GEOMETRO-GRAPHIC LANGUAGE, AS A MEANS OF CREATING COMMUNICATIVE TECHNICAL CULTURE OF STUDENTS-BACHELORS ^{[№ 4 ' 2017]}
The urgent request of the industry for the qualified engineering personnel has led to the need for a critical analysis of current system of their training. The ongoing education reform, including the university education, resulted in losing prestige the educational ranking of was lost. The transition to a multi-stage higher education has led to the need of restructuring the whole system of the higher school, its adaptation to the new conditions. This is not a simple process, and as applied to engineering disciplines it is exacerbated by the flawed restructuring of the secondary school. The authors attempt to critically evaluate the current situation and identify possible ways of adjusting training methods for undergraduate students of technical specialities. It is revealed that the most important for engineering training are the disciplines of geometric-graphic cycle. The article presents that the training of creative specialists is impossible without the development of their geometric and graphic communicative culture with the help of the geometric-graphic language and its terminology. The process of forming a geometric-graphic knowledge, abilities and skills, as the components of communicative technical culture of professionals who have special technical and semantic relations is based on the development of students's geometric-graphic thesaurus. Students develop it in the phased multi-faceted study of the geometric-graphic discipline. The formation of the communicative technical culture of engineering students-bachelors is only possible through the activation techniques for mastering practical skills of geometric-graphical language. The design of didactic materials focused on the development of students' self-organized and creative academic activities and educators' ability to stimulate students' motivated and active participation in the study process will contribute to this goal. It is also important to organize a pre-University geometric-graphic training. It will aim at filling gaps in geometric and graphic knowledge that students get or miss to get in high schools.
