HUMANITARIAN COMPONENT PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION OF A FUTURE ENGINEER

Abstract

The article is dedicated to issues of humanitarization of vocational education. The methodological foundations of the study of the issues of the humanitarian content of engineering education in the context of interdisciplinarity are considered. The phenomenon of humanitarianism is revealed through the ideas of existentiality, spirituality and the integrity of human existence. The proposed conclusions concerning the principles of constructing and selecting the humanitarian component of the content of professional education of future engineers are made on the basis of an analysis of the existing practice of training specialists in the system of higher professional education, as well as an analysis of the subject, humanitarian-anthropological and cognitive approaches. The article outlines the main directions of research on the issues of professional education of future engineers, taking into account the understanding of the modern educational space. The emphasis is on the experience of metacognitive processes (“thinking about thinking”) as a humanitarian component of the content of professional education of future engineers.
