COMPETENCE APPROACH IN TRAINING MANUFACTURERS WHEN TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE "BOTANICS"
Reforms of higher professional education require a revision of the established approaches, the search for new principles for the formation of the content of education, the organization of independent work of cadets (students). The implementation of the competence-based approach requires the implementation of the relationship between academic knowledge and practical skills and abilities that ensure the involvement of a specialist in professional activities. The Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Professional Education FGOS-3 ++ defined the basic requirements for the results of mastering the basic educational programs for training a specialist-pharmacist through the assimilation of universal and general professional competencies in the process of training a cadet (student) at a university. The implementation of the competence-based approach is based on the development and use of educational technologies aimed at the formation of skills and abilities that are close to the situations of future professional activities. Modern higher pharmaceutical education involves the use of innovative teaching methods. Innovative technologies make it possible to intensify the learning process; to teach cadets (students) to research and evaluate information, work with sources, reference and information fund; instill the initial skills of making an independent decision. Laboratory studies take a leading place in the study of the discipline "Botany". The purpose of the laboratory classes is the formation of practical skills, the connection of theoretical knowledge with practical skills, the mastery of practical methods of data processing and analysis, the development of independent thinking, the acquisition of professional skills. Teaching botany is impossible without an appropriate material and technical base that meets modern requirements, the latest education technologies being introduced, the implementation of innovative programs, the modernization of laboratory equipment, informatization and computerization of the educational process. An important aspect in training a pharmacist is instilling research skills. Students perform independent research work in the course of educational field practice in botany. Electronic teaching aids play a significant role in this process. When studying the discipline "Botany" requires the assimilation of significant visual material. Electronic study guides allow cadets (students) to repeat theoretical and visual teaching material on their own outside the classroom. The staff of the Department of Biology has developed an electronic textbook for field practice in botany.
