The article discusses the issues related to the practice of introducing project-based learning when obtaining
higher professional education. The purpose of the work is the approbation of the technique and teaching methods
for conducting research work of students in the framework of projects at the Kazakh-Russian International
University in Aktobe. The main stages of the project implementation and the feasibility of its use as a teaching
method were studied and analyzed. An assessment of the practical results of group and individual work done by
project students in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 academic years is presented.
Studies have revealed positive results of the use of the project-based learning that can be expressed in the
efficiency increase of the development of the professional, personal, and entrepreneurial competencies of students.
The prospects for the development of an integrated track of the project-based education at the KRII as a part of the
business projects (taking as an example the creation of a CRS fish breeding farm for raising catfish) are
considered, which will generally contribute to the development of adaptation qualities and creativity that will
allow the future specialists to shorten the period of adaptation in the field.
Methodological recommendations are given for the organization and maintenance of the main stages of
conducting research projects for students of technical professions in a higher education institution on the example
of research on the issues of a culture of safe behavior, production and the quality of drinking water, and
aquaculture fish farming. The use of the project-based learning in a higher education institution is justified in
regards to the positive impact on the academic performance of students in acquiring professional skills.
