CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION AND EVALUATION OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS' COMPETENCIES
Introduction. The article is devoted to the development of a methodology for the formation of extractive industries' professional competencies for employees, which are prepared for activities and preservation of life and health in emergency situations and the extreme impact of external factors. The purpose of the article is to justify conceptual approaches to determining the content of advanced training aimed at preparing for activities in extreme conditions when using adaptive training complexes and to describe options for organizing the educational process and evaluating its effectiveness based on the developed model of a competitive specialist. Methodology. Training of specialists for activities in extreme conditions is carried out on the basis of competence and activity methodological approaches. The psychological and pedagogical conditions are identified and the didactic components of the educational process are determined using the potential of the digital educational environment. Various levels of immersion of students in the production process based on digitalization are considered, their advantages and disadvantages in the organization of advanced training of workers are analyzed. The advantages of the created adaptive training complex for the formation of competencies of a competitive specialist are shown. Results. A methodology for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of using simulators of various levels of digitalization has been developed. It is proposed to use nonstandard tasks reflecting the subject and social contexts of professional activity, as well as the activities of workers in real-life production in fulfilling labor functions in emergency situations as the main tools for assessing competencies. Conclusion. The task of optimizing the costs of retraining personnel for activities in extreme conditions when using various types of training complexes is formulated. The proposed conceptual approaches to the formation and assessment of the level of formation of competencies will optimize the structure of the educational program and make rational use of its material and technical equipment, including and adaptive training complexes and the potential of digitalization, and as a result will increase the competitiveness of workers in the extractive industries and their safety in emergency situations.
