Education is a strategic basis of the development of individuals, society, nation, state, and a key to a successful future. Transformation of post-industrial society in the global informative based not only on knowledge, but also on the competence of specialists, significantly actualized the problem of innovative approaches to educational processes. As a result, it puts forward very high requirements to the system of education in modern conditions: it must train professionals to live and work in a wide, dynamic, rapidly changing world, where custom tasks, which solution presupposes skills to build and analyze their own actions, constantly arise before man. To achieve a target goal it is necessary to make a special emphasis on providing innovative nature of the education system in accordance with the socio-economic challenges and innovative nature of the economy [1]. Innovative methods of preparation of students in higher education hold the key position in such system, and these methods will be directly involved in the formation and implementation of investment and innovation policy in the future.

The complexity and diversity of the process note in modern scientific literature, dedicated to the problems of management of innovative processes in educational activities.

Particular attention is focused on the fact that the innovative approach of teaching students should be systematic and should cover all aspects of the educational work in preparing future professionals, however, it should be reviewed theoretical and practical approaches to the content of education, professional and pedagogical training of teachers, development of new technologies and teaching methods. Marked problems are actively exploring foreign researchers such as John Martin, L. Swanson, I. Lerner, M. Skatkin, V. Bespalko, V. Slastenin, O. Pehota, S. Sysoev and others. However, most of the researches are aimed at secondary schools, but higher schools unfairly left without attention of domestic scientists. And the works, that focus on consideration of the original features of innovative methods of teaching students, as well as identifying the advantages and prospects of the use of various innovative forms of teaching, are not so much.

As known, the basis of innovative educational technologies used in the educational process should be the social order, the professional interests of future specialists, taking into account individual, personal characteristics of students [2]. Therefore, the application of innovative forms and methods for training in higher education must be organically combined with a pragmatic understanding of goals and objectives of education and professional training. In modern psychological and pedagogical literature is noted that innovative methods are reflected in many learning technology aimed at the development and improvement of the educational process and training for professional work in various spheres of life in modern society. [3] It creates the conditions for the formation and consolidation of professional knowledge and skills of the students, contributes to the development of professional qualities of the future specialist. Using innovative teaching methods in learning process helps to overcome stereotypes in the teaching of different disciplines, new approaches to professional situations, the development of creative abilities of students.

Effective forms of educational work to introduce in the educational process of innovation processes and the formation of the key professional competencies of future professionals are active use of various forms and methods of training: the creation of projects, preparation of public speech, professional discussion of important issues, cooperative learning, the creation of problematic situations, training of professional directed videos and presentations, etc. The transition from the informative explanatory education to the active innovation associated with the use of new computer and a variety of information technologies, electronic textbooks, videos in the educational process, provides a free search activity, and involves the development and personal orientation [5]. For this reason, various innovative methods of teaching students may be noted today, in particular, it is problematic and play technology, technologies of collective and group activity, simulation of active learning methods, analysis method of active training, project method, cooperative learning, creative learning, innovation educational project activities, press conference lectures, conversation lectures, visualization lectures, debates, etc.

Consider some of the presented methods in more detail.

Various games are widely presented in the game simulation: business, qualification, organizational activity, innovation, reflexive games to relieve stress and the formation of innovative thinking, search and approbation, etc. [4]. The productive transforming activity of students dominates when business games are used. In particular, the multiplicity and alternative solutions are characteristic of educational games from which it is necessary to make a rational choice. Today business games for educational purposes are widely used in universities, mainly among older years for learning special subjects, especially that related to the economy, organization and management, accounting, law and new forms of management in market conditions.

Innovative educational project activity is an effective form of organization of educational process aimed at the individual development of cognitive interests and creative abilities of students. This method involves the mastery of presentation technique of various creative works (reports, reviews, abstracts, professionally oriented reports). The meaning and purpose of pedagogical innovation is the implementation of a new vision of teaching methodology, involving new methods, technologies, multimedia learning tools for the development of the personality of the future specialist.

Project method refers to research. Development of cognitive skills of students, abilities to independently construct their knowledge to orientate the information space, the development of critical thinking and creativity are the basis of this method [3]. Project method is focused on independent activities of students - individual, pair and group that students perform during a certain period of time. This method is organically combined with a group approach of education. Project method always assumes the solution of some problem, which, on the one hand, involves using of various methods and means of training, and, on the other hand, integration of knowledge and skills from different fields of science, engineering, technology and creative work.

Creative learning involves free access of each student to the Internet resources and is based on the following principles:

• the prospective educational product, that will be created by students, is the basis for creative learning;

• the compliance of external educational product of student with his/her domestic needs;

• the student's individual educational trajectory in the educational space;

• Interactive sessions using telecommunications;

• open communication in relation to the student created educational products.

Thus, to sum up, it can be noted that the basis of innovative teaching methods of students are active methods that help to form a creative, innovative approach to the understanding of professional activities, develop independent thinking, the ability to make optimal decisions under certain circumstances. As practice shows, the use of innovative methods in the field of technical oriented education is a prerequisite for the preparation of highly qualified specialists. Using a variety of methods and techniques of active learning stirs students' interest to the most educational and cognitive activity that allows you to create an atmosphere of motivated, creative learning and simultaneously solve a range of academic, educational, developmental tasks.
