Abstract

Introduction-the purpose of the article is to give theoretical justification for the phased design of a cause-and-effect cognitive model; to develop and analyze a cognitive map of the pedagogical situation of this model (as exemplified by analyzing the state of natural science and vocational training in the colleges of the Republic of Tatarstan in the context of integrating new educational and professional standards). The authors tested the hypothesis of the relationship between the identified six factors (when creating a cognitive map) in the process of building a directed graph aimed at developing the student’s cognitive tools. Materials and methods: to objectively determine the problem field of the object under study, presented in the form of a cognitive map, a SWOT- analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of developing the pedagogical state was used based on a survey of college teachers from the Republic of Tatarstan. Processing the results was carried out on the basis of probabilistic assessment methods using complex factors that made it possible to identify strengths, weaknesses, drawbacks, and possible threats of the pedagogical situation under study. Results of the research: a methodology for designing a cause-effect cognitive model of a pedagogical state of natural science and vocational training was theoretically substantiated and developed based on creating and analyzing a cognitive map of this situation in the process of studying the teachers’ opinion on implementing integration processes in the system of Secondary Vocational Education at the regional level. The dynamics of the teachers’ opinion was studied using a SWOT-analysis of the results of a questionnaire which is an adapted didactic tool. It allows describing both quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the six factors identified in the process of building a cognitive map. The scientists’ works on modern Russian professional education in the context of developing cognitive pedagogy were studied and analyzed. Discussion and conclusions: the study quite adequately shows that the SWOT-analysis of the state of natural science and vocational training of the colleges in the RT which is a region with a fairly high level of economic development reveals that amid the generally positive pedagogical situation at the time being studied, a number of shortcomings have been identified: the proportion of teachers with an average age of 50 and 60 is more than 66%; shortage of educational literature; difficulties in designing curricula in accordance with the Federal State Standard-4 Secondary Vocational Education, namely in selecting and correcting educational material; in applying project technology, case-technology, playing technologies; in organizing students’ independent work. The results of the study on the cognitive modeling of the pedagogical situation may be useful to specialists in the field of education, as well as interesting to the general public.
