Setting tasks for performing creative assignments by students of first-second years of a technical university

In this article we decided to focus on one of the significant stages of the experiment being conducted: on setting assignments for students' creative work asking them to describe in details the problems encountered and suggest ways of solving. We are conducting an experiment with biomimetic approach in teaching students of technical universities to graphic disciplines. At the same time creative work includes not only the material of the main discipline, in frames of which we set the task, but also affects related disciplines. Let us see how the attitude of students to the set creative tasks changed depending on the accents we placed. How the students' understanding of the purpose of the work was changing. Formulation of the task that we set for the students, change greatly the motivational factor of fulfilling work and the understanding of the problem. If the task is oriented correctly, the student not only just draws a model, but deliberately sets a goal, for which he does it, develops criteria for choosing a specific object for research, suggests ways of solving problem. Based on the data obtained, we justify and demonstrate why this format of work allows the student to gradually get used to doing work at the point of intersection of several disciplines. The article provides an overview analysis of the theoretical literature, which we use as a scientific basis, and also presents statistical calculations of the results of student surveys and analysis of their creative works, depending on the change of the tasks and goals.
