PROSPECTS FOR PROJECT-BASED LEARNING AT A UNIVERSITY IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Abstract

The article raises an issue of rational application of project-based learning ideas in the educational process of a university. An analysis of the literature makes it possible to establish that modern project-based learning is based on the development of the ideas of problem-based learning and implies obtaining a specific scientific or practical result. The specificity of this training is to increase students’ own activity, which allows them to form the required competencies of a university graduate in the process of working on the stated problem. The work systematizes and summarizes data on the application in teaching of some of the most common methods of project activity in teaching. The boundaries of their application in the educational process of the university are outlined, with emphasis placed on the active use of information and communication technologies. In conclusion, information on the problem of further improving the ideas of modern project-based learning in the digital era is summarized.
