SPECIFICS OF THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF SERGEANT AND ENLISTED PERSONNEL OF THE ENGINEERING TROOPS OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines the educational environment of military education institutions (training centres) that provide professional training for sergeant and enlisted personnel of the engineering troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as an important factor in the comprehensive development of cadets’ personalities. It has been established that the effectiveness and efficiency of personal, professional, and service-combat development of sergeant and enlisted personnel of the engineering troops directly depends on the developmental potential of the educational environment of training centres and on the nature of the interaction between the cadet as an active subject and all components of this environment. The educational environment of training centres (units), in the context of the professional training of sergeant and enlisted personnel of the engineering troops, is considered as a pedagogically organised system of conditions, influences and opportunities that operates within the space of the training centre (unit) and is implemented through specially designed pedagogical technologies that ensure the full integration of cadets into all types of military-professional activity. The studied educational environment is structured as a set of microsystems – certain material and immaterial subsystems of the internal educational environment of the training centres. Within the structure of military education institutions (training centres) that provide professional training for sergeant and enlisted personnel of the engineering troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the following microsystems have been identified: didactic, practice-oriented, digital, health-preserving, social, and educational. Each of these microsystems is based on a structural framework comprising spatial-object (“space of things”), activity-related (“space of actions”), and subject-social (“space of relations”) components of the educational environment.
