Technology of Formation of Future Skippers’ Readiness for Ecological Responsibility

Abstract

The introduction to the article analyzes the problem of forming the readiness of future ship drivers. The main purpose of the study is the theoretical justification of the technology of formation of future skippers’ readiness for ecological responsibility. Methods. To achieve this goal, the analysis and synthesis of search results in information systems to determine the basic concepts of the study; methods of expert evaluation, testing, questionnaires, observation, modeling, forecasting have been used. The results. The article defines the essence of the concept of « ecological responsibility» as a moral quality of the future ship driver, formed in the process of professional training, which is manifested in the humane and rational attitude of the individual to the marine and river environment, and implemented in everyday professional activities. It is defined that the structure of ecological responsibility contains motivational, content-operational and evaluation-performance components. The specifics of formation of future skippers’ ecological responsibility in the process of their professional training are determined, on the basis of which the technology is developed as the one containing the following components: target (contains set of the purposes of forming ecological responsibility); semantic (based on humanization, fundamentalization, greening and interdisciplinary unity of natural sciences and humanities, it forms a modern picture of the world in the future skippers’ minds), operational (conditions, forms, methods, means of forming ecological responsibility); diagnostic (methods of determining the level of forming the future skippers’ ecological responsibility in the training process). The formation of future skippers’ ecological responsibility was tested at three levels (high, medium, low) and the following criteria: emotional value, informational, activity. Conclusions. The author concludes that the formation of future ship drivers’ ecological responsibility in the process of professional training is one of the most important components of skippers’ professional training.
