Pedagogical Conditions for the Language Competence Development in Officers of the System of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Process of Continuous and Distance Learning

Abstract

The course taken by Ukraine for European integration, NATO membership and cooperation with employees of the world security institutions in today's environment requires the language competence development in officers of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the process of distance learning. But the officers distance learning is absent in Ukraine due to the need to maintain the secrecy of officers and the lack of servers with Ukrainian data registration. The purpose of the research is to develop and experimentally test the model of language competence development in officers of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and pedagogical conditions of the model implementation. Scientific novelty includes the model of language competence development in officers in the process of distance learning with its scientific approaches, purpose, principles, content of distance learning, which is differentiated by the specific officers' missions and routine, technologies, means, methods and forms of distance learning as well as pedagogical conditions of model implementation. The list of distance learning tools, technologies and autonomous educational platforms for learning a foreign language remotely by officers has been updated. The results are the pedagogical conditions of the model implementation which initiate the model and follow it during all time of training. They are following: development and implementation of new educational and methodological groundwork for distance learning, development and formation of digital competence in teachers and digital literacy in officers-students, development of positive motivation in officers to foreign languages. The efficiency of the model and pedagogical conditions of language competence development in officers in the process of distance learning is experimentally proved. Prospects for research is to develop a model of Ukrainian language distance learning for the foreign officers.
