The Use of Project Technologies in the Training of Students

Abstract

The new millennium is characterized by an unprecedented breakthrough in knowledge and information and communication technologies. The challenges of the XXI century require modernized paradigms of interaction in all spheres of life, including the educational one. To date, one of the most promising teaching methods is project technology. It forms the conditions for creative self-realization of students, increases their motivation to learn, and promotes the development of intellectual abilities that contribute to the acquisition of students’ own experience in solving problems of future independent life, which they project in their studies. The professional training of the student is enhanced through the use of project technologies, so students have to develop technical skills to be productive members of society. The research aims – to establish a pattern of promoting the implementation of project technologies in educational institutions by surveying the Internet. Another aim is to establish the ability of educational institutions to provide quality competent training to HEI students. Research methods: comparative analysis; systematization; generalization, and survey. Results. It has been established that as a result of the survey of students, project technologies have a positive impact on the provision of competent training of students (95.5%). A smaller number of students (3.3%) were not confident in the quality of competent training of students by modern project technologies. Whereas the rest of the students have noted that modern project technologies for competent training of students contain certain shortcomings (1.2%). As a result of the study, it was found that students positively evaluate (with scores above 5.0) project technologies as practical, understandable, motivating, etc. As a result of the study, it has been found that the implementation of project technologies for the professional training of university students is a complex process due to the large number of variables that should be taken into account both in the course and at the individual level. Moreover, it has been established that the implementation of the proposed model of integrating project technologies into the process of forming competitive advantages for university students benefits both students and educators by establishing reliable communication between them and stimulating the provision of qualified training.
