Development of integrative-transparent educational environment training engineers of agricultural production

Abstract

The present article deals with the research in formation of educational environment on the basis of the principle of integration for formation and development of different levels and kinds of professional competences training the future engineers of agricultural production. The aim of the research is organising the educational environment in education of engineers that helps in formation and development of different levels and kinds of professional competences, acquisition of the teaching material more effectively, acquisition of fundamental knowledge and skills to apply this knowledge. In the research the methods of investigation in the educational environment were used, as well as the methods of analysis studying the pedagogical experience of teachers at agrarian universities, pedagogical experiment, and statistical methods in calculation of the results of pedagogical experiments. The research concept is based on the fact that the professional training of future engineers in higher educational institutions is aimed not only at the acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities, which are determined by the educational and qualification characteristics, but also at the acquisition of skills and abilities to organize independent work on the study of software material. Achieving this goal is possible under the conditions of the introduction of personally-oriented learning technologies, ensuring thorough motivation of students, providing material and methodological support and developing rational mechanisms for end-to-end programming of individual independent work according to the principle of the “tree of goals”, i.e. end-to-end execution of small independent works: essays, calculation works , graphic, calculation-graphic, creative, descriptive in the calculation of their thematic entry into more capacious independent works - term papers and projects, which, in turn, are included in qualifying diploma theses or projects. The methodology of integrative-transparent organisation of the educational activities of the students at agrarian universities is universal and can be used also for other specialties. The results of the pedagogical experiment showed increase in student success what proves the efficiency of application of the research results. The results of the research showed also the influence of the organised professional orientation activities of students in learning fundamental subjects on the motivation for learning and professional interests. Motivation to acquire the fundamental subjects and interest in profession also had a trend to improve. Improvement of student achievements in studies, motivation level and professional interests prove the efficiency of the results of the performed research in formation of the organisation principles of student activities.
