PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE FORMATION OF PROJECT THINKING IN FUTURE BACHELORS

According to the content of the provisions of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education (3 ++), a future Bachelor must possess many types of universal competencies. At the same time, the readiness for project activities stands out quite strongly among others in the scale of the necessary abilities. Since the project is inherently a holistic and complete product, it is assumed that all other types of competencies should be thoroughly developed. In this light, works devoted to the development of fundamental rules for the formation of project thinking become relevant. At the same time, it turns out that such a development of the principles of the formation of the desired skill, which would take into account the strengths of the Russian conjuncture of thinking, is in demand. The authors seek to emphasize the connection between the principles of design thinking with such an organic pedagogical condition as collective activity. Since we are talking about the category of higher education, it is quite appropriate to add that it is precisely collective research activity that is meant. In this light, the purpose of the study is to develop pedagogical principles for the eff ective formation of project thinking in future bachelors. The research methodology is determined by the works of Yu. S. Manuilov. In particular, we are talking about the environmental approach, in which the social environment should play an active role, with which the future bachelor should enter into active creative relations with a research bias. The leading research method is the questioning of students. The tool for the formation of the studied quality will be a complex of active teaching methods, among which it is proposed to take into account the game methods of teaching adults (business games). The authors also believe that an underestimated method in the higher education environment is the game of chess, which was also included in the toolkit for the formation of project thinking. The following pedagogical principles were developed: 1) synergy - the unity of personal and collective creative activity, 2) conformity to nature - the organic nature of the forming conditions, 3) economy - the desire of the system for the formation of project thinking to save didactic and methodological resources, 4) fascination ‒ the orientation of the active forms used learning to remove psychological barriers to mastering theory, often presented in overly cloying academic language.
