ФОРМУВАННЯ ПРОФЕСІЙНИХ КОМПЕТЕНЦІЙ МАЙБУТНІХ АГРОІНЖЕНЕРІВ У КОМП’ЮТЕРНО ОРІЄНТОВАНОМУ СЕРЕДОВИЩІ ЗАКЛАДУ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ

Abstract

The article considers the technology of competences acquirement for the higher education applicants of specialty ‘Agricultural engineering’ in the conditions of information and educational environment. There are analyzed the concepts of competency and competences. Thre are considered the general and professional competences of the future agricultural engineers in accordance with the current standards. It is proposed the methods for coding competences and their structural components. There are provided the tools of the information and educational environment, with the help of which it is possible to realize the acquisitions of the competences of future agricultural engineers. To ensure that the system for the competences acquirement for the future agricultural engineers is rational in the conditions of the information and educational environment, there are presented the stages of the technology: the formation of curriculum, the coding of competences, the development of the competence repository. In the context of the information and educational environment, there are presented the tools for obtaining the future agricultural engineers competences, such as interactive lectures on audio-visual support, online lab work with multimedia support, electronic test training simulators; interactive test online control, animated multimedia presentations for practical work; electronic online questionnaire of knowledge control, videoconference for the development of engineering thought, online glossary for applicants of higher education with the aim of mastering engineering terminology from professional disciplines, communicating in a thematic forum to discuss problematic questions and answers to questions from higher education applicants. The authors have presented the scheme for assessing the existing professional competence of future agricultural engineers, which is based on a system of empirical indicators reflecting the level of mastery of competence. It is also presented the calculation of the regression coefficient in the process of obtaining competences in the conditions of the information and educational environment. It is emphasized that the mentioned system is influenced by statistical studies (measurement and analysis - systematization and grouping of statistical data); qualitative and quantitative assessment of the degree of expression of the characteristics of the subjects - assessment of the components of competence and input, current, modular and final control, expert evaluation, solution of design tasks, testing and recording of the regression coefficient in the process of acquiring the competences of future agricultural engineers in the conditions of the information and educational environment. It is given the formula for calculating the regression coefficient, which can take into account the factors that affect the process of entering competences for future agricultural engineers in the context of the information and educational environment.
