PREPARATION OF UNDERGRADUATES FOR THE FORMATION OF STUDENT TEAMS FOR PROJECT ACTIVITIES

Abstract

Introduction. The problem of creating pedagogical conditions for the formation of a team building system is one of the relevant areas in modern education. This issue is especially relevant in modern socio-economic conditions that require teamwork to create new technologies. Materials and methods. As the main methods, we used the analysis of sources on the studied problem, including normative documents, scientific articles on the research topic, as well as generalization and systematization of the data obtained. An expert assessment of the ability of graduate students to organize and manage teams was carried out. Results . Graduate students in the learning process when performing practice-oriented tasks performed various team roles. In the process of practical training in an educational organization, students created teams of students for project activities. As a result of mathematical and statistical processing of the obtained results of the expert assessment according to the criteria of team building using the Chi-square at p <0.01 and p <0.05, the following differences were revealed. Statistically significant differences were identified by the criteria of the ability to distribute social roles, powers between team members and the ability to ensure team cohesion. Only satisfaction from group membership and participation in the achievement of a common goal was not defined as significantly different. The latter result means that a more significant sample of students is needed in a further study, or an adjustment of the process of teaching graduate students to the principles of team building in matters of joint research is required. Discussion and Conclusions . The reliability of the effectiveness of the implementation of vocational training in the system of practice-oriented tasks for teaching students the principles of team building has been established. As a result, students of pedagogical magistracy formed the skills of team building and mastery of the technology of forming teams of students for project activities.
