Abstract

This article examines an impact of project activities on the formation of universal and professional competencies of students. The authors note that project activity in education belongs to the category of innovation, as it involves the transformation of reality. At the same time, this activity is based on the appropriate technology that can be unified, mastered and improved. The work of students on the project “Building a correlation matrix with the help of signs (at least 3) having a professional orientation” shows that project activity is one of the effective teaching methods. As a result of the application of this type of activity, students acquire a large amount of knowledge, both professional and in a separate discipline. Solving the tasks of the project, students gain research experience, experience of independent work with various sources of information, which makes them more successful in further educational activities.
