Abstract

Basing on the assumption that the basic foundations of the natural science knowledge which should be developed in the process of mastering the disciplines of the educational program should be laid for the successful formation of General professional and universal competencies of future specialists in the field of aquaculture, the research goal was chosen: to study the degree of formation of the natural science knowledge among students of the specialty "Water bioresources and aquaculture”. In the written survey took part future specialists in the field of aquaculture of the first year of study (N0=60) and fourth-year students (N1=38). For statistical assessment of the results were used Fisher's φ-test and Student's t-test (p ≤ 0.01). The results showed that there were no significant differences between basic knowledge in the field of natural Sciences for the 1st-yaer and 4th-year students. The significant differences were identified in students' definition of the difference between natural science and parascientific fields of knowledge, but the best result was shown by 1st-year students. It can be concluded that pedagogical technologies used for the formation of General professional and universal competencies need to be modernized, and further research and development of new methodological approaches to teaching disciplines related to basic natural science knowledge will be promising.

Highlights

Digital economy dictates new requirements for the rates of learning of information and for quality of its processing by specialists.The transition to competence approach in high professional education highlighted the problem of competence formation methodology and the problem of assessment of its formation
For questions number 3 and 4,the value of the Fischer’s F-test demonstrated that there was a significant difference in knowledge levels by 1st-yaer and 4th-year students and the average score showed that1styaer students had better results
The extremely low average score received by 4th-year students for questions related to the basic course of physics, matter and its properties indicates that there is no information support for these fundamental concepts, the law of conservation of matter and energy is the basic concept for a number of topics related to the biochemistry of energy exchange, nutrition physiology, the basics of feeding and feed production

Summary

Introduction

Digital economy dictates new requirements for the rates of learning of information and for quality of its processing by specialists.The transition to competence approach in high professional education highlighted the problem of competence formation methodology and the problem of assessment of its formation. In particular training of specialists in aquaculture area supposes them to be in possession of a large number of information in digital technology’s area, which are based on fundamental natural science provision. It can be suggested that it is supposed to achieve the formation of complex natural science knowledge during the secondary education’s process. The most significant educational feature should become an opportunity to adapt educational methods to implementation in the basis of the educating course the information which constantly expands the scope of longstanding natural science knowledge. The mastering of common competencies in the current formulation is not enough for this type of activity
