Tamara Valishvili, Tea Valishvili

Abstract


The global processes of the modern society dictate new approaches in modern education. Therefore, an education system are made very high demands: it has to prepare the specialists for life and work activity in the quickly changing world, where the person performs non-standard tasks constantly. Use of various new techniques improves the process of studying, teaches the student to think and really to use their knowledge gained at the lectures.  In this article we will consider a method of “Problem Based Learning” which promotes deeper understanding of the studied material and application of the gained knowledge in practice. Akaki Tsereteli State University takes an active position in implementation of the modern educational technologies, including the problem-based learning. Now within the university education this method is used at the individual level. New practice is in a traditional framework of the existing educational system, it treats the activity of each individual teacher and so it is very private. At this level changes don’t have great influence on the University. In fact, they are carried out so that anybody doesn't know about it, except the involved teacher. The method allows not only to form and fix skills of knowledge acquisition, but also to learn specifics of work in team.
