Methods of project design teaching to university students

We consider the organization methods of art and project activities teaching to designers, including several types: artist, project, information and technology, organization and management, research and teaching, in the modernization of professional education and new state standards adoption. That allows to build a mobile teaching system on the level of modern computer technologies, methods of communication and information transfer. We present the comparative characteristic of methods. It reflects degree of students activity and independence in project activity teaching to designers according to the main stages of design project. In this study we consider the project activity of the designer on the principle of double entry as a mean and result of future professional activity, the methods system as a way of organizing educational, cognitive and project activities of students. The focus is on active and interactive methods of project activities teaching to designers: “round table”, “brainstorming”, business games, case method, including special: workshop, creative overview and choice following the stages of project design, which allow the most effective to realize individual and group work on the design project. The universality of our early approaches to the choice of teaching methods and the developed automated system allows us to modify the existing database of methods following the specifics of project design, which enables to use it in the system of training designers.
