Abstract

The development of transversal competences should be a priority task of Hungarian technical higher education. In order to be able to do this, on the one hand, it is necessary to investigate it reliably at the beginning and end of the studies, and on the other hand, during the processing of the subjects, they should become an integral part of the methodologies for the development of soft skills. In our study, we would like to report on our research, in which technical university students participated and whose objective was to examine one of the transversal competencies, the development of analogical thinking. We found that first-year students show significantly different levels of development according to BSc program, mathematics graduation result and educative abilities.
