Cultural components of graduate students’ project activity ( Componentes culturales de las actividades de proyectos de los estudiantes de posgrado )

Abstract

Spanish

The aim is to study the grounds for project activity culture formation among graduate students. The study relies on quantitative methods to determine the level of the axiological, cognitive, reflexive and creative components of project activity culture. The respondents were 80 first-year graduate students enrolled in pedagogical programmes. The results show that when studying the axiological component, it was revealed that such values as ‘security’, ‘independence’, ‘kindness’, ‘hedonism’ and ‘universalism’ are the most important for graduate students. For further formation of the project activity culture of graduate students, the need to increase the level of the selected components was revealed. Further research on the issue will be carried out in the context of the implementation of the courses described and determining their effectiveness by reconsidering the selected components.
