The Project of Modernization of Pedagogical Education (at the request of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation)

From April 2014 to November 2017, Elabuga Institute of KFU was part of the universities that carried out the Project for the Modernization of Pedagogical Education, consisting of two stages.

Participation in the first stage began with the fact that in April 2014 the Institute won a competition for the execution of the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation "Strengthening the practical orientation of training future teachers in undergraduate programs within the framework of the enlarged group of specialties" Education and Pedagogy "in the direction of training "Pedagogical education " (Teacher of basic general education) on the basis of organizing the network of educational organizations implementing programs of higher education and basic general education".

It was one of a series of federal projects aimed at supporting the education development program for 2011-2015. Its feature, in relation to other similar projects, was the focus on the training of subject teachers - the most massive part of the teaching. The importance of the project was determined by the interest of Russian universities in participating in its execution on the terms of co-execution.

During the project, a kind of project cluster was created, which included 9 secondary schools and 5 universities: Udmurt State University, Nizhny Novgorod and Chuvash State Pedagogical Universities, Volgograd State Socio-Pedagogical University, Glazov Korolenko State Pedagogical Institute.

Despite the extremely tight deadlines, serious results were achieved during the implementation of the project: a new model of practical-oriented training of pedagogical personnel was developed and tested, the basic part of the main professional educational program was developed and reviewed, taking into account the requirements of the Professional Standard of the Teacher and including five main educational modules.
