Assessment of general and professional competences formation level by bachelors studying of specialty 101 Ecology

Purpose. To identify the gaps and weak points of the Education-and-professional programme for the Specialty 101 Ecology based on students' self-assessment of the formation of competencies to improve the training of bachelor's degree specialists. Methods. The study is based on a statistically reliable survey among students. Analytical-synthetic method, graphic and logical generalization methods are used. Results. The study compared the level of competencies in students after the third and the forth years of study. The categories "excellent", "good", "satisfactory" and "not mastered" were used for evaluation. It is established that the general competencies of graduates, in contrast to the third-year students are considered to be "good" and "excellent", which was influenced by industrial practice. There are three groups of professional competencies by level of change and general formation. The first group is a block of theoretical competencies that are formed during first three years of study and the level of knowledge in both groups of respondents is almost the same. The second group-competencies are rated by graduated lower than by the third-year students. The reason is the internship, during which students realized the low level of preparation for the practical work. The third one is the competencies that raised self-esteem after the internship. Ways to solve each problem situation are suggested. Conclusions. The formation of general competencies in students of both years fo study is good, except for competencies related to learning a foreign language, which can be changed by increasing motivation to learn languages. Different formation of professional competencies encourages changes in the Education-and-professional programme and the addition of work programs with topics that focus on future professional work, as well as stimulating extracurricular activities.

Features of the formation of general competencies of students through the use of methods for organizing their activities

Preparing young people for the future of work is one of the tasks of paramount importance. Based on the focus of modern education on the formation, in particular, of general competencies, the features of the interaction of the teacher with students in mastering the educational material are pointed out. The solution to the problem of the formation of general competencies of students from the standpoint of the effectiveness of this process is possible when the teacher uses methods for organizing the activities of students that meet certain requirements (criteria for enriching subjective experience).A theoretical analysis of the scientific, pedagogical and methodological literature was carried out, a generalization was made and the systematization of the studied material was carried out, which made it possible to identify the conditions for the successful organization of students’ activities and indicators of the formation of general competencies of future specialists. In connection with the need to develop methodological support for the organization of students’ activities from the standpoint of developing general competencies, a procedure for improving the method of organizing students’ activities chosen for a specific learning situation is presented, which allows the teacher to model new techniques based on a specific goal. On the example of studying educational mathematical problems, it is shown how the procedure for improving the technique chosen by the teacher is carried out. The results obtained can be useful not only for teachers of mathematics, but also for teachers of other academic disciplines, as well as for creating a lecture course for the advanced training program for educators.

Distance learning opportunities in History teaching: ideas, technologies, methods and tools

The modern information society requires from both the teacher and the student the ability to adapt to changing conditions, not just freely navigate the information field, but freely work on any platforms, work in an online format. Distance learning forced us to reconsider the format of material presentation and the format of the survey, required a quick transition from tradition to innovation, the ability to motivate the student who is on the other side of the screen. But at the same time, it was very important not to devastate yourself at online work, not to burn out the teacher himself. This article examines the methods and techniques brought about by the need to introduce distance learning. The possibility of using products developed by senior students — programmers, the formation of general competencies and universal educational actions when working remotely is shown.
