DESIGN OF TECHNOLOGY FOR IMPROVEMENT OF UNDERGRADUATES TRAINING IN INNOVATIONAL ACTIVITY

At present, the national system of higher education can be characterized by intensification of competency benchmarks that define development policy for education. That is why it is necessary to move from the cognitive approach to the competence one, which in its turn implies the development of students’ readiness and capability to apply their professional competence to work. Consequently, there is a need in formation of subjective features of the undergraduate students in the course of development of professional competence. Individual abilities and personal qualities of a student are formed within educational activity in the development of human ability to show initiative and responsibility, as well as the ability to gain personal professional growth and self-realization. The activity approach to organization of academic work becomes the general conceptual framework to improve the educational activities of undergraduate students [1].

In the educational process, both parties should play a creative role. It is important to avoid the so-called stereotyped training when undergraduates are "coached" for solving a certain type of problems, and the development of economic thinking suffers because of these problems. Undergraduate student should learn to understand not only modeled but also the real economic processes [2]. Significant role in training of undergraduate students of economic schools is given to their independent work, especially the development of skills in independent research in doing research and writing course papers. And use of training and support literature can have a greater effect if certain conditions are met to actively implement the Internet into the learning process. In this case, the boundaries of student-teacher communication expand in space and time [3].

Formation of students’ readiness to innovation should be based on a systematic, reflective-active and individual-creative approaches which ensure construction and operation of the entire process of identity formation of the future engineer. The principle of professional orientation of teaching economic disciplines to the future economists is applied in the context of training a master competitive in the labor market [4].
