Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the ability of future teachers to organise educational activities on the basis of pedagogical tasks. This research was designed in accordance with the quantitative research method. The study group of the research consists of 448 teacher candidates studying in education faculties of various universities in Kazakhstan in the 2021–2022 academic year. As the data collection tool of the research, the scale of the ability to organise educational activities on the basis of pedagogical tasks was developed by the researchers. As a result of the research, it has been determined that pre-service teachers’ ability to organise educational activities on the basis of pedagogical tasks has a medium level of proficiency in the fields of pedagogical content knowledge and organising educational activities. It is seen that there is no significant difference regarding the ability of the teacher candidates participating in the research to organise educational activities on the basis of pedagogical tasks according to the variables of gender and the department they study in. However, it is seen that there is a significant difference regarding the ability of the teacher candidates participating in the research to organise educational activities on the basis of pedagogical tasks according to the class variable. The significant difference determined that it is in favour of pre-service teachers studying in the third and fourth year. In line with the results of the research, it has become necessary to increase the course content in teacher training programmes in order to improve the formation of teacher candidates’ ability to organise educational activities on the basis of pedagogical tasks.
