Abstract:

Under modern conditions of the development of higher education, a search of new ways of improving an educational process should be carried out. It is necessary to enhance the educational process of higher education institutions, its orientation to students’ future career in terms of modern society development, and the transition from learning to practice creativity. The possibilities of comprehensive approach to teaching students oriented to scientific thinking, ability to think outside the box and make innovative decisions, and the usage of knowledge in various fields of industry have been analysed in this paper. Much attention is paid to the integrated teaching methods and researches. The students’ research work, as one of the forms of educational process, successfully combines the theoretical and practical learning. At first, students acquire basic skills of conducting research work and then put the acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. Carrying out the research work allows students to get practical skills from conducting experiments and computer processing, thereby forming the professionalism of practical training. The complex organization of educational process promotes revitalization and intensification of educational work, allows individualizing the work with students and provides individually planned strategy of education.
