Abstract

Environmental pollution has actualized the search for effective technologies for environmental protection, which requires ecologists with an updated professional component to be implemented, accelerated the dynamics of the educational process, and led to a constant search for methods and means of forming distinct competencies – the components of the training of future environmentalists. According to the Bologna Declaration, the formation of research competence as an important component of professional competence is the deciding feature of the educational process for the preparation of future ecologists. An important task is to develop an appropriate diagnostic toolkit to determine the level of development of research competence through a specific indicator. The article establishes the essence of the definition of "integral indicator", presents pilot studies to determine the list of components of the integral indicator of research competence of future environmentalists. The diagnostics of the level of formation of the research competence of students-ecologists for the given integral indicator in separate educational institutions of the ecological direction has been carried out. The directions of further work on specification of the list and experimental verification of the components and integral indicators, presented in this article for estimation of the level of formation of research competence in the process of professional training of environmental specialists are determined.

Highlights

  • The increased level of pollution of the environment by the mankind has actualized the search for effective technologies of its protection, which high quality realization needs ecologists with a professional competence, updated, according to modern requirements

  • The indicated social phenomena accelerated the dynamics of the educational process, caused the search for methods and means for the professional training of future ecologists, urgent for today

  • Scientists and educational institutions continually work for specifying the list of competences, that must be mastered by a future ecologist, that help him/her to solve production tasks with dignity in future

Summary

Introduction

The increased level of pollution of the environment by the mankind has actualized the search for effective technologies of its protection, which high quality realization needs ecologists with a professional competence, updated, according to modern requirements. – informatics [1]; – technologies [2]; – economics [3]; – mathematics [4]; – chemistry [5]; – social pedagogy [6] and so on These works elucidate peculiarities of different models of the research competence formation, study pedagogical conditions, determine criteria, their indicators and formation levels of this quality of future specialists. Scientists, who study the problem of the competence approach in education, pay attention to the complicacy of the competences diagnostics In separate cases this task was solved by elaborating an integral indicator that gives a possibility to determine the research competence formation level. A generalized indicator, obtained as a result of its processing, can be used for solving problems of recognition images and automatic classification of objects [12] This approach was used at constructing an integral indicator for realizing of students-ecologists by research competence formation levels.
