Слайд 1Media and information literacy in a technical university
Слайд 2The difference in the activity of an engineer from representatives
of other professional communities of intellectuals (doctors, actors, composers, educators)
lies in his role in social production. With his productive work, he creates material values and participates in the creation of national income.
Слайд 3Modern engineer is first and foremost a specialist of a
new level, freely oriented in the global information space, able
to find, classify, process the necessary technical information from various sources and, on its basis, make efficient decisions. Carry out the necessary calculations and compile the necessary documentation, transmit it with the help of modern information and computer technologies, carry out examination, supervision and control over the state and operation of equipment.
Слайд 4Recently, technical universities have faced a problem - the drop
in the preparation of students in such fundamental sciences as
mathematics and physics. Therefore, often in the first semester, they have to conduct classes in mathematics and physics in the middle school circumference. Consequently, a qualitative engineering education is based on mathematics and physics, the foundations of which are laid in school.
Слайд 5Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor L.S. Zaznobina developed the "Standard
of Media Education, integrated into the humanities and natural science
disciplines of primary general and secondary general education". The essence of the standard is as follows: media education, integrated into the humanities and natural science school disciplines, is designed to fulfill the function of preparing children for life in the information space by strengthening the media education aspect in the study of various academic disciplines.
Слайд 6Consequently, it is also necessary for technical universities to introduce
media education integrated with academic disciplines to ensure the continuity
of the education process from school to university.
Слайд 7Summing up, it can be concluded that media and information
literacy in a technical university should contribute to the training
of highly professional engineers, in accordance with the social order of the society, the needs of the labor market, and not to contradict the trends of sociocultural reality.
