Implementation Conditions for Project-Based Training as an Integrated Teaching Strategy in Higher Education

摘要

The article determines the necessary conditions for the implementation of project-based training in the process of modernization of higher education. Today, higher education, as well as science, is socially oriented; therefore, it must meet the needs of the socio-economic development of the state. In this regard, higher school intends to actualize the "third mission", where a university is not only a center of educational and research practices, but also assumes responsibility for the process of commercialization of the developed technologies. Therefore, a university combines the following functions: introduction of new teaching technologies and methods, modification of the content of educational programs in such a way as to introduce the latest achievements of science in the content of educational process; knowledge generation; commercialization of research projects. Project-based training, as an activity, contributes to fulfilment of the tasks that universities face in the framework of the "third mission", as well as to structural-functional and institutional transformations of the higher school system. However, in order to develop the knowledge economy, it is necessary to join the state, universities, business, financial support for the innovation activities of universities, and build a special infrastructure for developing and introducing new technologies. There are problems in implementation of project-based training due to low motivation of stakeholders, isolation of research practices of university and large companies, the lack of structural changes in the institutional framework of higher education system, and inconsistency of the existing financial arrangements with new types of educational activities.
