In connection with transition of the higher education system to the bachelor's degree, a number of difficulties has arisen e in the student’s educational schedule. The question is especially acute for disciplines of general education, and a rather large reduction in classroom time has happened. Taking into account the rather low level of students training in the area of drawing, and sometimes its complete absence, due to the abolition of the subject of drawing from the mandatory school program, teachers are faced with more and more tasks on the formation of educational and methodical complexes [3; 6; 15–17; 23]. In this paper has been considered the issue related to complex training in the area of graphic disciplines for students of technical high educational institutions. These disciplines, as is known, are the basis of many special engineering disciplines, such as machine parts, theory of mechanisms and machines and so on. The fundamental component is the design documentation, the possession of which is necessary for a future engineer. Studying the general course of descriptive geometry and engineering graphics is not enough, training should be carried out taking into account the professional orientation and relevant competencies. However, despite the global automation in all areas, it is not necessary to completely abandon the traditional methods of training, for example, in descriptive geometry’s section. This course allows develop students' spatial reasoning [12–14; 19]. Work on descriptive geometry’s tasks gives for a student the opportunity to more clearly understand the projection principles, methods of drawings transformation, formation of complex surfaces, obtaining of visual images by constructing of axonometric projections or performing of a technical drawing. Another question in our opinion is the order for studying the section of engineering graphics, which is more appropriate to study using modern graphics programs [10; 11].

Training Procedure in Graphic Disciplines for Students of Technical High Educational Institutions

Topical issues related to improving the quality of higher education and solving teaching-learning problems, aimed at providing a checking procedure of future specialists’ graphic literacy in the process of teaching graphic design are considered in this paper. Among the national tasks of providing specialists for various arears of professional activity, the improvement of higher education’s quality and practical training of competent staff capable for professional self-education is considered as one of priorities. Education is interpreted as a process and result of acquiring the system of knowledge and personality development. Sufficiently frequent updating of requirements to future specialists’ training because of practical implementation of information technology in all professional spheres makes actual the search for more efficient methodologies aimed at changing of professional competences. The development of graphic literacy as future specialists' professional competence is defined by the learning activity process signification. The specificity of graphic disciplines as result of the introduction of information technologies requires the development of an effective methodology to ensure the content of the educational process, changing the nature of expertise, knowledge and skills; forming competence as a special ability necessary to perform a particular action in the object-graphic area. In the modern process for learning of graphic courses the KOMPAS graphic program is widely used, along with Autocad, Archicad, Revit, and others. Further is interpreted the KOMPAS practical use in the process of preparation of future specialists for learning of graphic courses. The KOMPAS jumps out as the program allowing using information technologies in checking procedure of future specialists' graphic literacy. The features of generation in the KOMPAS graphic program are revealed, as well as the software application “Generator”, including an educational-methodical complex aimed at forming of the necessary competence, development of self-learning activities, checking of expertise, knowledge and skills on graphic courses.

Application of Information Technologies in Checking Procedure of Future Specialists’ Graphic Literacy

Experience In Development of E-Learning Tools For Teaching of Geometry And Graphic Disciplines

In the 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years, in Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov a two-year experiment for architecture students on determination variances in different approaches to teaching methods for geometric education was conducted. The experiment was caused by the fact that many teachers believe that if there are computers in the Institute, it is necessary to use graphic programs as soon as possible – immediately introduce students to work on the computer even without allocating hours for this. No one wants to prevent implementation of computers, but we must not forget some nuances related to high technology. As in any case connected with complex hardware unknown for future users, here at the University, at the beginning it is also necessary to teach students how to work with the graphics program itself, and only then allow them perform geometric problems. You can give such an example: put an untrained person at the control panel of interceptor missiles and force him to shoot down a border trespasser in combat conditions. They will notify us that we are engaged in voluntarism. However to put an untrained student at a computer and forcing him to solve a purely geometric problem immediately is not voluntarism. Is it? \nThe experiment had showed that a student, even if he knows how to solve a particular problem, is not ready at all to perform it immediately on a computer in a graphic software. He begin to lose a lot of time getting familiar with the program and only after obtaining at least a minimum of knowledge about working with this program becomes ready to start the task.
