Investigation of the problem of designing the content of general professional disciplines in technical universities

Currently, a teacher is assigned new roles, that of a designer, an organizer, a mentor. He/she is presented with academic freedom in designing and selecting the content of academic disciplines.

The relevance of the research lies in the unresolved issue of how to design the content of education in higher education. The purpose of the research is to study the real state of the problem of pedagogical research related to the design of the content of general professional disciplines in technical universities. For this purpose monitoring of students studying general professional disciplines at a technical university has been organized and carried out.

The main tasks are to identify students' ideas about the relationship between the content of general professional disciplines and the future profession, to determine the means to motivate students to study, to determine the forms and methods of teaching demanded by students.

The research methods used are questionnaire, analysis synthesis, generalization. The Yaroslavl State Technical University was the experimental base. As a result, the data obtained will be used to identify conditions that will allow the formation of the content of general professional disciplines that correspond to the focus of training and allow students to effectively master the disciplines.

Key conclusions: for further research on the problem of designing the content of a general professional discipline, it is advisable to pay attention to the following: mastering the discipline will be effective and fruitful if students have an awareness of the importance of new knowledge in their future professional activities; students need to show a visible connection between the discipline being studied and the rest of the disciplines of the curriculum; to increase the interest of students and orient the content to the direction of training, it is required to involve an employer in the educational process.
