FORMATION OF LEADERSHIP QUALITIES OF CADETS IN MODERN CONDITIONS AS A PEDAGOGICAL PROBLEM

Abstract

The article deals with psychological and pedagogical problems in formation of leadership qualities in military education. It is assumed that the origins of this problem are due to the technocratic approach to education in general, originating in the industrial socio-economic structure of the twentieth century. The necessity of transition to a leading paradigm in military education, the development of a holistic psychological and pedagogical concept of military leadership, the search and justification of pedagogical ways of forming leadership qualities of cadets of military universities, scientifically based criteria and indicators of the formation of these qualities is argued. The ways of practical use of well-known approaches to the study of leadership in the pedagogical practice of military education are proposed. The author concludes that it is necessary to lay and form leadership qualities already during the training period through systematic integrated interaction of all structural units of a military university.
