USE OF HERMENEUTIC TECHNIQUES AND METHODS FOR FORMING RESEARCH COMPETENCIES OF TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The article examines the use of hermeneutic techniques and methods, in particular, the hermeneutic circle, for the correct understanding of texts. It is indicated that the concept of "text" should not be understood only as a verbal (linguistic) text, but also in its other forms. The work consistently traces the development of the concept of "hermeneutic circle" which was introduced into scientific circulation by Schleiermacher, and then his ideas were further developed in the scientific works of Dilthey, Heidegger, Gadamer and others. The authors consider how the content of the hermeneutic circle changed in different ways with its unchanged form. Based on empirical material, the authors show their experience in the formation of research competencies among students of a technical university.
