Methodology for Assessing the Level of Methodological Competence of It Teachers

The article presents the results and analysis of an experimental study on the development of methodological competence of teachers of IT disciplines in the framework of their advanced training on the online. The purpose of the article is to disseminate certain results of the study from the point of view of theoretical and methodological aspects. The task of the experiment stage was to diagnose the level of formation of methodological competence of teachers of IT disciplines of the control and experimental groups according to four key criteria of methodological competence: didactic, design, monitoring and personal. The determination of the level of formation of methodological competence skills was made using five levels: advanced, high, medium, acceptable and low, for each key criterion of the teacher's methodological competence. The experimental part of the study was conducted with teachers of IT disciplines of universities in Kazakhstan during the 2023-2024 academic year. As a result of the experimental work, a diagnosis of the development of methodological competence of teachers of IT disciplines was developed, which is of a complex nature: substantive - in the form of tests, tests of various nature on the content of course training; activity - in the form of assessment for each type of practical work of a methodological orientation (drawing up work programs for the subject, technological map of the lesson, problem tasks, etc.) ; communicative – on the basis of questionnaires, tests, analysis and self-analysis (on the development of speech culture, behavior in society, skills to organize attention, students' activities, work in pairs and groups, etc.). In the formation of a set of diagnostic methods, the emphasis was placed on methods based on self-diagnosis, which contributes to the process of self-knowledge and self-analysis of a particular person. The authors also note that despite the variety of definitions, all studies have a common semantic basis - correlation with the labor market and social policy of society. These two parameters play an important role in determining the content of competencies, based on the psychological and biological characteristics of the individual. In the course of the study, the validity of the methods used was checked, and the results were presented, which indicate the need to develop recommendations aimed at improving the level of methodological competence of teachers of IT disciplines.
