THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION OF PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR FORMING THE PROFESSIONAL READINESS OF FUTURE SAPPERS (DEMINING) UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF INFORMATISATION

Abstract

The essence of innovative approaches in military education lies in the successful combination of new technologies and evolving pedagogical demands under the conditions of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. Information technologies in military education involve innovations in the organisation of education through the use of modern technological tools, primarily computer equipment. It has been generalised that the training of future sappers (deminers), who will daily participate in dangerous missions, must be carried out at the highest level, and the use of modern equipment and information technologies will ensure safer and more effective task performance. To achieve this, training centres should create conditions that combine traditional general military training with innovative virtual reality programmes developed to teach the basics of safe handling of explosive devices and demining skills. The aim of the article is to outline promising directions for the use of information technologies as a tool for forming the professional readiness of future sappers (deminers). The article theoretically substantiates the pedagogical conditions for forming the professional readiness of future sappers (deminers) under the conditions of informatisation: the involvement of teaching (instructor) staff with combat experience; provision of appropriate material and technical resources; improvement of the scientific and methodological support of the educational process; creation of a virtual educational environment for training future sappers (deminers) based on the integration of innovative technologies. It is concluded that the given issue should be considered only as a complex of pedagogical conditions in their interconnection and complementarity.
