Abstract

Problem and purpose. The modern economy needs engineers with a new consciousness and psychological attitudes, possessing the necessary competencies, capable of giving a positive impetus to the development of further competitiveness of enterprises located in the territories of advanced social and economic development and Russia as a whole. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the effectiveness of implementing a collaborative approach in the formation of team competence in the system of higher and supplementary professional education. Methods. The study involved 135 graduates of various technical fields of study, 243 third-year and fourth-year students of the National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, and 203 participants in supplementary professional education programs. The development of team competence among students and participants was monitored through observation, teamwork on projects, questionnaires, and interviews. To analyze the data, the Pearson χ2 statistical test was used. Results. It was found that the employers highly valued team competence as a necessary component of a specialist's qualification characteristics. The results of the study confirmed that the level of the formation of team competence among 135 graduates was mainly at a low level (41%) and an average level (45%). The analysis of various studies allowed concluding that the collaborative approach has great potential in the development of this competence. Discussion and conclusion. The stages of implementing the collaborative approach proposed by the authors made it possible to increase the efficiency of educational activities, both in the higher education system (χ2 = 7.72; p < 0.01) and in the system of supplementary professional education (χ2 = 7.46; p < 0.01), which is confirmed by the pedagogical experiment. The effectiveness was determined through numerical meters, allowing accurate diagnosis of the success of the participants in the experiment. © 2021 LLC Ecological Help. All rights reserved.
