METHODOLOGICAL MODEL OF FORMING THE FOREIGN-LANGUAGE COMPONENT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES IN THE INTEGRAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF A MARITIME UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article addresses a problem of forming the foreign‑language component of professional competencies of maritime specialists in the integral educational environment of a maritime university. As the methodological basis, the study employs system‑activity, competence‑based, synergetic and integrative‑context approaches, as well as pedagogical modelling of the integral educational environment and technological solutions. A methodological model is substantiated and developed that reflects the logic of forming the foreign‑language component in unity with the development of cadets’ professional self‑organization skills. A technology for forming the foreign‑language component is described; it includes a system of stages, algorithms, scenarios, tools, implementation mechanisms and accompanying digital infrastructure (online support courses, simulator training, use of AI‑based test design tools for monitoring). It is shown that the complex of general professional disciplines taught in the maritime university in English serves as a space for implementing the integrative idea of professional education, in which the relationship between language and professional content and interdisciplinary links are manifested in a holistic way. The results of the study indicate the potential of the developed model and technology to enhance the effectiveness of cadets’ educational and professional activities. Prospects for further development of the technology are outlined in the direction of expanding the empirical base, refining the pedagogical conditions for integrating artificial intelligence tools and disseminating the approach to other maritime universities.
