COMPETENCE-BASED APPROACH FOR TRAINING STUDENTS OF THE TECHNOSPHERE SAFETY FIELD (CASE STUDY OF THE DISCIPLINE "REGIONAL ECOLOGY")
INTRODUCTION. At present, a competence-based approach integrating the ideas of other approaches comes out the academic environment in daily educational practice. Based on the example of the discipline "Regional ecology" we analyzed the experience of the department of industrial ecology and life safety of Irkutsk National Research technical University in implementation of the competence-based approach when training Bachelor’s degree students studying Technosphere safety. METHODS. We systematized competences of the professional standard "The specialist in ecological safety (in the industry)" and federal State Education Standard of the third generation for the field ‘Technosphere safety’ and implemened problem and search educational technology. RESULTS. The analysis of competences provided for by professional and federal educational standards was carried out. Using the discipline "Regional ecology" as an example, we considered the ways of meeting these standards using up-to-date educational technology. CONCLUSION. Training Bachelor’s degree students of the Technosphere safety field in line with the requirements of the professional standard "The specialist in ecological safety (in the industry)" has to be based on the competence-based approach which is in compliance with the federal educational standard. Problem and search educational technology should be used in training bachelor’s degree students. Using the discipline "Regional ecology" as an example, we showed the possibility for accumulating competences and analyzed the stages of achieving the educational goals.
