Development of information competencies in the project activities of a designer student

We substantiate the necessity of developing a holistic, continuous and profile-oriented approach to the process of developing information competencies in design-projecting in higher education. The problem of developing skills of working in a team with production specialists and customers, as well as skills of creating innovative projects, is raised. We solve the problems of improving the effectiveness of training designers in the context of modernization and integration of the content of education at the university, namely: the components of the structure of information competencies in the projecting in design of students of future designers (motivational-value, content-procedural) are formulated and highlighted; the stages of the development of information competencies of students during the study of academic disciplines related to design-projecting are highlighted and substantiated; indicators for assessing the development of basic information competencies in the projecting in design of the design students are developed in accordance with the levels established by the Federal State Educational Standard: reference, standard, threshold; a methods for the development of basic information competencies in the educational design activities of designers are developed. Theoretical conclusions and the scientific and methodic complex of the discipline “Projecting in Graphic Design”, developed on their basis, can become the main component for the scientific and methodic support of training designers at the university in the context of a competence-based approach to training and become the main part of practice-oriented project work in design-projecting in the preparation of future designers at the university, as well as in the development of advanced training courses for teachers of creative specialties.
