Increasing effective students’ engagement in study

Abstract

The study stresses out the interest that pedagogy specialist’s show towards education and mostly tries to find proper methods to improve pre-service teacher training. A career in teaching and education has become unattractive for new generations of graduates and we will point out the reasons that led to a low interest for this career: low social value of teaching profession, low income, and lack of students` interest for learning. More and more specialists draw attention upon the fact that education and educational institutions are in a serious crisis. It is a warning for both theoreticians and practitioners. We believe that education is more than a science; it contains also elements of art because it involves judgements, feelings and values. It is necessary for future teachers to be aware of the role and importance of metacognitive self-training in becoming good professionals.
