Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2010 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The capabilities of education of students of the Institute of Marine Technologies, Power Engineering and Transport in Astrakhan State Technical University to generalized methods of professional task solutions requiring the application of physical knowledge are examined. During the investigation nine types of professional tasks are defined; the requirements for arranging professional tasks and the technique of teaching students to perform separate actions of the generalized method of tasks solution, connected with the operation of the technical object by the example of special exercises are developed. The technique to teach students some generalized methods of tasks solution is demonstrated on the example of the professional task "Elimination of deviations from the norm of parameter values describing the object condition". It is theoretically defined that the basic course of general physics allows formation of professionally significant skills of students of the institute of marine technologies, power engineering and transport. %K professional tasks %K practically valuable tasks %K generalized methods of solutions %K generalized methods formation %K exploitation of technical object %K activity educational theory. %U http://astu.org/content/userimages/file/sea_1_2010/32.pdf
