Independent researcher of Gulistan State University, Uzbekistan
Abstract:
In this paper, the need for an innovative
approach to the educational process is considered as a
pedagogical problem. Compared to traditional
methods, innovative technologies play an important
role in increasing students' interest in the lesson,
developing independent thinking and communication
skills. In particular, personality-oriented methods place
the student in the center of learning and increase their
activity. The study analyzes the activity of students, their
creative approach, and the level of participation in the
lesson, substantiating the effectiveness of the
innovative approach with practical evidence. This
approach is a priority of modern pedagogy.
Keywords:
Innovative approach, pedagogical problem,
personality orientation, educational technologies,
independent thinking, interest in the lesson,
communication skills.
Introduction:
Currently, in our Republic, along with all
other spheres, special attention is paid to improving the
educational process in higher educational institutions
and improving the quality of training competitive
personnel, creating the necessary conditions for
training qualified specialists based on international
experience, establishing close cooperation between
each higher educational institution and leading higher
educational institutions of the world, widely introducing
advanced pedagogical technologies, curricula and
teaching materials based on international educational
standards into the educational process, developing
modern professional knowledge and creative abilities of
students and teaching staff. The organization of the
educational process in higher education based on an
innovative approach is understood as the ability to
describe positive actions that demonstrate real, non-
standard methods through innovative thinking in
solving
professional
problems
to
achieve
communicative goals in intersubjective relations of the

educational process. Innovation is more integral to
everyday professional activity and serves as a basis for
the development of the competitiveness of not only
individual enterprises, but also the country's economy.
In the modern European educational environment, the
training of engineering personnel occupies a leading
place. Today, the engineering activity that implements
education based on an innovative approach implies
such an organization of the structure of the
educational process, aimed at the final result - the
quality of the activities of graduates, measured by
competence. Analysis of the educational standards of
the new generation in the preparation of future
engineers for professional activity shows that the
content of higher education already includes
disciplines that develop the engineering and design
competence
of
graduates,
which
have
an
interdisciplinary, holistic character, which makes it
possible to prepare students for professional
engineering activity.
Modern requirements for the professional training of
graduates of higher educational institutions, including
engineering and design competence, imply the
achievement of a holistic final result of the education
system, which is an important task for the
development of basic engineering and design
competence as a unit of generalized knowledge and
skills, personal abilities of graduates.
Methods. The opinions and statements of the
esteemed President of our country, expressed at this
meeting on "Priority tasks in the system of training
engineering personnel," the tasks and plans for the
future in this regard, along with expressing the
relevance of the topic of our research, that is, the
problem of developing engineering and design
competence in students, also determine its necessity.
In order to radically improve the system of training
engineers in technical higher educational institutions
of the Republic of Uzbekistan, improve the quality and
ensure the effectiveness of education, an innovative
approach to the updated structure of educational
institutions at a new stage of development is
necessary.
The necessity of developing engineering and design
competence in students based on an innovative
approach to the educational process allows for the
formation of skills that develop under the influence of
active interaction. This requires ensuring the
interactive nature of the educational environment,
conditions, and methods of teaching in higher
educational institutions.
Innovation - expresses the meaning of the individual's
creative ability, which characterizes the readiness to
generate new ideas and is part of giftedness as an
independent factor; the individual's innovation
manifests itself in their thinking, communication,
feelings, and certain types of activity. Innovation
characterizes the personality as a whole or its specific
characteristics, intelligence.
As with any specialist, in order for students to acquire
engineering and design skills based on an innovative
approach, the foundation is laid during their student
years and is consistently developed in the organization
of professional activity. In this case, the teacher's ability
to direct themselves towards creative activity and
effectively organize this activity is of great importance.
When organizing creative activity, the teacher should
pay special attention to solving problematic issues,
analyzing problem situations, as well as creating
creative products of a pedagogical nature. When solving
problematic issues and situations, the teacher's
innovative approach to finding a solution to the problem
contributes to the development of his emotional and
volitional qualities. By posing problematic issues, the
teacher encounters arguments that contradict their
existing knowledge and life experience. As a result, they
feel the need to work on themselves and learn
independently. The teacher can demonstrate the
following innovative skills:
- to be able to determine the essence and significance
of the task to be performed; to be able to analyze the
problem statement; to draw up a plan for solving the
problem;
- application of effective methods (analysis, synthesis,
induction, deduction, comparison, etc.) in solving the
problem;
- ability to choose methods for solving the problem;
- justification and re-examination of the correctness of
the decision made; conducting small research in solving
the problem; formalizing evidence related to the
conditions of solving the problem, the course of the
process, and summarizing the results of solving the
problem.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The innovative qualities of a teacher training engineers
direct their personal abilities, natural and social energy
towards the high-quality, effective organization of
professional activity. The innovative qualities of
teachers working in the higher education system help
them create new ideas, unlike the traditional approach
to the organization of educational and upbringing
processes, not to think monotonously, not to tolerate
originality, initiative, and uncertainty. Consequently, a
teacher with innovative qualities focuses on a creative
approach to organizing their professional activity,

showing activity in creating new, progressive ideas that
serve the development of children's educational
activities and personal qualities, independently
studying advanced pedagogical achievements and
experiences, as well as having the experience of
constant, consistent exchange of ideas about
pedagogical achievements with colleagues. Usually,
the innovative ability of teachers is ensured, formed,
and gradually improves and develops through the
desire
to
solve
pedagogical
problems,
the
implementation of research work or scientific projects,
and the achievement of mutual creative cooperation.
As with any specialist, the foundation for the
innovative abilities of future engineers is laid during
their student years and is consistently developed in the
organization of professional activity. In this case, the
teacher's ability to direct themselves towards creative
activity and effectively organize this activity is of great
importance.
In higher educational institutions that train engineers,
the teacher should pay special attention to solving
problematic issues, analyzing problem situations, as
well as creating creative products of an engineering
nature when organizing the engineering and design
activities of future engineers. When solving
problematic issues and situations, the teacher's
creative approach to finding solutions contributes to
the development of emotional and volitional qualities.
By posing problematic questions, the engineer
encounters arguments that contradict their existing
knowledge and life experience. As a result, they feel
the need to work on themselves and learn
independently. The pedagogue's implementation of
research work and scientific or creative projects
further develops their innovative potential. An
engineer doesn't automatically become a creator. His
creative abilities are formed through consistent
learning and self-improvement over a certain period of
time.
An innovative approach is understood as methods that
activate students and encourage independent thinking,
with the student at the center of the educational
process. When using these methods, the teacher
encourages the student to actively participate. The
learner participates throughout the entire process. The
benefits of the learner-centered approach are as
follows:
- the main focus is on creative work;
- learning with higher educational effectiveness;
- high level of student motivation;
- taking into account previously acquired knowledge;
- adaptation of reading intensity to the needs of the
student;
- support for the student's initiative and responsibility;
- learning through practical implementation;
- creating conditions for bilateral feedback.
An innovative approach to education is understood as
pedagogical approaches aimed at developing innovative
thinking, encouraging students to think creatively,
experiment, and solve problems. Unlike traditional
teaching methods that often focus on memorization
and standardized tests, creative learning encourages
students to explore, experiment, and express their
thoughts in a unique and meaningful way. This approach
contributes to the more holistic development of
students, forming the skills necessary for achieving
success.
An innovative approach to education develops critical
thinking by encouraging future engineers to analyze,
evaluate, and synthesize information in new ways.
Innovation, like any other quality (quality), is not formed
immediately. Innovation is consistently formed and
developed at certain stages.
When organizing innovative activity, the teacher should
pay special attention to solving problematic issues,
analyzing problem situations, as well as creating
creative products of a pedagogical nature.

Figure 1. The need to introduce an innovative approach to the educational process
For a full understanding of the general essence of the
process of developing innovative qualities in an
individual, it is first necessary to understand the
meaning of the concept of "innovation." According to
Ken Robinson, "innovation is a set of original ideas that
have their own value" (Azzam, 2009). Gardner, in his
research, defines the concept of innovation as follows:
"innovation is a practical action carried out by an
individual, which must reflect a certain novelty and
have a certain practical value."
In developed countries, creativity is becoming a
constant practice and the main source of competitive
advantage. The formation and development of a
creative personality depends on the compatibility of
changes in their inner and outer worlds, socio-
economic conditions, and the content of human
ontogenesis - activity that requires continuity and
succession from birth to the end of life. The
professional maturity and development of the student's
personality as a specialist, by its very nature, manifests
itself in the form of a systematic creative process. In
almost any sphere of production, the person with
creative potential ultimately wins. "Management of the
educational process in higher education based on an
innovative approach is aimed at developing the creative
abilities of future specialists, strengthening their
attitude towards innovations in their professional
consciousness by transforming them into a potential for
the formation of knowledge and skills. The innovative
approach to the educational process is strengthening its
position as an innovative type of education in our
country, the main direction of which is the development
of innovative thinking, the development of innovative
abilities and intellectual potential, the search for new
approaches to solving modern problems. These
provisions are reflected in the national educational
initiative for the development of innovative higher
The necessity of introducing an innovative approach in the educational process
For
students
The innovative approach is manifested in the creative aspiration,
creative abilities, creative goal, direction, and self-management of
the student in independent creative activity, and the possibility of
forming a mature, developing, growing engineer with his activity,
self-management.
Expected results
: formation of a comprehensively and harmoniously developed
personality, training of an engineer with high professional skills for the region and society;
For the
teacher
in contrast to the traditional approach to the organization of
educational and upbringing processes in the implementation of a
creative approach in the educational process, it is necessary to
activate students' independent work by encouraging individual
learning, which encourages students to think creatively, create new
ideas, experiment, and solve problems.
For
industries
Training of qualified engineers in accordance with the
requirements of domestic manufacturers and industry enterprises,
the possibility of in-depth professional training of personnel.
For the
community
the possibility of using local engineers in industrial development
based on the "industry - enterprise - university" chain, using
internal capabilities and resources.

education, which defines the development of a
creative personality and the continuous creative self-
development, the training of innovators capable of
self-improvement, as a priority task. This encourages
students to acquire innovative knowledge, to be self-
creators and creators of their future."
CONCLUSION
Preparing students for professional activity based on
an innovative approach is an important pedagogical
issue that increases the effectiveness of the education
system. This approach not only teaches students
knowledge and skills, but also develops their creative
thinking and problem-solving abilities. Innovation is a
necessary component in the development of new
ideas and the proposal of innovative solutions in
professional
activity.
Students
can
achieve
professional success by applying modern methods and
strategies by teachers, as well as encouraging students
to think critically and creatively.
