Abstract

The authors focus on the universal competencies of IT bachelors, which are professionally important in the development of team IT projects. The authors have revealed that the universal competencies, which IT companies interested in, are not sufficiently formed by future IT bachelors in higher education institutions, which creates problems in their further professional activities.To find the causes, the analysis of indicators of personal results and meta-subject results of secondary education and universal competencies of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education 3++ was carried out. Deficiencies were identified, leading to a skew in the continuity of personal results and meta-subject results of secondary education and the development of universal competencies in higher education. The professional standards for the conjugation of work requirements with universal competencies of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education 3++ have been investigated.As a result, universal competencies, which are professionally significant for effective professional activities of IT bachelors in terms of implementation of team IT projects in remote working conditions, establishment of productive communication with IT team and with the customer of the software product, as well as continuous self-development of IT specialist, were identified. The component structure of professionally significant universal competencies consisting of individual-personal, organizational, and social personal components was developed. A methodology for the development of professional significant universal competencies of future IT bachelors on the basis of team media-educational projects is proposed.This methodology takes into account the individual distribution of roles in the project team and its implemented in the first year of IT training. The results of the study may be of interest for teachers who model professional tasks, as well as serve to improve the quality of training of competitive IT specialists.
