The article under review deals with innovative heuristic diagnostics approach to higher school studies. Today in Ukraine highly qualified multidisciplinary professionals with knowledge of foreign languages, ready to accept new and progressive trends and to participate in international cooperation and the formation of new attitude to Ukraine in Europe and worldwide are needed. An important role in the formation and training of such professionals belongs to pedagogical diagnostics. Quality performed diagnostic procedures require adequate criteria for measuring personal progress made by students in the creation of meaningful educational products. Our experimental work was carried out at Sumy National Agrarian University. The main focus of our experiment was aimed to determine the development of students’ theoretical knowledge of the subject «Professional direction of foreign language skills». The aim of this course, according to the State standard of teaching foreign languages, is mastering practical knowledge of speech units and theoretical knowledge of the rules of their formation, theoretical knowledge of the language system, i.e. lexical, grammatical, phonological and orthographic competences, country study knowledge. We have defined four levels of development and gave their characteristics. At the elementary level, students were limited to memorization and repetition of material from the textbook and implementation of relatively complex but common tasks. The second level – reproductive is shown by attempts of theory elements interpretation. Third level is characterized by the application of assimilated knowledge. The criteria for forming the fourth, heuristic, level of learning is the availability of theoretical understanding of principles and the ability to create students’ own theoretical knowledge. Levels of development of theoretical knowledge by students at every stage of learning correspond to the content of the subject and to the recommendations of the Council of Europe obtained to establish the State standard of teaching foreign languages in Ukraine. After the series of heuristic lessons control group of students were asked to write an essay to identify the level of development of theoretical knowledge. We have identified the following criteria: volume of written work, appearance and structure, comprehensiveness of content, lexical richness, grammatical competence development level. Our experiment results showed constant tends to increase the level of development of theoretical knowledge of the experimental group comparing to the relatively minor changes in the control groups. Thus heuristic learning diagnostics tools are used for increasing academic motivation and encouraging future professionals to efficient creative study comprehension.

Ukraine joining the single European educational and scientific space needs changes in higher education. The realities of our time require constant creative development, movement to the unknown. Heuristic teaching is based on the use of certain specific interrelated operations, i.e. the mechanisms of heuristic activity. Our study has revealed that the issue of heuristic exploration of theoretical knowledge of the humanities is not well resolved, as well as the issue of heuristic mechanisms for their implementation in the system of higher agricultural education. The mechanisms designed for heuristic methods development of new theoretical knowledge should be aimed at developing productive thinking of the students. The effectiveness of all heuristic methods appears to establish links between the conscious and subconscious, intuition that «draws» the right information. We have attempted to summarize described in various scientific sources heuristic techniques. So, we may distinguish six common heuristic methods (analysis, transformation, transmission, reversion, induction, synthesis), which are divided into thematic techniques used to solve a certain number of tasks. The curriculum for a foreign language teacher sets the task to form the students’ theoretical basis of the language aspects: phonetics, grammar, lexicology, stylistics. During the process of learning the new theoretical knowledge the instructor provides attentive and systematic perception of new material in the form of heuristic conversation, the students record the basic principles and use different variants of definitions, assessments, interpretations. Then the students are given the opportunity using various mechanisms of heuristic creativity transform the basic theoretical knowledge according to their own understanding and degree of readiness to learn basic concepts, facts, patterns, synthesis, evaluation. Thus, we can single out the conceptual principles of educational process: 1) the formation of new theoretical knowledge is based on heuristic conversation and should be combined with independent work of the students, 2) a teacher deliberately creates problematic situations, the students have to analyze them and settle the problem,3) evaluation is given mainly according to the ability to apply earlier theoretical knowledge in the new environment. The process of mastering theoretical knowledge is transformed into various forms of constructive mental retrieval in a foreign language, so there is a shift to an active creative interaction.
