Abstract

The goal of the given study was to develop, justify and test pedagogical conditions for effective formation of socio-psychological readiness for academic mobility (SPRAM) of engineering students. SPRAM of engineering students is studied as an integrative personal characteristics that includes stable motivation; psychological knowledge and skills; self-regulation and self-management mechanisms; need for application of the acquired knowledge of technologies and methods; professional competences and language proficiency; abilities for independent performance, planning and effective implementation in the academic and working environment; capability to communicate successfully, resolve social situations and choose relevant communicational strategies.

The findings of the study allow concluding that the suggested pedagogical conditions for SPRAM development are efficient and helpful for the training of global engineers. The findings show that the engineering students’ SPRAM considerably improved when the suggested model was implemented.
