FEATURES OF COMPETENCE APPROACH IN DEVELOPING PHYSICAL CULTURE PROGRAMS FOR GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY PROFILE STUDENTS

In modern domestic pedagogy quite a number of different approaches are known that underpin training. Among them there are both well-known and well-established (traditional knowledge-oriented, system, activity, comprehensive, student-centered, student-activity), and new ones (situational, contextual, poly-paradigm, information, ergonomic, etc.). The latter applies to the competence approach. Competence-based approach uses two basic concepts: competence and competency. Until now, the debate continues even on the interpretation of these terms. Most authors appeal to the dictionary. However, even dictionaries characterize these concepts differently and most of them reflecting terminology well-established in some areas, give several meanings of these terms. Thus, competence-based approach focuses on the development of human capabilities to implement certain competences, to teach people to act effectively in a real situation. Competence-based approach has prerequisites from both teaching practice and theory. The goal of the competence-based approach application in vocational education is the formation of a competent specialist. Competences in modern pedagogy of professional education must be seen as a new, market-driven type of goal-setting in educational systems. Competence-based approach driven primarily by new vision of goals and evaluation of vocational education sets its demands to other components of the educational process - the content, teaching techniques, tools of monitoring and assessment. The key here is the design and implementation of teaching technologies, which would create a situation of inclusion of students in different types of activities (communication, problem solving, discussions, debates, projects). Competence-based approach objectively meets social expectations in the education community as a whole and the interests of participants of the educational process. However, this approach contradicts many of the prevailing stereotypes in the education system, the existing assessment criteria for curriculum, teaching, and administrative activities. It is important that all activities related to the implementation of competence-based approach in education are carried out exclusively with the system approach. There are no important and unimportant tasks, for the new long-term content of mass education is its system and applied character. The analysis of state educational standards of the new generation for the Faculty of Geology and Geography grounds the development and use of the pilot program in physical education to form and develop professional competences of students majoring in expeditions and field specialties.
