Case Method in Vocational Training for Future Specialists of Culture and Art

Abstract

Today, the priority task of the higher education institution in the artistic specialty is to prepare a future specialist in the Folk-Art Culture, capable of carrying out creative and innovative activities at a high professional level. One of the effective methods of teaching the humanities is the case study method, but its applicability in the training of cultural and art workers requires adequate research. The study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the case method when training in the Folk-Art Culture specialty. The study used a complex of theoretical (analysis of scientific literature and pedagogical experience in related fields of pedagogy) and empirical (pedagogical experiment) research methods. The article considers the application of the case method in the preparation of specialists in arts and culture and describes several cases applied in the process of mastering folk culture. Results of the research on the influence of the case method on the educational process allow the authors to say that the case method, aimed at independent knowledge acquisition by students, provides for the education of comprehensively developed, responsible, and thinking persons. The main task of a modern educator is to select educational technology adequate to the specialty, forming students' analytical skills, as well as their ability to independently acquire knowledge, apply it in problem-solving, and make a choice in a non-standard situation. The main conclusion of the research is that due to its versatility, the case method can be adapted to the educational process in arts and culture universities at different educational stages.

“…Efremenko et al (2020) indicate that self-study contributes to the preparation of well-rounded, responsible and thoughtful specialists. However, the teacher must organize the learning process so that all students have access to the educational materials needed, as well as an opportunity to consult with teachers.…”

“…Efremenko et al (2020) señalan que el estudio independiente contribuye a la preparación de especialistas responsables, equilibrados y reflexivos.
