Authentic pedagogy is a vivid example of modern trends in pedagogical theory and practice, which indicates the transition from routine forms of activity to intellectual ones. Analyzing the materials presented in the video lecture, we can come to the conclusion that authentic pedagogy is focused on the principles of the co-constructivist theory of cognition and its orientation to activities involving the connection of social forms with active and creative forms of work. Based on this, the application of the basics of authentic pedagogy in the training of future specialists will allow us to obtain the main result, which consists in the activity competence of future specialists and their ability to take responsibility for their own knowledge and activities.
