Abstract

According to the requirements to in-service teachers in the Russian Federation pedagogical forecasting is considered one of the educator's professional functions. Pedagogical students are to be taught acquisition of forecasting skills in undergraduate and postgraduate teacher training programs. The difficulties of forecasting lie in the accuracy of predictions. One of the means to teach forecasting accuracy to pedagogical students is to train them to predict their academic success early and late in the academic year. The paper introduces the definition of pedagogical forecasting, its structure and methods. The process of forecasting in teachers' activities is described. The methodology applied includes case study. Data sets have been obtained collecting students' opinions via conversational interviewing. The research sample consists of students enrolled in foreign languages teaching programs. The research conducted in a Teacher Training University in 2018-2019 shows students' forecasting accuracy of test scores early and late in the term. The level of students' accuracy of forecasting test scores is analyzed. To explore the relationship between students' forecasting accuracy and achievement the Pearson product moment correlation is implemented.
