Метод проектів у розвитку навичок самоосвіти студентів технічних ЗВО

Abstract

The article describes the essence of project methods for the development of self-education skills in students of technical institutions of higher education. Approaches of foreign and domestic scientists to improve the methods of teaching humanities in technical educational institutions are analyzed. The question of introduction of innovative technologies in the educational process is highlighted, the concepts of «pedagogical innovations», «innovations of teaching methods» are revealed. One of the innovative teaching methods is the project method. The feasibility of applying the project method to the study of fundamental and humanities (for example, foreign languages) in technical higher education institutions is considered. A detailed description of the project method classification is provided. The method of projects in this article is considered by the author as a powerful interactive method for expressing interest in mastering the disciplines of the humanities, fundamental and special cycle, developing self-educational skills and acquiring a basic level of professional competence in a technical institution of higher education. The preparation of the project, its basis is the development of classes with the student`s chosen topic independently, based on the directions offered by the teacher ( special, fundamental or humanitarian disciplines). The project must contain integrative tasks that are performed during the hours of independent extracurricular work, and its protection should occur during the classroom hours of the discipline, which is studied by this method. The author`s development of the proposed method is presented and a detailed description is given, which focuses on the integrative nature of such activities. In order to identify the students` ability and desire to conduct such integrative classes, a colloquium on higher mathematics is described and the results of a questionnaire are presented to identify problems in the use of a foreign language with special terminology.
