Abstract

Introduction.The article contains: analysis of scientific works in the field of higher education pedagogy on the formation of universal competencies; an experimental study to assess the formation of universal competencies in future bachelors. The modern professional pedagogical community constantly demonstrates that the presence of universal competencies is decisive for graduates of higher education. At the moment, there is no clear idea of the formation and assessment of universal competencies, in particular for bachelors of physical education.Materials and Methods.We have developed materials for evaluation the future bachelors of universal competencies and conducted an experimental study. For each of the universal competencies, the average value of the assessment, the standard deviation, the confidence interval for the average assessment are determined, the results of the correlation analysis are presented.Results.The data we obtained showed, that the average values of assessments by future bachelors of the direction of training "Physical culture" of universal competencies (the ability to: maintain the proper level of physical fitness to ensure full social and professional activity; search, critical analysis and synthesis of information, apply a systematic approach to solve the tasks; build an individual trajectory of self-development; perceive the intercultural diversity of society; formulate a range of tasks, achieve goals, choosing the best solutions; the ability to conduct business communication in a foreign language) are within 2.97 points - 3.86 points on a 5-point scale.Discussion and Conclusions.Our study shows that the level of formation of the universal competencies of students of the program 49.03.01 “Physical Education” is insufficient. The formation of universal competencies is possible not only in the educational process, but also in scientific research, industrial practices, as part of extracurricular activities. The formation of universal competencies for future bachelors in the educational process of higher education will help to increase the level of knowledge, skills and experience of creative activity in the professional field: search and critical analysis of information; the ability to set goals and determine the range of tasks; communicate effectively in the teamwork, not only with Russian, but also with foreign colleagues; managing time and shaping individual development path; maintain the necessary level of physical activity to achieve professional and social goals. The results of the assessment of the formation of universal competencies of future bachelors are considered by us as an opportunity to improve the modern basic educational program.
