Resources for the Formation of Educational Independence of Future Teachers: Activity Games

Abstract

Educational independence is an action that allows a future teacher to discover and subsequently appropriate the meaning and content of professional activities. The modern practice of training at the university often implements reproductive methods of teaching, according to which a future teacher learns to restore the accumulated experience of organizing teaching activities. At the same time, he/she does not master certain ways of constructing the meaning of his/her professional education. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the importance of the implementation of activity games in the university classes, which contribute to the manifestation by future teachers of the initiative in setting the goal of education, mastering their abilities to organize their own activities, and ways to improve it. Empirical research methods clearly demonstrate the need to use activity games as a resource in the formation of educational independence.
