Formation of professional competences in students of transport universities to meet modern requirements

Abstract

The article discusses the stages of the formation of professional competencies in the process of training future engineers of the Navy. An analysis of the concept of competence in the interpretation of modern scientists is carried out. The features of the formation of professional competence are analyzed, considering the specifics of a general technical academic discipline, and the integral role of skills and abilities as objects traditional for pedagogy is shown. It is shown that the competencies that a university graduate must master can be divided into two classes: professional (subject-specialized) and general cultural (universal), not directly related to the solution of professional problems, but related to the success of the professional activity. As a result of the analysis of the task of designing the content of subject competencies, the fundamental functional structure of the process of forming the professional competence of a general technical academic discipline is presented. The problem of the relationship between sensory (empirical) and rational (theoretical) knowledge is revealed in the aspect of applying theoretical knowledge in the practical activities of a transport specialist.
