Programming of pedagogical technology for formation of professional competence when studying natural and general technical disciplines

. Introduction of new state educational standards into the educational process, orientation towards a competent learning paradigm, and increase in the amount of independent work of the students necessitated the improvement of the existing approaches to modelling the integration processes in the system of higher agro-technical education. Unfortunately, under modern conditions, the educational potential of physics and general technical disciplines in the integrative version of their content and methodological aspects is not realised at the required level. The purpose of this work is to study the problem of the formation of professional competence of the future engineers in the process of integrating natural (physics) and general technical disciplines. Efficiency of the models for the formation of professional competence of the future engineers by integrating physics and general technical disciplines, which are based on personal activity, competence-based, problem-integrative, contextual and system approaches, is substantiated and experimentally tested. There are determined the psychological and pedagogical conditions for implementation of these models in the process of studying physics, technical mechanics, hydromechanics, technical thermodynamics and electrical engineering. The positive dynamics of the results of the formation of professional competencies of models and their impact upon the components of professional competence are recorded. This was carried out by applying a frame approach to the assimilation of scientific knowledge, using integrative learning technologies, as well as increasing their cognitive activity, motivating students to study physics and general technical disciplines, and developing educational reflection.
