Rakhmanov V. Theoretical and Methodological Principles of Training of Future Engineers in the Conditions of Educational and Information Environment of a Technical University

The dissertation is devoted to theoretical and methodological principles of training of future engineers in the conditions of educational and information environment of a technical university. Methodical principles of forming educational and information environment at a higher technical education institution which create the necessary conditions for improving the efficiency of the educational process, deepening professional knowledge by future engineers and professional level are substantiated. The mathematical methods of optimization of information flow in the educational and information environment are investigated, which enables to show the possibilities of the future engineer, as well as the level of professional development of the individual at each stage of training. The pedagogical modelling of the system of future engineers’ training in the conditions of educational and information environment of a technical university is developed and applied. Modelling enables to get the most complete idea of its place in the system of higher education institutions and to solve the most difficult task in education - understanding and using of information for acquiring personal competences. Educational paradigms are proposed, namely: personal-educational, scientific-technocratic, competence-oriented, which determine, conceptualize and materialize scientific ideas concerning the education system as a whole. The process of designing the content for educational disciplines for future engineers’ training in the conditions of educational and information environment is investigated. It is connected with the creative activity of a teacher in designing, developing and applying an effective and efficient pedagogical system. To optimize the learning strategy, theoretical and functional models of future engineers’ training under the conditions of educational and information environment of a technical university are created. The model of training of future engineers functions more effectively in creating special pedagogical conditions, taking into account the specificity of future engineers’ training and technical university’ requirements for training specialists.
