FUTURE OFFICERS’ TECHNOLOGICAL COMPETENCE AS AN EDUCATIONAL SCIENCE ISSUE

The article defines the technological competence role and place in the general structure of future officers’ military-professional competence. The requirements for training a military specialist who has technological competence have been determined. It has been established that the issue of future officers’ technological competence formation will be effectively solved if the following types of military-professional activities are implemented in the educational process: scientific and research, organizational and management, pedagogical, project and design, and innovation. A list of technological skills is defined for each type of future officer’s activity. It is proved that the typical requirements for future officers’ technological competence are determined by three interrelated components: value-motivational (intended to develop future officers’ value orientations – a complex social and psychological phenomenon that determines the direction and activity of an individual, their actions and behavior, attitude to military-professional activity), cognitive-activity (generalized, dynamic, functional, general technical knowledge, abilities and skills; a system of theoretical knowledge and skills that are at the basis of key (basic, universal) competences; knowing the competence content, which is included in the structure of key competencies) and reflexive-evaluative (presupposes reflective skills that determine the level of development of self-assessment, self-control, and self-regulation, responsibility for the results of one’s activities, the potential for self-realization in the military-professional sphere). Conclusions have been drawn regarding the place and role of technological competence in the structure of future officers’ military-professional competence. This competence has been considered a military specialist’s integrative quality, which is structured by the interrelationship of pedagogical, managerial, project, and social skills and is a determinant of effective military-professional activity.
