Transdisciplinary approach to improving study motivation among university students of engineering specialties

Abstract

In pedagogy, motivation is considered more important than ability. This study aims to identify, and provide a rationale for, ways to increase of study motivation among the university students of engineering specialties. The creation of conditions for the subject to predict results of his activity, as well as for the manifestation of self-dependence and creativity, contributes to ensuring students' motivation and to the development of their search activity, that is "critical inquiry" of useful information. To implement these conditions, we suggest extending transdisciplinarity in education and integrating it with all forms of the educational process, and establishing more effective contacts (both formal and informal) between teachers and students. Such integration is based on integrity, dialectic method, mental activity and integration of the laws of nature. We see the role of this extension of transdisciplinarity as combining heterogeneous knowledge by content (education) and methods (development) in conjunction with improving the quality of organizational and pedagogical support of training sessions (upbringing).

Network Form Development To Implement Life-Long Education

“…3) Ensuring the joint activities of all participants in the educational process, separated by space and time. Thanks to dual training, in which, along with university teachers, subjects and objects of educational activity are employees of enterprises, it becomes possible to quickly adjust educational programs in accordance with rapidly changing conditions and learning objectives (Andreev et al, 2020). It should be emphasized that a complex of interconnected and mutually reinforcing methods, the functional properties of which as a whole make it possible to form a learning environment that is not limited to a specific university or enterprise is being spoken about.…”

“…The emergence of such a variety of forms of representation and transfer of knowledge was associated with the most significant information revolutions in history, namely, the evolution of a language, writing, books printing, and in recent years -digital technology and the Internet. The qualitative changes that have taken place in the conditions of the society existence have led to a change in the typologies of people's consciousness and approaches to organizing the educational process both in terms of technologies developed specifically for teaching (Koretsky & Magana, 2019), and in terms of its methodology (Andreev et al, 2020). Distance learning has become increasingly common (Sharshov & Belova, 2018), and online learning is widely used as well (Volungeviciene et al, 2020).…”

The Impact of Cooperative Learning on University Students’ Academic Goals

“…Orientation toward one type of goal or another may change over time if university teachers encourage these goals using different methodologies and taking action to motivate students ( Andreev et al, 2020 ). Teaching staff can help students identify and set learning goals, as well as encourage them to adopt a different approach to their goals through the teaching methodology used ( Gaeta, 2014 ; Chiecher, 2017 ).…”

Self-development of Teacher Students through Problem-Based Learning

“…Educational institutes where produce teachers have to be active and prepare for educational change. Therefore, producing teachers realizes and focuses on active educational management for competency improvement of the students in many aspects: knowledge and virtue, intellectual skills, teamwork skills, and communicative and technological skills through lifelong learning for upgrading educational standards equivalent to other higher education institutes where offer education program and produce teachers (Andreev et al, 2020;Nuangchalerm, 2020).…”
