Methodological Approaches in Training Specialists of Professional Education of Motor Transport Profile for Teaching Road Safety

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the dynamism of changes in all areas of activity, including the automotive industry. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the main ways of providing professional education in the field of motor transport, considering the current needs of the digital society. Among the methodological techniques used, theoretical and functional approaches, logical analysis, synthesis, deduction, and comparative methods are notable. In the course of the study, it is determined that now the intensity of the educational process and the activation of cognitive activity require new forms of training from future specialists, which provide an opportunity to learn a lot of material in a short period of time. It is proved that the need for new productive approaches to learning is due to the fact that today the amount of information and knowledge that students should possess has increased. The main reasons leading to an insufficient level of road safety in Ukraine in comparison with the countries of the European Union are highlighted. An important aspect of the work conducted is the identification of the main ways and methods to improve this indicator, primarily during the training of specialists in the professional education of the motor transport profile for teaching road safety. The main problems of training future specialists of this profile are investigated, in particular, the competence indicator is analysed. The use of modern innovative tools in the process of training future specialists is considered to overcome certain negative aspects. Features and prospects of digitalisation of the educational process are considered. The practical value of the results obtained lies in the fact that they provide an opportunity to improve the quality of knowledge provided in specialised disciplines and change the training system for higher education applicants in Ukraine
