PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF FUTURE PRESCHOOL TEACHERS’ INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT

The paper aims to present and experimentally verify pedagogical conditions of the intellectual development of future preschool teachers in the process of professional training at a pedagogical university. The following pedagog-ical conditions have been selected: stimulation of intellectual activity of students during lessons; activation of inde-pendent cognitive activity of students in extra-curricular time; provision of systematic pedagogical quality control of pedagogical knowledge using modern methods of rating assessment; developing students' stable cognitive motiva-tion. The study involved 72 students (32 full-time students and 40 part-time students) of the second and third years of study majoring in Preschool Education. The comparative analysis of the results of the examination of the levels of intellectual development of students in experimental and control groups (both full-time and part-time ones) has proved the effectiveness of the suggested pedagogical conditions of intellectual development of future preschool teachers in the process of professional training at a pedagogical university.
