Using the project method in the university program pursues the following tasks:
• Activation of cognitive activity;
• Pedagogical support of student intellectual development;
• Formation of self-planning skills of their activities;
• Formation of teamwork skills;
• Instilling skills to work with large amounts of information, highlighting the main thing;
• Expanding the outlook of the student in the selection of materials.
Basic requirements for the project:
1. You must have a problem;
2. Discussion of solutions to student problems should be conducted in real conditions or extremely close to real ones;
3. The project should always be interdisciplinary, to involve the integrated knowledge of students;
4. Implementation of the project begins with determining the type of product and presentation form;
5. Each project requires student research;
6. Requires a result of the work. This is a tool that is developed by the participants. Project team to resolve the problem;
7. At the final stage, a presentation of the work is required.
Table 1 Teacher’s and student’s systems of action at different stages of project work
In the conditions of the changed paradigm of education, great importance is attached to approbation and introduction of innovative educational technologies into the educational process; Moreover, the implementation of those that were considered more effective in the teaching of technical disciplines is possible in modern conditions and in teaching the subjects of the engineering cycle [5].
Thus, the modern technology of education is characterized by the following positions:
• The technology is developed for a specific pedagogical concept, based on a certain methodological and philosophical position of the author (distinguish between technologies of the process of knowledge transfer of skills and skills; technologies of developing pedagogy, etc.);
• The technological chain of actions, operations, and communications is built strictly in accordance with the objectives, having the form of a specific expected result;
Training project: Programming.
«Software development tools».
1. Objectives of the project
Actualize and deepen the student’s knowledge of programming in various programming languages, as well as their advantages and disadvantages in terms of design. With the help of an advance task, to intensify the student’s cognitive activity in working with educational and scientific texts. Formation of communication skills in undergraduates (publicly speaking on the topic, conducting a dialogue, participating in discussions, actively listening).
2. Tasks
– Identify solutions to this problem;
– Realization of interdisciplinary connections;
– Formation of an active position of students on the protection of project work;
– Development of collaboration skills.
4. Equipment
– Computers;
– Interactive whiteboards.
1—2 weeks before the start of the lesson, each member of the group (if there are few students in the group, and if there are many, divided into groups of several people) are given tasks – to study the theoretical foundations of the features of different programming languages and prepare research results.
Analysis
When performing laboratory work, an individual independent performance by each student of all the elements of the task is achieved, this cannot be achieved during the performance of laboratory work at the experimental stand. Below is a diagram to determine the level of knowledge of students in experimental and control groups:
The results of an experimental study of students obtained at one stand in a team are not always processed by each student personally. Individual students were creative in developing calculations for their options, presenting results, showed the ability to analyze and draw the right conclusions and make rational suggestions.
