How to Create an Application Project for Undergraduate Students

Student projects: what are they for?

Project activities for students were introduced into HSE undergraduate programs in 2014. This practice has two goals: to give students the opportunity to try themselves in real work in their chosen specialty and gain experience in applying the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in practice.

You can create such a project if you have a task or task that students can complete. Thus, when executing a project:

The customer organizes a workflow or solves a specific problem in an organization/department;

Students consolidate the acquired material in the process of working on the project.

How is project activity organized within the framework of HSE undergraduate programs?

The concept of the project has been formed, there is an interested person in it Customer

Applying for a project for Project Fair an employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics

students are signed up for the project, students are selected
The general system for organizing work on a project at the Higher School of Economics is as follows:

Summing up the project, assessment of student work

Project work

The main feature of the project is the inclusion of students in the work on practical tasks which require students to use the knowledge, discipline and responsibility gained in the learning process. Such tasks can be set for students both by HSE departments and external customers. It is important that the project manager be an employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

What kind of projects can students take on?

You can involve students in the work on the project if the purpose of its implementation is a specific product that can be used for applied or research purposes. Students can also be involved in the organization and implementation of some process - holding conferences, olympiads, excursions, open days, etc.

Based on this, projects can be classified into three types:

If the main goal of the project is to conduct research, which implies the receipt of some scientific or applied scientific product as a result, for example, an article / publication, report, analytical review or note, an application for a scientific grant, methodological manual etc. - that project research;

In the case when the main goal of the project is to solve some applied task, such as the development and justification of a design solution, the creation of a business plan or a business case, especially for an external customer, the project refers to applied;

a project involving the participation of students in the organization of an event or in the implementation of organizational processes (organization feedback teacher and students, technical preparation of educational materials, organizational assistance in the process of conducting classes, etc.) - service project.

Each project has a labor intensity in credits, which are credited to the students who completed them and are taken into account in their curricula. Service projects have the lowest credit cost (and students cannot earn more than 25% of the credits they need with such projects), but they do not require a detailed description of the result.

How to prepare such a project?

When preparing a project proposal, you will need to answer the following questions:

What will the project be called?

The name is the first parameter that students will pay attention to. Try to make it clear and precise reflect the essence of the work.

Who will lead the project?

An employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics should act as a leader.

Which department is the customer of the project?

If the customer is external, then the project manager's department should be indicated in the application.

When should the project be completed?

The project must have a start date and a finish date. You also need to decide how long you will accept applications for participation in the project. Allow time for student selection if there are more applications than required.

How many credits can be assigned per project?

The complexity of the project is calculated in credits accrued to each student upon its completion. 1 credit equals 25 (astronomical) hours of student work. Some projects may require preparatory or independent work, it must also be counted, as well as the time for the defense and / or presentation of the results.

Example: A project lasts 10 weeks and each student involved spends 5 hours per week on it. Thus, in total, students will work 50 hours, which is the complexity of the project in 2 credits.

Example 2: To complete a project, you need to spend 300 hours on it. So, if you open on project 4 vacancies and, it turns out that each student will spend 75 hours on its implementation. The complexity of the project in this case is equal to 3 credits.

Note. The project manager decides which way to round the clock. If there are few vacancies and the work is complex, it is recommended to round the hours up (i.e., for example, 35 hours can be rounded up to 50 and assigned a workload of 2 credits). If the work is group and routine, it is recommended to round down.

How many students can be involved in the project?

You can involve as many students in the project as you need. successful implementation project on time.

If you don't know how many students you need, this number can be obtained based on the project's due date and the total number of hours required to complete the project (or hours per project per week).

Students have both classroom and extracurricular activities, and usually a student can allocate from 1 to 6 hours per week for a project (up to 15 hours for especially urgent projects). This will allow you to determine the number of students you need.

Example: if the project requires 8 hours a week, then you can attract 1 student, or 2 students who will work 4 hours a week, or 4 students who will work 2 hours a week (labor intensity in loans will be correspondingly lower) .

Example 2: The project takes a total of 200 hours to complete, with a project timeline of 10 weeks. It turns out that on average per week you need to spend 20 hours on the project. If each student is required to work on a project for 4 hours per week, then the project will require 5 vacancies.

Where will the students work?

Students can work on the project on the premises of the department, the customer, or remotely.

How will students be assigned tasks?

While working on your project, students can receive tasks either individually or in groups. It is possible that for all students the task will be common for the project.

Students of what educational programs (and what courses) do you invite to participate?

If you wish, you can limit the enrollment of students to certain undergraduate educational programs. You can also limit the enrollment of certain courses by students, without differentiation according to the selected educational programs.

Example: students of the EP "Oriental Studies", " International relationships" and "Political Science", courses 3 to 4.

What other requirements should be for potential project participants?

Specify professional requirements- prerequisites for the knowledge, skills and abilities of students that you expect from project participants. It is possible to indicate the disciplines that students must already master.

Where will meetings with project participants and students work (if not remotely) take place?

Such a territory can be an office of a subdivision of the Higher School of Economics or the territory of a customer.

What keywords characterize the project?

When making an application, you will need to specify the tags - keywords related to the theme of the project. Using them, it will be easier for students and anyone interested to find your project on the HSE portal.

What else is required to be specified in the application for the project?

If at the previous stage all information about the organizational side of the project was collected, then at this stage it is required to describe its content.

The project description should include:

General description of the goals and objectives of the project;
Information about the external customer (if any);
Types of activities performed by the student in the project / skills being developed
The planned result of the work on the project;
Criteria for evaluating the final result;
Criteria for assessing the individual contribution of students to the work.

Pay special attention to the nature of the activity that students will be engaged in, since this item will best show what skills the student will be practicing.

Also one of the key points design work is the assessment of the final result and the contribution of students to the work.

In relation to research and applied projects, the result can be evaluated according to external criteria, for example, the acceptance of an article for publication, the coincidence of predictions with reality, changes in observed characteristics, etc. at the same time, the most effective and recommended way to evaluate the results of a project is to public defense before the customer. For a service project, this item is optional.

Evaluation of students' contribution to the work may depend entirely on the evaluation of the project result, or it may be differentiated, in which the number of credits is accrued depending on the student's fulfillment of his project tasks, meeting deadlines, etc.

All items on the page for adding a project are mandatory. The "Project Description" block should contain basic information about the content of the work on the project (no more than 500 characters). A detailed description of the project is best attached as a separate file (available in the same block).

After filling in all the required fields, you can send it for consideration to the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs. After reviewing the project for compliance with all the requirements specified in the Instruction, the project will be published at the Fair and available to students.

For potential customers:

If you are interested in implementing a project with HSE students, but you are not an HSE employee and do not have professional contacts with HSE faculty who could act as project leaders, use the following options:

email us about your idea at [email protected];
contact the contacts on the portal www.hse.ru with the heads of that educational program or department whose students are suitable for the purpose of the project.

"Digital Publishing"

During the course, students get acquainted with the theory and history of digital publishing, choose the topic and content of the book (as a rule, these are collections of essays and articles by famous scientists, critics or publicists), interact with the author, work on the book as editors in the Adobe Digital Publishing System program and develop marketing strategies to promote your product.

You can see what happened at. In November 2016, students presented the books they had prepared, . One of the books, How It's Done: Producing in the Creative Industries, entered the top sales of the Ridero publishing platform in March 2016.

“Transmedia Extensions for Museums”

Students, together with museum professionals, produce transmedia extensions for museums: they think through content and visual concepts, build interaction with designers and museum staff, and work in archives. Museums thus receive additional resources to attract an audience, and students - experience in working on real projects.

In the 2016-17 academic year, part of the students worked on projects for small museums of the Tretyakov Gallery (they include the Museum-Apartment of A.M. Vasnetsov, the House-Museum of V.M. Vasnetsov, the Museum-Workshop of A.S. Golubkina, the House-Museum P. D. Korina). The result of their work will be a website, which in the future will be a separate page of the Tretyakov Gallery website. Their work is led by Tatyana Gafar, head of the Tretyakov Museum Development Service.

The second group is busy with multi-format multimedia projects, thematically related to the works and life of Leo Tolstoy. They work together with Fyokla Tolstaya, head of the development department of the State Leo Tolstoy Museum.

The course is led by Anna Kachkaeva, media critic, candidate of philological sciences, professor at the Department of Media.

Among the platforms, the work of which undergraduates get acquainted directly with, are Courson, Netology, stepic.org, MTS Corporate University, etc.

Sections: Technology

Designing is an obligatory part of vocational training. Educational and technical projects are well known as its products. In the experience of the work of colleges, as well as universities, project activities are used in different directions. On the one hand, traditionally (especially in technical educational institutions) diploma design is a teaching and at the same time a controlling form of organization of specialist training. The creation of a final qualifying work or a graduation project acts as a resulting act, indicating the student's ability to independently create and publicly present a professional product. On the other hand, design is increasingly being used as a special type of pedagogical activity, including for solving problems aimed at achieving a specific strategic result - providing consumers with additional educational services of a quality product, which is the goal of a process-oriented approach.

This approach will ensure constant management of the relationship between individual processes and subsystems. The application of this approach emphasizes the need to consider the process in terms of added value, obtaining results of its implementation and efficiency, its continuous improvement based on objective measurement.

Socio-pedagogical design is understood as the ability to transform social processes, phenomena, conditions with the help of pedagogical means. Each socio-pedagogical project has its own public mission (purpose). It is born on the basis of social forecasting and foresight, focused on changing the surrounding social environment (social conditions) and requiring self-determination of the project participants regarding the quality of this environment. The specific context of the socio-pedagogical project is formed by the relations of social partnership. The pedagogical potential of this type of projects is aimed at the socialization of its participants, their conscious adaptation to existing conditions; on the formation of the ability to interact productively with the surrounding social space, improving it to the best of one's ability and thereby solving one's problems.

Design is today in the arsenal of innovative pedagogical tools and methods. The ability to organize students' project activities is an indicator of the teacher's high qualification. Real work over the project, and most importantly, a reflexive assessment of the planned and achieved results helps students to realize that knowledge is not so much an end in itself, but a necessary means that ensures a person’s ability to competently build their thinking and life strategies, make decisions, adapt in society and fulfill themselves as a person. It was these ideas that were supported by teachers and students of the regional secondary schools at the competition of social projects held in our educational institution.

It should be noted that work in this direction teaching staff was launched from the moment of organizing an experimental laboratory of productive education on the basis of the Pedagogical College in 2002 in collaboration with scientists from the Institute of Preschool Education of the Russian Academy of Education and the Pedagogical Institute of SSU named after. N.G. Chernyshevsky. Since 2004, the college has adapted to practice a scientifically based system of teaching students of project activities (author Mitrofanova E.A.).

The first student mega project (“Good Deeds”) in 2005 was presented at the 17th Congress of the International Network of Productive Schools (INEPS) “Productive Learning and Democratization of the School” (Moscow), following which the Volsky Pedagogical College was admitted to the International network of productive schools. For five years, students have been actively presenting their projects at various conferences at the Russian and international level. In 2006, they took two second places (out of 150 submitted projects at the international conference “From school project to a professional career” (Saratov), “Productive Education Almanac” (Moscow) and other collections contain more than 50 articles by teachers and students devoted to project activities. All this was the basis for the organization of the regional competition of student projects on the basis of the college, which has been going on for three years (2006 - 2009). During this time, students of secondary vocational education from institutions of the region, such as the Saratov Regional Basic Medical College, the Volsky Medical School named after V.I. ZI Mareseva, Saratov State Vocational Pedagogical College. A.A. Gagarin, Saratov Agricultural College, Saratov Regional Social and Pedagogical College, Volsk Musical College, Saratov College of Culinary Arts, Volsk Pedagogical College, etc.

At the competition, projects are presented in which the guys are participants in real cases, important events. Projects: “I choose life”, “Let's save for centuries”, “Live the spring”, “The first abortion - we are against”, “We are 20 years old” and many others showed how important the problems that the students had to discuss were just by their name.

To participate in the competition, students and their leaders were divided into 4 sections: "Traditions and innovation in the culture of the XXI century", "I choose life", "To understand and help", "The world around us".

The social mission of many projects was to attract the attention of as many people as possible to existing problems. These were the projects “The first abortion - we are against” (Volsk Medical School named after Z.I. Mareseva), “Clean Air for the City” (Volsk Pedagogical College) who took 1st place; the project “Mass-physical culture-sports movement and a healthy lifestyle” (Saratov technical school of railway transport), which took 2nd place; project “I choose life” (Saratov Regional Basic Medical College), which took 3rd place and others.

The following projects were aimed at enhancing the creative, socially significant activities of adults and adolescents, cultivating a responsible attitude towards oneself and others, the formation of socially positive motivation in adolescents and their inclusion in socially significant activities. These are projects - “Let's save for centuries”, which won 1st place (Volsky Pedagogical College); “There is such a mansion on Moskovskaya Street” - 2nd place (Saratov College of Culinary Arts); “Through Worlds and Ages” (Saratov State Vocational Pedagogical College named after A.A. Gagarin), “Formula of Success” (Volsk Musical College), “No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten” (Volsk Pedagogical College), which took 3rd place .

Social and pedagogical projects are designed, on the one hand, for a wide public outcry, on the other hand, participation in them becomes an unforgettable event in life for students, gives them an impetus to master new types of social and pedagogical activity.

So, the main advantages of this activity are that it is aimed at the final result and allows you to quickly respond to changes, aim all participants in the project activity at the result of the processes (product). Thus, a process-oriented approach allows you to organize activities in such a way that it is flexible, aimed at constantly improving the quality of the final product.
