Mukan Doctor of Sciences (Pedagogy), Professor Professor of the Department of Pedagogy and Innovative Education Lviv Polytechnic National University S. Kravets Senior Instructor of The Department of Foreign Languages Lviv Polytechnic National University THE DEFINITION OF “INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES” CONCEPT The article deals with the issue of formation of the terminological base in the feld of higher education. The purpose of the article is to summarize the results of scientifc research performed by a number of scientists and highlight the main approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “innovative pedagogical technologies”. There has been done the analysis of scientifc and pedagogical literature, which highlights various aspects of the research problem, including the interpretation of such concepts as educational technologies (V. Kuz, O. Yankovych), pedagogical technologies (S. Sysoieva, O. Pyekhota), innovative technologies (O. Dubasenyuk, N. Morze), integrative technologies (I. Baranovska, O. Vozniuk), information technologies in education (B. Bocharov, M. Voyevodina) etc. It has been found that the term “innovation” was frst used in cultural studies in the 19th century. The innovation process is understood as the development of the following stages: production of ideas (introduction of scientifc innovation), practical development and implementation of the ideas. The article presents the structure of the teacher’s innovative activities, which combines components, including creativity and refection, as well as openness to the ideas and views of all participants in the educational process. The interpretation of pedagogical technology is generalized as a set of tools that contribute to the implementation of the latest paradigm of education, ie a set of methods and instruments used by the teacher to achieve learning outcomes. It is concluded that the modern terminological base in the feld of education is formed on the basis of scientifc research on the essence of such concepts as innovation, innovative technologies, educational technologies, pedagogical technologies etc. These concepts refect the specifcs of diversifying the educational process as a result of creative use of the best experience and innovation in modern education. An interpretation of the term “innovative pedagogical technologies”is provided meaning a set of tools, instruments and procedures that characterize the academic environment of higher education institutions, their integrated application being aimed at all-round development of the student’s personality, the students’ cultural, social and professional development being identifed as the learning outcomes. Key words: term, concept, terminological base, innovative technology, pedagogical technology, educational technology, innovative pedagogical technology. Problem statement. Modern development of science, information and communication technologies makes it inevitable to apply innovative technologies not only in production but also in economic, social, cultural, educational and other spheres of society’s life. Among the efective tools of socio-economic and cultural development of the country there is the application of the latest achievements of mankind in the process of professional training of specialists, who are prepared in accordance with the national standards and whose high qualifcation harmonizes with the trends in the international educational space, meets the requirements of modern labor market as well as the interests of employers. According to S. Strilets, many changes in the sphere of education are rooted in new ways of creating, storing, transmitting and using information [14]. New requirements of society to the level of education and personal development cause the need to make changes in technologies of learning and teaching. It is necessary to turn to the interpretation of the basic concepts and categories, which require certain clarifcation. The analysis of recent research and publications. First of all, we emphasize that scientists have repeatedly turned to the interpretation of such concepts as educational technology (N. Koshechko, O. Yankovych), pedagogical technology (E. Fedorchuk, S. Sysoieva), innovative technologies (O. Dubasenyuk, V. Bykov), integrative technologies (I. Baranovska, O. Vozniuk), information technologies in education (B Bocharov, M. Voyevodina) and others. The aim of the article is to summarize the results of scientifc research and to identify the main approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “innovative pedagogical technologies”.
