RESEARCH ASPECT OF THE WORK OF THE METHODIST OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC DISCIPLINES: KEY FEATURES АND MECHANISMS

Summary. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of methodological support of teachers of history, law and civic education by highlighting the elements of media literacy, focusing on memorable dates in the history of the Ukrainian state-building process through the prism of research in teacher training. Emphasis is placed on practice-oriented formats of classes. Some of the key (as of today) aspects of thematic vectors of teacher training (media literacy, commemoration of memorable events within the Ukrainian statehood, etc.) are highlighted. During the coverage of various vectors within the framework of work with students of advanced training courses, a structural-chronological approach to the coverage of the issue was applied. It is determined that the implementation of practice-oriented formats of activities contributes to the development of and subject competencies, the formation of valuable skills and abilities necessary for orientation in the vortex of different areas of research.


Introduction.
We live in a period of progressive activities related to decentralization and the rapid education reform. "Est quoque cunctarum novitas carissima rerum", which translated from Latin means: "Novelty is the most expensive thing of all things". This statement does for our modern educational realities best of all. A teacher of history, law and the integrated course "Civic Education" must have a range of knowledge, skills and abilities on the implement of key and subject competencies of students. In this context, one of the leading places is occupied by professional development of teachers. At the same time, self-educational activities are also an integral form of replenishing one's own treasury of knowledge for the implementation of today's tasks.
Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to highlight key aspects of thematic vectors of in-service teacher training, within which the core is the introduction of media literacy elements into the educational process, themes of scientific processing of web resources and web sources, focusing on the content of memorable dates, public holidays, etc.
Research methods. In this regard, the study of historical experience, analysis and evaluation of historical events, facts, previous theories in the context of their origin and development are of particular importance. The general scientific methodology for studying the object of study is a systemactivity approach, which has become widespread in modern scientific developments. This approach indicates a certain component of human activity.
Among its most important components are necessity -subject -objectprocesses -conditions -result. This creates an opportunity to comprehensively explore any area of human activity.
Research results. In today's educational realities and in the conditions of a stratified Ukrainian society, the "element" mentioned above is important for building a democratic community of citizens with a conscious attitude to various political, social, spiritual, educational and economic processes. It is through the prism of the educational process that it is possible to form a critical and holistic worldview of our young compatriots in order to develop our state in a 226 democratic way. The conceptual basis of the individual's attitude to certain historical events through the prism of retrospect is influenced by many "agents of socialization": the media, the educational institution, the circle of communication, specifics of work / study, views prevailing in the family, etc.
Taken the above into account, it is advisable to find mechanisms that help to protect the growing generation from "historical fakes", which negatively affect the formation of national self-identification and the creation of a holistic Ukrainian narrative. The conscious attitude to the source base used in the works of scientists and the involvement in independent work in the archives is a mechanism of action to fight "historical fakes" that are spreading in Ukraine and abroad. Electronic libraries (Reading [5] and Diasporiana [6]) promote acquaintance with the wide content of research of the scientists who are representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora. In modern conditions, the Russian Federation is trying hard to influence the consciousness of the Ukrainian citizens. It should be noted that 227 among a number of Russian historians who study historical events that took place during the XVI-XVIII centuries, the obvious exception is T. Tairova online" [7], the National Library of Ukraine named after VI Vernadsky [8].

The teacher's preparation for lessons should be informative and multifaceted. In this context, the development of research skills of the subject teacher is important. In particular, in addition to full-time, distance advanced training (for teachers of history, law and the integrated course "Civic Education"), one of the leading places is occupied by the activities of permanent seminars that are actively functioning in the intercourse period. Their work allows to provide training of a competitive specialist in the conditions of modernization of education in Ukraine to the innovative pedagogical activity; to disseminate, generalize and implement APE (advanced pedagogical experience) of master teachers in the educational space of the region. The seminar as a form of training is characterized by flexibility. As a result of conducting practiceoriented classes, the level of advanced training students increases not only in the context of awareness of a number of issues, but their creative (as their students') activity, that becomes a successful guarantee of mastering new "methodological interests" intensifies.
In the current educational realities, raising the level of awareness of teachers of social sciences concerning working with web resources on historical themes and various types of historical sources is an urgent need. The ability to research historical sources and navigate in the information environment contributes to the formation of critical thinking of students and teachers. The web content is a direct translation loan word from English, where the word "content" means "content". This is a collective term for any information contained in an information resource. When it comes to web resources, the better it will be, the better it is for promoting the site. For example, content of news sites, blogs, etc. At the same time, in the context of teaching and studying the history of Ukrainian state formation, it is advisable to create web content on certain topics. Key milestones in the history of the Motherland can be highlighted by creating online folders with different types of materials that would combine the use of web resources, historical sources and also work with them. It is advisable to create a folder ("e-content"), in which the necessary materials with a range of applications. In particular, it (it) can be called as follows: "Elaboration of web resources and historical sources." In the folder you can place: -electronic materials taken from the well-known historical sites (to the independent choice of teachers and students; the main condition: articles, monographs, preprints, textbooks and encyclopedias must relate to the general theme presented in the content folder); -articles by students / teachers; -exercises that involve working with historical sources of various kinds; -reference lists of sources and literature, which cover the process of Ukrainian state formation in historical retrospect [9].
Thus, thematic online cases, which are freely available on the "Internet-Cloud" at the disposal of a teacher, will promote the creative mastery of -articles and theses [11].
It is advisable and effective in the context of practical orientation of the events to conduct the above-mentioned permanent seminars. At the same time, on the eve of their conducting, the tasks should be clearly outlined. They should also be read and taken into account by seminar participants. In this case, it is advisable to set the following tasks: One of the key tasks is to draw interdisciplinary parallels by attracting on achievements from different disciplines: history, the Ukrainian language and 232 literature, geography, art, etc.; to give preference to game forms of information presentation. It is advisable to use information posted on the blogs of students / teachers posted on the Internet, in which they will briefly talk about key events related to important public holidays and significant dates. In this way, children will develop informational, axiological and other competencies. It is from how we will educate students now, the future of Ukraine depends. We should also remember the words of famous O. Dovzhenko: "A nation that does not know its history is a nation of blind people" [15]. Course and intercourse formats of advanced training require the head of advanced training skills to master the range of innovative methods and technologies for the development of different types of thinking, key knowledge for conducting the lesson on a competency basis and active self-motivational activities for further participation in thematic intercourse events dedicated to current pedagogical issues.
In the coming years, the prospect is to update the forms and methods for organizing and conducting retraining of teachers and their participation in a number of intercourse activities that will produce research, project activities, active implementation of elements of distance learning, etc.
