Description
Summary:Abstract: Introduction. One of the university’s educational environment priorities is the formation of students’ skills related to the ability of professional development in conditions of socio-economic uncertainty. Entrepreneurial skills can significantly increase the value of students of all specialities in the labor market and the effectiveness of their professional activities. The purpose of the study is to design the university's educational environment for the development of students’ entrepreneurial skills development on the example of Sevastopol State University (SevSU). Methods. Based on the methods of systematization and classification of domestic and foreign experience of entrepreneurial education in universities, the principles of design thinking (using focus groups) and visualization were used to design the educational environment. Assessment of students’ entrepreneurial preferences was carried out by a survey of 821 SevSU students of various specializations, followed by a frequency semantic analysis of responses. Results. A model of the educational environment for students’ entrepreneurial skills development has been made with the designation of target results and the recommended composition of the necessary organizational and pedagogical conditions. Entrepreneurial preferences were revealed in 29.4 % of the students, regardless of their professional specialization. Discussion. The theoretical aspect of the performed research novelty lies in the concretization of the students’ entrepreneurial skills as a form of their personal and environmental professional interaction factor. In the applied aspect, the author’s model of the educational environment for the development of students’ entrepreneurial skills has been developed, which is ready for adaptation and use in the universities to design organizational and pedagogical infrastructure for teaching students regardless of their professional specialization. The main stages of designing the educational environment are identifying the key experiences of students using the principles of design thinking; determining the target results of mastering the entrepreneurial track with modelling the composition of the necessary organizational and pedagogical conditions of the educational environment; identification and research of the contingent of various specialities students interested in the development of entrepreneurial skills.
