Abstract

The relevance of the subject under study lies in the use of the latest educational technologies in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. As a consequence, the study focuses on the concept of teaching technology in the psychological and educational literature and on identifying the most optimal teaching programme for institutions of higher education for the implementation of modern innovative technologies. The above listed objectives determine the purpose of this study — to establish and test a curriculum for the implementation of modern psychological and teaching technologies of the educational process in Ukrainian universities. The leading methods included the organisation of experimental research on the development and modelling of the curriculum using the latest technologies. During the establishing and controlling stages of this study, the cross-sectional method was employed to learn the features and regularities of the mental development of higher education students, using the latest psychological and teaching technology in education. The results of the study consider the present-day requirements and demonstrate the necessity of incorporating such technologies as self-development and distance learning. The programme includes recommendations for the most successful implementation of the educational process, guided by the student's personality. The main idea of this programme is “the students are taught by themselves, not by the teacher”. The significance of the results of this study is valuable for conscious students, teachers inspired by their craft, and Ukrainian universities that strive to fill the labour market with prominent specialists, as opposed to graduates with a “plastic diploma”.
