Mikhnenko G. The Formation of Intellectual Mobility of Future Engineers in a Technical University Educational Environment

The research is devoted to the scientific substantiation of pedagogical conditions and experimental verification of the structural and functional model of the formation of intellectual mobility of future engineers in a technical university educational environment. As a result of the research, the concepts of “intellectual mobility of a future engineer” and “technical university educational environment” have been specified. The pedagogical conditions of the formation of intellectual mobility of future engineers in a technical university educational environment are determined. They comprise: the change in the function of a teacher when he/she becomes the moderator of the intellectual activities of students, but not only a knowledge transmitter; purposeful development of students’ motivation to the intellectual activities due to teacher’s consideration of their individual psychological features; integration of the content of the vocational training and foreign language teaching, vocational orientation of foreign language learning with the use of distance courses, intellectual games and brainstorming tasks.
