Development of Social Activity of Engineers-Pedagogues as a Social Skill in Online Education

The article is devoted to the topical issue of developing the social ac- tivity of students - future engineers-pedagogues. The significance of this characteristic for an engineer-teacher is determined by his/her need for self-realisation and the possibility of pedagogical influence on the formation of social activity of students in the professional training process of vocational-technical educational institutions. The complexity of this characteristic and its structure require attention to creating conditions for the formation and development of its components in an educational institution. The socialising environment of an educational institution as a set of influences on the personality of various factors in modern objective (pandemics, internal and external migration, etc.) and subjective (preference for additional education, involvement in lifelong learning, etc.) conditions takes online forms. An attempt is made to build a holistic system for the development of social activity of engineers-pedagogues as a social skill to ensure the positive impact of the socialising environment on the development of social activity components (interests, needs and values; their level of perception and nature of implementation). The developed system involves the involvement of students in the programme of activities in three areas of influence on the personality (motivational, cognitive, behavioral), each of which has its own tasks. The types of activities in the online format for each block are revealed. Examples of the introduction of online forms for the development of social activity of students at the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy (UEPA) are given.
