Експериментальна перевірка моделі формування фахових компетентностей студентів хімічних спеціальностей у системі «коледж – університет»

Abstract

This article presents an experimental study that examines the feasibility of implementing a model for developing professional competencies of students of chemical specialties within the «college–university» system. The study proposes criteria (value–motivational, cognitive, project–activity, integral) and indicators to measure the formation of professional competencies. Various research methods, including pedagogical observation, interviewing, questionnaires, testing, expert evaluation, and professional tests, were used to collect data. The study aimed to compare the levels of formation of professional competencies of students who received a bachelor’s degree in educational and professional programs based on a junior bachelor (specialist) and on the basis of a complete general secondary education. To ensure the reliability of the data, the study relied on the homogeneity of various indicators, such as age of respondents, differentiation by education levels, profile orientation of specialties, and results of professional selection. The research program involved preparatory (analytical–declarative), formative, and final (control–analytical) stages of experimental research. The study shows that the proposed model is a complex, logically structured system of training competent specialists in the field of chemistry. The reliability and objectivity of the research results were verified using statistical methods. The article offers a comparative analysis of the results obtained in the experimental and control groups throughout the entire period of the experimental research. Keywords: continuity, professional competences, model, students of chemical specialties, experimental research.
