Abstract

Information warfare is a challenge of modern society, concealing a huge destructive potential, which is no longer possible to ignore. The purpose of this research is to show the need, relevance and prospects for the study of the pedagogical aspects of the multifaceted, multi-level interdisciplinary problem of information warfare, which remains insufficiently developed and requires close attention of educational researchers. Among the spectrum of pedagogical aspects, we consider educational ones related to the formation of the readiness of military universities’ cadets for information warfare; use axiological, personality-active and hermeneutic methodological approaches and the principles corresponding to them. The presented results have scientific novelty, since they reveal the possibilities of improving the professional training of future officers of the Russian Army through the formation of their readiness for information warfare, these especially relevant and significant possibilities are not reflected in Russian psychological and pedagogical literature. We specify the key concepts necessary to study the role of education in the formation of the readiness of military universities’ cadets for informational warfare, shows methodological approaches and principles of the research, present a brief description of the technology of cadets' education, the implementation of which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of formation of such readiness. The practical significance of the research of the mentioned problem’s aspects and its results is determined by the opportunities that open up by the implementation of the educational technology for forming cadets' readiness for modern information warfare. Prospects for further research of the problem are associated, among other things, with the development of the pedagogical aspects related to the formation of an integral personality of a future officer in the educational process of military universities, and with the study of the readiness of military personnel for informational warfare as an interdisciplinary problem.
