SPECIAL ASPECTS OF TEACHING METHODS OF ACADEMIC SUBJECTS WITH THE HELP OF THE COMPETENCY-BASED APPROACH

Abstract

The paper deals with the possibility of increasing the internal motivation of students under study of non-core academic subjects in technical universities. Exemplified by an enlarged group of majors and program tracks “Technique and Technologies of Shipbuilding and Water Transport”, the author puts emphasis on two universal and general professional competencies necessary for fulfilling certain labor functions of water transport specialists and formed by the academic subject “Physics” in the implementation of basic educational programs. The author associates the tasks of subject mastery with the competencies developed by the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and points at indicators of their demonstration. At the same time, the author focuses on the differences in the requirements of the international professional standard of the crew, presented to different categories of ship specialists. The author shows that each topic, section of the subject “Physics” can be brought into correspondence not only with the competencies of a certain FSES HE, but also with special professional competencies for a specific category of ship personnel. The author affirms that this fact must be taken into account when selecting the content of problematic and project tasks of academic subjects, wording them not notionally, but using specific objects of the students’ future professional activity. The author comes to a conclusion that this approach will show the importance of mastering a specific academic subject for students of a particular major or program track and build their individual educational paths by developing didactic and diagnostic-qualimetric support corresponding to this educational program.
