TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF MILITARY-SPECIAL COMPETENCIES OF RESERVE OFFICERS UNDER CONDITIONS OF INTENSIVE RETRAINING IN HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

Summary. The article substantiates a technological approach to the formation of military-special competencies of reserve officers under conditions of intensive retraining in higher military educational institutions. The relevance of the study is determined by the need of the security and defence sector of Ukraine for a trained military reserve capable of performing service and combat tasks in conditions of uncertainty, limited time, rapid changes in the operational and tactical situation, and high intensity of combat operations.

The article clarifies the essence of military-special competencies of reserve officers as an integrated result of professional military training, which combines military-theoretical knowledge, practical skills, the ability to command a unit, analyse the combat situation, make decisions, organize interaction, use weapons and military equipment, and perform service and combat functions responsibly. It is proved that intensive retraining in higher military educational institutions should not be reduced to a shortened presentation of educational material. It requires a specially designed pedagogical technology that ensures diagnostics of the initial level of trainees, selection of practice-oriented content, application of active teaching methods, modelling of service and combat situations, monitoring of learning outcomes, reflection and correction of the educational process.

The proposed technological logic includes target-diagnostic, content-intensive, practice-modelling, control-reflective and analytical-corrective stages. It is emphasized that the effectiveness of this technology depends on the connection between the content of retraining and real military practice, the use of the experience of the Russian-Ukrainian war, tactical tasks, case studies, group work, decision-making exercises, after-action review and a system of formative assessment.
