Abstract. 

Introduction. The article examines the problem of developing management competencies of students of an economic university based on the use of the information and pedagogical technology of blended learning “flipped classroom”. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the possibility of using this technology to develop studentsʼ self-government competencies and interaction with each other in teamwork. Methodology. The methodological basis of the presented study is a general scientific systems approach that allows considering the subjects and objects of educational activity in a higher educational institution as elements of a management system. Pilot work on the implementation of the proposed approach was carried out in 2021–2025 at the Minsk branch of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. To assess the attitude of students in the experimental groups to the use of the flipped classroom technology in the educational process and its impact on the formation of their self-government and interaction competencies with each other, the CSI – Customer Satisfaction Index metric was used. The assessment of the results of studentsʼ educational activities in accordance with the requirements of the curricula was carried out using the semester point-rating system adopted at the university, including an assessment of the degree of studentsʼ activity in the classroom, the results of ongoing monitoring, a creative rating and the results of the final certification. The assessment of management competencies was carried out on the basis of studentsʼ self-assessment, the “critical friend” method and an expert assessment by the teacher. 

Results. Comparison of the results of educational activities of students in the experimental and control groups indicates the high potential of the pedagogical technology “flipped classroom” for the development of management competencies of students, which in turn has a positive impact on their other educational and scientific achievements. Conclusion. The proposed approach to the use of the “flipped classroom” technology in the educational process at an economics university makes it possible to successfully develop the managerial competencies of specialists that are in demand in the innovative economy.

Keywords: blended learning; flipped classroom; management competencies; team culture.
