ASSESSMENT OF FORMATION OF LABOR PROTECTION COMPETENCES OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARATION IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

Recently, according to the guidelines for the renewal of higher education, a competency-based approach is increasingly used in the training of future specialists. As a result, there is a need to develop and justify effective ways of assessing the levels of formation of professional competence in general and labor protection competence in particular. It is known that the relationship between the level of formation of each component that makes up labor protection competence and its formation as a whole is not linear, and also that the formation of individual components at a high level is not a guarantee of the formation of future specialists at a high level of labor protection competence in general. To solve this problem of assessing the levels of formation of labor protection competence in general and its individual components, the use of fuzzy logic algorithms (Tsukamoto algorithm) is proposed and a mechanism for its practical implementation is presented. A methodology has been developed for diagnosing the labor protection competence of future specialists, which is based on the multidimensional nature of the content of this concept and takes into account the multicomponent nature of its structure (blocks of knowledge, activity and motivation), as well as the results of individual work of students during the study period in the study of labor protection disciplines.

The effectiveness of the proposed methodology was tested in institutions of higher education of a technical, economic and pedagogical profile. Diagnosis of the level of formation of labor protection competence of applicants for the educational level "master" of technical, economic and pedagogical specialties was carried out according to the traditional method and the method proposed by the authors. The conducted experiment confirmed the reliability of the stated theoretical assumptions.

Prospects for further research lie in the development of appropriate software to automate the process of assessing the labor protection competence of future specialists in order to introduce it into the educational process of higher education institutions.
