SYNERGETIC APPROACH TO TEACHING HISTORY TO MARINE COLLEGE STUDENTS: THE INFLUENCE OF CRITICAL THINKING ON DECISION-MAKING

Abstract

In accordance with Russia’s dynamic development strategy, there is no doubt about the relevance of the issue of the unity of self-organization and management. The modern world requires highly qualified specialists who possess not only in-depth knowledge in their professional field, but also the ability to quickly adapt to various conditions, make prompt decisions in both routine and emergency situations, think critically, and analyze their own actions. In these circumstances, the organization of the learning process based on a synergistic approach as a field of pedagogical knowledge that combines multifactorial processes of education and self-education, upbringing and self-upbringing, based on the laws of self-organization and self-development of the student’s personality, appears to be particularly effective. By analyzing the scientific directions of the synergistic approach in pedagogy, the authors of this study reveal the specifics of the educational process in secondary vocational education institutions, which lies in the need to organically integrate components related to the future specialty into the content of basic subjects. The authors propose ways to form professional competencies through general education subjects, using the example of teaching history.
