Based on the research of Russian authors, there are three main components of the competence of environmental safety: cognitive, as a system of environmental knowledge; value-motivational, expressed in the awareness of the importance of preserving the environment and natural resources; activity-practical, manifested in the ability to solve practically arising environmental problems. The main academic subjects are analyzed, during mastering of which the competences necessary for environmental protection in the performance of official duties are developed. An analysis was carried out on the basis of which it was established that the list of competencies formed as a result of mastering a professional educational program in the specialty 56.05.01 Logistics does not include the competence of environmental safety. Educational disciplines have been established, the study of which contributes to the formation of a worldview, knowledge, abilities, skills, experience to ensure environmental safety.

ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY COMPETENCES IN CADETS OF THE FACULTY OF LOGISTICS // Pedagogical Review. 2022. Issue 2 (42). P. 105-113

Ensuring environmental safety is one of the highest priority tasks facing modern society. The growing negative human impact on the natural environment, including as a result of the activities of the Armed Forces, other troops, military formations and bodies, has a destructive effect on the environment, causing changes in the ecological balance of nature. It is possible to significantly change the current situation as a result of the development of science, socialization of the individual, upbringing and education. The modern system of higher education makes new demands on the personal qualities of future leaders of all levels: open-mindedness, interest in innovations, a high level of creativity, the ability to take responsibility in difficult professional situations. In this regard, the issue of the formation of the competence of environmental safety among the cadets of the logistics faculty is especially acute. Theoretical studies have been carried out to assess the formation of competencies in a higher educational institution. The opinions of various researchers in the examination of educational results and the formation of assessment complexes in the practice of modern higher education are considered. Based on the study and analysis, the most significant approaches for assessing the competence of environmental safety have been determined. The descriptors of the cognitive, value-motivational and activity-practical components of the competence of environmental safety are highlighted. A description of the levels of formation of the competence of environmental safety has been prepared. Thus, in the rapidly changing modern world, the constant improvement of new approaches to defining goals, results, and, consequently, criteria for assessing the quality of higher professional education will be the key to training a logistics officer competent in environmental safety, who meets the requirements of all interested parties.
