Metasubject competence and the "inverted class": one of the options for solving problems set by the Federal State Educational Standard? (Experience in the application of the technology in the course "ICT in language education")
The Russian 3rd generation Federal Education Standard emphasizes, as a goal of education, the shaping of a personality, possessing the competencies needed for life and a successful professional career in the XXI century. The most important of these competences are meta - disciplinary competences, such as the ability to self-study and to apply the acquired knowledge in life. The constituents of these meta-competences are the information skills based on critical thinking and communicative skills based on constructive ethical dialogue. The paper describes the experiment of using “flipped classroom” technology in the “ICT in Teaching Languages” course for developing the following meta-disciplinary skills: the ability for self-study ; the ability to process information, to generalize, to formulate and speak out one’s point of view, i.e. the development of monologue skills ; the ability to conduct a civilized discussion, to adequately join it, to reasonably support the interlocutor or object to her/him, i.e. the ability to conduct a dialogue. The results of the experiment are discussed and the conclusion is made about the efficacy of the “flipped classroom” technology but also about the necessity to adapt it to the specifics of the Russian education system.
