light of specific features of Management course are given. The results of this learning model implementation are projects,
skills acquired during the self-education work and oral presentations. To get the results of the survey students are asked to
fill in a questionnaire. Students’ answers show that the educational process has been designed efficiently and students are
satisfied with the learning process. The model for discipline “Creative project” can be used in teaching practice at
