The role and quality of teaching humanitarian disciplines in technical and medical specialties of MSTU

The article is devoted to the problem of teaching humanities in technical and medical specialties of a university, their importance in shaping the outlook and cultural and moral development of a student’s personality. In the 21st century training of a sought-after specialist assumes the presence of not only specialized knowledge and skills, but also diverse humanitarian training. In this article generalized results of the conducted research related to the definition of the role and effectiveness of humanitarian disciplines at MSTU are presented. As a result, it has been revealed that humanitarian education contributes to the development of independent thinking and forms a worldview, helps to understand the surrounding reality, in oneself and other people, enrich students' moral, aesthetic and professional ethical culture. The research has revealed the problems that students of technical and medical specialties face in mastering humanitarian knowledge: teaching of the humanities does not take into account the specifics of technical and medical specialties, technical, visual and digital teaching aids are insufficiently, which reduces the quality of humanitarian training. Students are not interested in studying the humanities, because consider them unclaimed in their future profession. This indicates that they are unaware of the goals (mission) of a humanitarian component of vocational education. The authors also designate solution vectors for the identified problems.
