The place of invention as a component of the intellectual and professional potential of scientists in improving industrial technologies

Abstract

The current stage of development of science and technology is characterized by a growing need to find new solutions that ensure increased efficiency of industrial production, its environmental friendliness, energy saving, rational use of mineral resources and competitiveness. In this context, invention is of particular importance as a manifestation of the intellectual and professional potential of scientists, capable of transforming fundamental knowledge into applied innovations that directly affect the improvement of modern industrial technologies. Invention is not an isolated process - it is formed in the system of interaction of scientific and educational, production and technological and socio-economic environments. Its development is conditioned by a number of conditions - from the presence of a favorable regulatory and institutional framework to stimulating the process at all stages of its life cycle. Invention, as a form of creative activity, can be born where these components interact in the environment, if it becomes a factor stimulating its emergence, promoting development and further implementation - in the educational and scientific space, the production and technological environment, and the innovative and attractive economic field. The expediency of defining the professional component of the potential of the individual as a mediator between knowledge and practice Vanyukov A.A., Kamkina L.V., Myanovskaya Y.V., Kovalyov M.D., Tsibulya E.V., Chumak D.D., the use of useful properties of which contributes to the transformation of intelligence and creativity into specific results of the professional and creative activity of the individual, is substantiated. As a way of self-expression, a person's ability to invent in his activity does not appear by itself, it can be purposefully developed using the following means: educational, practical, psychological and socio-professional. It is shown that the professional component occupies an equal place alongside the mental and emotional components, because it is it that ensures the practical application of the other two in the field of labor activity and self-realization in scientific activity. The study used analytical and survey methods to study the conditions for the development of invention in the direction of improving metallurgical processes, with an emphasis on their physical and chemical nature and orientation. It is shown that leveling the role of the features of the transformation of the properties of the physicochemical potential of the object/process of research reduces both the scientific value and does not contribute to determining the spectrum of real functional possibilities of their transformation. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the factors of influence, external and internal in origin, and the conditions that contribute to the development of invention as a creative form of activity of a scientist with the definition of key components of the potential of the individual, which, in turn, is a condition for the development of innovative, competitive solutions. The latter are able to more rationally solve the problems of energy efficiency, conservation of mineral resources, energy and a significant reduction in the loss of useful properties of the environmental potential. For the first time, it is theoretically substantiated that the professional component is the third and key component of the potential of the individual, along with the mental and emotional. There are works, the results of which, determined by their authors, closely outline the role of professional or professional potential in the structure of personal development. Their approaches, used in determining the composition and role of factors of influence, indirectly confirm the importance of the professional component precisely as a component that ensures professional, creative self-realization of the individual and in inventive activity. But researchers have not found a direct mention of the model-triad "mental - emotional - professional-professional" components of the intelligence of the individual. Invention, occupying a central-integrative place among the factors of influence, combines them into a single system, creates the effect of synergistic acceleration of the development of science and technology, translating the intellectual - professional potential of society into specific innovative results in practice.
