Didactic and acmeologic aspects of training gifted students with regard to the theoretical mechanics competitions // Herald of the DSEA. – 2019. – № 2 (46). – P. 171–180.The training of the specialists with good creative abilities, professional knowledge and skills is necessary to boost the innovative high-tech economy. The higher education industry is focusing on discovering new talent and working with gifted students. Competitions between students represent one of the ways to fulfill the purpose of finding students talented in technics and helping them to develop their creative abilities. This article tackles the didactic and acmeological aspects of such work.

The process of preparing tasks for competitions should fit pedagogical, psychological and methodical criteria. The academic stuff preparing students for technical competitions should be competitive and highly motivated so that they can inspire students to develop their skills and gain knowledge. The good result can be achieved only under condition of achieving the right balance between learning, social and psychological motives when students are keen to work. The authors published the Learning Course for Technical Student which helps to learn how to solve advanced tasks in Theoretical Mechanics. This Course should be considered as methodical support in the system of preparing students for competitions. The authors also propose the method of selecting students for technical competitions ER -
