COMPETENCIES AND COMPETENCE IN THE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY OF MASTERS STUDENTS: ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES
This article is devoted to a discussion of the basic phenomenon of the modern educational paradigm - competency, as well as its structural content and various approaches to understanding as a pedagogical phenomenon. The article notes the separation of opinions on competencies as separate characteristics of a future competent specialist and competency as an integrating concept in the system of an activity approach in higher education. At the same time, the authors of the article give examples of different approaches to the interpretation of these terms and their possible logical connection. The authors pay special attention to the discussion of competence in the field of scientific activity of graduate students as an important component of the emerging professional activity. The article describes the approaches to the structure of the research competence of undergraduates and describes those competencies and their groups that can be considered as components of a common scientific - research competency. The authors give an example of one of the possible classifications of scientific competencies, which was developed by R.I. Popova. In addition, the article also substantiates the allocation of a separate group of competencies for interaction, which may underlie scientific communication as an important element of an interdisciplinary scientific search.
