Structural-organizational model of preparation of future economists in agrotechnical colleges

The problem of modeling the process of forming the readiness of future specialists of the economic profile in colleges of the agrarian sphere by means of information and communication technologies is considered in the article. Approaches to definition of model in pedagogy and modeling of the training process are highlighted/ The stages of simulation are considered. The model of professional training of future economists by means of information and communication technologies is developed. The model contains blocks: target, conceptual, organizational and technological, estimated and productive. The target block envisages the purpose and tasks of the professional training of economists. The conceptual block contains approaches and principles of training, components of readiness, features of preparation of future economists in agrotechnical colleges. Organizational-technological unit provides organizational and pedagogical conditions for ensuring an effective process of preparation of future economists, stages of preparation, forms, methods, means and technologies of training. The organizational and pedagogical conditions were determined and implemented in the course of experimental research by the basic element of the developed structural-organizational model. These conditions include: the use of information and communication technologies for the organization of various forms of learning, activation of cognitive activity by means of information and communication technologies, organization of distance learning based on the Moodle system as a component of computer-oriented education of future economists. The evaluative-result block of the model includes: criteria for the formation of readiness (motivational-orientational, cognitive, activity), level of readiness formation (low, average, sufficient, high) and the result of training
