Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 11
Abstract
The paper deals with the issue of psychological readiness of engineering students for the development of common competencies while studying the course “Professional Psychology”. As an alternative to the existing education system, which provides classical social and humanities courses in the engineers’ curriculum, it is proposed to create integrative courses that place social studies and humanities in a profession-related context. The aim of the article is to evaluate the psychological readiness of future engineers for the development of common competencies through the “Professional Psy-chology” training. 30 students participated in the study (18 boys, 12 girls). Research methods are as follows: survey, sta-tistical methods of data processing (Wilcoxon test for paired samples, factor analysis). According to the results of the study, having studied the course the students show a statistically significant increase in the self-assessment of such compe-tencies as the ability to learn and master knowledge, generate new ideas, plan and manage time, make decisions. They also demonstrated positive attitude to the course, understanding its importance for the development of common competen-cies and readiness for further self-development.
