RESULTS OF THE PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT ON FORMING SELF- EDUCATIONAL COMPETENCE IN FUTURE BACHELORS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SPECIALITIES DURING THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The article analyses the results of a pedagogical experiment on the formation of self-educational competence of future bachelors of mechanical engineering specialities in the process of their professional training. The importance of self-educational competence is emphasised in view of the significant pace of innovative development of the engineering industry and the significant load on students' independent work in accordance with modern curricula in higher technical education institutions. The article presents a structural and functional model of the formation of self- educational competence of future bachelors of mechanical engineering and provides methods for diagnosing indicators of self-educational competence. The method of statistical processing of the obtained data based on Fisher's φ-criterion is used. The effectiveness of the developed structural and functional model of implementation of pedagogical conditions for the formation of self-educational competence of future bachelors of mechanical engineering specialties has been confirmed.
