Challenges of experimental research in education

Abstract

To modernize the national system of education, to enhance teachers’ excellence or even to change the direction of professional teaching activity, it is important to upgrade pedagogical science and provide its practical orientation. In this regard, there is a necessity to look differently at the role and methods of experimental research in education.

Accordingly, modern educator must fulfill the requirements of modern society; he/she be creative and learned, be able to analyze the experience and see prospects that means to be a researcher.

The existing views on experimental research are developed under conditions of functioning of stable or standard programme in the unified state school. But currently, institutional diversity and a wide range of teaching methods can be considered the most significant features of educational system.

These features suggest that pedagogical staff at the institution can design and implement their own educational technologies. Consequently, we observe a sharp increase in number of teaching approaches and methods within the educational process that leads to the explosive growth of pedagogical phenomena.
