Educational Role-Playing Games in the Normative Behavior Development of Future Engineer-Teachers

The article describes the experience of using educational role-playing games of professional orientation in the process of training specialists in various fields. The authors propose to increase the efficiency of the development of normative behavior of future engineer-teachers through the introduction of professional role-playing games. The latter are presented as an active method of practice-oriented learning, their varieties and features of implementation in the educational process have been characterized. The basis is the deontological approach to ensuring the normativity of specialist behavior. This approach involves familiarization with the norms regulating the behavior of an engineering education teacher, awareness of their role in professional activity through understanding the mechanisms of norm-setting. The results are implemented on the example of bachelors’ professional training at the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy (Kharkiv). Educational role-playing games of professional orientation were used in practical classes in the discipline “Theoretical and Applied Principles of Law”. To implement the practice-oriented paradigm, methodological recommendations for the application of educational role-playing games for the deontological culture development of engineering education teachers in extracurricular activities have been developed. Mechanisms for engaging specialists in the digitalization of educational and gaming activities for the implementation of the online format have been developed.
