THE PRINCIPLE OF INTEGRATION IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF MARINE SPECIALISTS

Abstract

With the development of integrated, innovative, and automated ship control systems on modern vessels, maritime professionals are faced with the need to master not only classic navigational skills but also universal knowledge that enables them to work effectively in a digitalized environment and solve interdisciplinary problems. The relevance of this study stems from existing contradictions in the training of specialists, in particular, the insufficient readiness of university graduates to solve integrated professional problems. This requires a revision of educational approaches with the aim of developing interdisciplinary competencies and systems thinking in future specialists. The aim of this article is to examine the professional training of maritime specialists based on the principle of integrating academic disciplines, ensuring the interdisciplinary development of students’ scientific and research competencies. Particular attention is paid to an integrated approach to solving research and scientific-research projects and a description of the implementation technology based on integrated knowledge.
