to the future teachers of physical and mathematical disciplines. Theoretical analysis of the problem and practical methods were used as research methods: questionnaires, observations, certification to identify the conditions for adaptation and the features of the education organisation for the students from Turkmenistan. The factors influencing the adaptation of students to the conditions of education at Ushynsky University have been determined, the motives for their choice to study at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics have been identified. It was found out that the most influential factor hindering the adaptation of foreign students to living and studying in Ukraine are household difficulties. However, the factors such as interpersonal and pedagogical communication were not identified as the ones which hinder their adaptation. This result testifies to the significant potential and positive prospects of the profession-centred training targeted to citizens of Turkmenistan. The results of the survey showed that the most influential motives for obtaining pedagogical education were as follows: foreign students' desire to obtain a diploma of higher pedagogical education and work as a teacher, the prestige of higher education in Turkmenistan, which indicates the conscious choice of most students to study at a pedagogical institution of higher education. The creation of a multimedia educational and methodological complex provided the delivery of information in an interactive mode for distance learning, which had a positive impact on the learning outcomes and was especially relevant in the online framework of the educational process. The prospects for further research are seen in the implementation of the developed methodology in the development of further sections of General Physics.
