Professionally-Oriented Interdisciplinary Tasks As A Way Of Increasing Motivation In Higher Education

Abstract

The article analyzes the increase of motivation in higher education. The problem of intersubjective communications is recognized as relevant for the entire system of modern education, but in theoretical, and especially in practical aspects, intersubjective communications in higher professional education are much less studied than in systems of educational and secondary vocational schools. The effectiveness of professionally-oriented interdisciplinary tasks in the system of technological training of clothing industry’s specialists has been proved. It has been established experimentally that the developed task-modular training program contributes to the development of positive dynamics of motivation and formation of professional and educational-cognitive motives of students. The basis in the development of tasks was the multi-level structure of professional activity of a specialist. The logical and substantive basis of the tasks is determined by the theory of interdisciplinary communications and the modern production and technological activity of an engineer in the clothing industry. The implementation of the system of tasks in the educational process is based on general pedagogical and specific principles of didactics. The dependence of the technological training of specialists in the clothing industry on the implementation of professionally-oriented interdisciplinary tasks is disclosed. The developed task-modular training program is included in the technological training system for specialists in the clothing industry; it is implemented as part of practical and laboratory work in accordance with work programs for special disciplines of the curriculum of the main educational program.
