CRITERIA, INDICATORS AND LEVELS OF THE AESTHETIC CULTURE FORMATION OF THE FUTURE TEACHERS OF THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE

In pedagogical science, there are different approaches to determining the levels of formation of students' aesthetic culture while being trained in higher education institutions. We emphasized on the level features of the aesthetic culture demonstrated by the future teachers of the Ukrainian language and literature. The aim of the article is to represent methods aimed at determining the formation (proficiency) levels of the aesthetic culture demonstrated by the future teachers of the Ukrainian language and literature as a systemic versatile process that combines the effectiveness of educational components: diagnostic-motivational, person-oriented, cognitivelinguistic, cultural and practical, as a basis for the formation of their aesthetic culture. It has been proved that the determination of the proficiency levels characterising aesthetic culture of the future teachers of the Ukrainian language and literature has specific features. Based on the practical level of knowledge, the motivated interests and a particular proficiency level of aesthetic culture, we have developed our own system enabling the formation and determination of the proficiency level of aesthetic culture demonstrated by the first-year students and some ways of its correction. The components arising from the requirements to the study of literature as well as the criteria for the determination of the proficiency levels characterising the aesthetic culture over a period of an academic year are the centre of our system. The outlined indicators detail the requirements and make it possible to correct the level of students' knowledge, their aesthetic self-improvement and self-realization. Determined by us The determined proficiency levels of the aesthetic culture are, as follows: superficial, partial, based on the students' state of hesitation (meaning the information that directs a teacher and a student for further work to achieve the state of readiness for the aesthetic culture to form). The specificity of the formation of the aesthetic culture demonstrated by every future specialist requires a special methodological approach to the determining of the criteria enabling the evaluation of the effectiveness of both students' academic and aesthetic activities. It opens a wide field for working with students majoring in different specialties related to this important aspect.
