Анотація

The article addresses current issues and prospects for the development of project-based technological activity in the system of technological education of general secondary education institutions in Ukraine under contemporary socio-economic challenges. The significance of students’ technological training is substantiated as an important factor in shaping a creative, initiative-driven, and socially active personality capable of self-realization, professional self-determination, and adaptation to the dynamic changes of the 21st century. Special attention is paid to regulatory and legal documents that define the strategic directions of educational development and emphasize the necessity of forming key competencies, including critical thinking, entrepreneurship, creativity, and the ability to engage in lifelong learning.

Project-based technological activity is characterized as an effective pedagogical approach that integrates learning with practical activity, research, and creativity. Its main functions and pedagogical advantages for students and teachers are identified, including the development of independence, responsibility, communication skills, teamwork abilities, and the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge. The role of the teacher as a facilitator and mentor in project-based learning is highlighted.

Particular emphasis is placed on the use of the method of combination (combinatorics) in the design of interior objects within the educational module «Interior Design Objects». The essence of decorative-combinatorial form creation, its connection with the laws of composition, geometric forms, and modular design is analyzed. The expediency of applying the combinatorial-modular approach as a means of developing creative thinking, solution variability, and optimizing the structural and aesthetic characteristics of products is substantiated. The article concludes by emphasizing the important role of project-based technological activity in the formation of modern technological education and in preparing students for life and professional activity in an innovative society.
