Gaspard Monge wrote: "The charm that accompanies science can overcome man's natural aversion to the mind intenseness and make them find pleasure in their mind’s exercise that for most of people seems as tiresome and boring occupation". He had written it including descriptive geometry. To exercise one’s mind — what is this but the brain building, and science is accompanied just by heuristic thinking, so that brings new discoveries for an intellectual. The most difficult in descriptive geometry is the ability to represent a spatial geometric figure or such figures’ combination on two images. It is clear that the usual problems of a course are resolved within the academic discipline, and are typical ones, readily understandable for any student of a technical high educational institution, while the tasks at Academic Olympics, even if these tasks are destined for use inside a high educational institution, are more difficult. If for a solving of problems from an ordinary problem book on descriptive geometry’s course it is enough to know literally a few algorithms, for tasks of increased difficulty that is not enough. The Academic Olympics’ functions reveal such a feature of those on descriptive geometry as their inseparable property to be a catalyst for development of heuristic thinking. Here there is not only the disclosure of students’ abilities to solve ordinary geometric problems, but the ability to solve problems of heuristic direction in general. It is obvious that knowledge of typical problems on the course of descriptive geometry is absolutely insufficiently, as well as it is insufficiently to know school geometry, that currently almost is not teaching in schools — now it is necessary to have not only the spatial perception, but at least the beginnings of heuristic thinking. This, plus the mobilization of all mental resources, contributes both to the solution of given geometric problems, and further solving other problems in the related areas of science and technology.

This article presents the integrated approach of the professional competencies of students of the correspondence form of evening-technical college training. The essence of the approach is the use of traditional forms of education, complemented by innovative forms: interactive content of descriptive geometry teacher in multimedia environments, the use of graphical editors in the learning process. These developments were due to the orientation of modern education on the priority development of creative qualities of professional engineer, the development of which, according to many experts, is possible in a graphical environment [3; 9]. On the other hand, there are the problems of mastering the course of descriptive geometry for the students in absentia-evening form of a technical college education related to insufficient spatial representations. The intensification of the educational process, especially training programs with restrictions on hours of classroom courses assimilation, brought to the fore the search for ways to solve this problem. The rapid development of the Information Society have significantly revised teaching methods, individualizing the educational trajectory. Implementation of the developed pedagogical impact of the measures has shown that the uptake rate of descriptive geometry substantially improved without increasing the teaching hours.

A review of problems related to geometry and graphics training at school and high educational institution has been presented within the meaning of discussions on meeting of «Descriptive Geometry, Graphics, CADD» section of Saint Petersburg House of Scientists. It has been shown that in connection with minimization in the school program of graphics and due to focused training on geometry, the competence level of freshmen does not meet high educational institutions’ requirements. It is firmly established that descriptive geometry is the only subject to facilitate these gaps liquidation during the first year of educating. Different variants of educating programs are considered and analyzed.

The problem of teaching and formulating the tasks for the “Applied Geometry” discipline is considered in this paper. Currently, in aviation high educational institutions there is a tendency to reduce the number of hours allocated to graphic disciplines; in addition, “Descriptive Geometry” – the habitual name of the discipline – has been replaced by name “Applied Geometry”. This is certainly connected with the transition to learning on undergraduate programs, that implies a competency-based approach, i.e., training in accordance with the necessary knowledge and methods of activity in a particular area [4; 9; 23; 29; 30; 34]. The planned results of learning in “Applied Geometry” include knowledge of methods for solving applied engineering-geometric problems, as well as the ability to use the basic elements of applied geometry and engineering graphics in professional activities, and to solve specific applied problems of geometric modeling [4; 14; 20; 22; 32]. For these reasons arises the question of the need to adapt “Descriptive Geometry” to the requirements and programs for the training of bachelors, bringing it to conformity with the name “Applied Geometry” of the discipline. According to the results of “Applied Geometry” studying, students ought to gain experience and have the ability to independently solve cognitive, organizational and other problems related to their future professional activities [28–30]. In this paper is proposed a general approach to the formulation of “Applied Geometry” problems for cadets pursuing a bachelor's degree in “Air Navigation” (25.03.03) and “Operation of Airports and Flight Support of Aircraft” (25.03.04). Using rather simple examples, has been considered the possibility to formulate the problem in such a way that instead of the traditional formulation it could be applied for a specific bachelor's degree. As well has been considered a complex applied problem, which is suitable as a task for performing a computational and graphic work, since it integrates several topics of the discipline.

The article focuses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the use of interactive learning and its advantages over traditional learning. The use of interactive learning in both secondary and higher education is analyzed. The research goal is to theoretically substantiate and highlight the introduction of methods of the model of training future Ukrainian language and literature teachers by means of interactive learning technologies, as well as to determine the factors of their choice. The main research methods used were analysis, generalization and modeling, observation, synthesis, systematization. The results of the conducted research allowed the author to reveal the qualities that a future teacher of Ukrainian language and literature should possess; to describe some pedagogical problems of training the future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature by means of interactive learning technologies.The benefit of this study is the defined content of interactive learning, which is believed to be a specially organized comfortable mutual learning of participants of the educational process as equal its subjects, which provides for their continuous active interaction, during which each of the students realizes and reflects all its knowledge and actions, feels successful and intellectually capable. The author identified such interactive learning methods of the model of training future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature in higher education institutions as: trainings, educational discussions; game technologies; interactive lectures: problem lectures, lecture-visualization, binary lecture, lecture-press conference, round table, cases, brainstorming. Moreover, the most used interactive learning methods of training future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature in universities are given and theoretically grounded; they are training, discussion, role playimg, method of «Spoiled phone», method of «remote project work Minecraft», «Сourt hearing», «Augmented reality», use of presentations. The author highlights their introduction into the work of the National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, states the positive aspects of interactive learning compared to classical one, determines seven factors for the choice of methods. As a result the author makes a conclusion that the use of interactive technologies not only contributes to the creation of an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual understanding in the educational institution, but also implements the basic principles of personality-oriented learning.
