Formation of Research Competence of Future Navy Officers in the Course of Their Professional Training

Abstract

The model of formation of research competence of future Navy officers is presented in unity of purpose, methodological, technological, diagnostic blocks, pedagogical conditions and result. The formation of the research competence of future officers involved the gradual realization of tasks at the initial, preparatory and conditionally professional stages. The technological block of the model on the basis of taking into account the peculiarities of the research activities of future Navy officers, and the formation of cadets of executive and research capabilities consistently reflects the content (academic disciplines, special course), forms (lecture, seminar-discussion) , practice, circle, individual consultation), methods that shape the scientific outlook of future officers and exchange information (conversation, debate); methods that organize the research activities of future officers and stimulate its motives (search, research (experience, observation, research), game, project, case-method); a method that helps future officers reflect on their research activities (individual conversation) and tools (research assignments, educational resources, feedback tools). The diagnostic unit describes the criteria, indicators and levels of research competence of future Navy officers.

Based on the comparison of the obtained results, their quantitative statistical and qualitative analysis, it was revealed that the implementation of the model of formation of research competence of future Navy officers in the process of professional training led to significant statistically significant changes in the levels of its development in the cadets of the experimental group.

The generalization of the obtained results confirmed the achievement of the goal of the dissertation research, the fulfillment of its tasks and the reliability of the experimental results at the significance level of 0.05.
