Experience in the implementation of project activities in the framework of teaching the academic discipline "Fundamentals of Russian statehood" in the higher education system

the article presents the experience of using project activities of the academic discipline "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood", which was recently introduced into the higher education system. Using the example of the Krasnodar University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (KrU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation), the author characterizes and describes the practice of using the design method in the educational process, defines the stages, types, and features of design work, and analyzes the achieved results of cadets' research activities. The author is convinced that the design method contributes to the systematization of knowledge, the better assimilation of lecture material by students, and instills genuine scientific interest in the study of the problems of the formation and development of the Russian state-civilization. Through the application of project activities in practical classes, interdisciplinary approaches to the history of the Russian state were studied, the terminology of social sciences was mastered, and a positive experience of immersion in specific historical periods of the development of Russian statehood was gained, which allowed first-year students to formulate a collective historical and cultural image of Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that project activity, as one of the modern interactive teaching methods in the higher education system, has proved its importance and timely use, among other information technologies. Thus, in the form of immersion into the historical past and present, studying the traditions and innovations of the Russian state, the cadets consolidated the theoretical material of the academic discipline "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood". The problematic areas of Russian society at the present stage of development are identified, and options for their solution are proposed. The high level of practical significance of students' research projects was noted: publication activity in scientific periodicals, coverage of the results obtained in competitions, scientific and practical conferences, forums.
