Information-presentation educational path for students'self-study of engineering graphics

Abstract

The article discusses the information-presentation educational path for students' self-directed engineering-graphical training, which is implemented at M.T. Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University (ISTU) Izhevsk, Russia, and applicably at the Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Technology in Trnava, Slovakia. The method of expert team evaluation, one of the major ones in qualimetry, was used at all stages of self-directed learning management. The method reveals the components of engineering-graphical competence, establishes the criteria and markers for determining the level of its development, and performs expert evaluation of student tasks and estimation procedures. The paper also describes the criteria and assessment procedures for determining the level of students' engineering-graphical competence: phenomenological, analytic-synthetic, creativity and activity-based levels. It has been found that the revitalization of students' self-directed learning increases their level of engineering-graphical competence development due to professional education and individualization.
