TECHNOLOGY OF MIXED TRAINING OF FUTURE MECHANICAL ENGINEERS IN THE CONDITIONS OF UNPC «ALL-UKRAINIAN SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL CONSORTIUM»

Abstract

The article discusses the need to transform the traditional professional training of a future mechanical engineer, which is associated with a number of contradictions due to new requirements for a graduate of an agricultural university. The issues of improving the quality of the fundamental and practical component are actualized, which the professional activity of a specialist in modern high-tech production needs - the development, operation, maintenance and management of new equipment, technologies and technical systems. It is proved that a powerful means of eliminating these contradictions is the development of a strategy of agricultural educational institutions for the integration of science, education and production, focused on the current state of the agro-industrial complex. The scientific and educational industrial complex is considered as a concept of the mechanism for the transition of agro-industrial production to an innovative development model. Substantiated is the author's student-centered technology of blended learning of future mechanical engineers in the conditions of the Educational-scientific industrial complex USEC «Ukrainian scientific-educational consortium». It has been proven that in the process of training mechanical engineers in the conditions of scientific and educational industrial complexes, the technology of blended learning with elements of dual education, based on the integration of traditional classroom and distance forms, using the best capabilities of each, will be effective. The analysis of the existing practice of using distance and blended learning technologies in the process of training specialists is carried out, the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the design of student-centered education based on the blended learning technology are theoretically substantiated, a model for the design of blended learning technology is developed, the principles of selection of subject-specific information in the mathematical training of specialists are determined, student-centered technology of blended learning of future mechanical engineers (on the example of the course "Higher Mathematics"), prepared information resources and teaching materials are described.
