PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF PETROLEUM ENGINEERS IN LIFELONG EDUCATION
Abstract
The article deals with the urgent issues of the development of lifelong professional education, state policy implementation directed to the petroleum engineers’ training. The essence, content and structure of future engineers professional training with the aim of formation professional competence are highlighted in this article. The features of cognitive and practical activities of future experts in petroleum industry are revealed. The constituents and conditions for increasing the efficiency of forming the professional competence of a petroleum engineer and his willingness are defined. The impact of globalization challenges to ensure qualitative training of future petroleum engineers to meet requirements and needs of national and regional labour markets is analysed. A great attention is given to the importance of prediction of lifelong professional education development, strengthening of forecast scientific research function. The specific features of forming the content of training and the application of innovative and advanced pedagogical technologies are identified. The interaction of economic, scientific and technical factors being considered in training experts for petroleum industry is outlined. In order to estimate efficiency of this training interdisciplinarity is essential. The necessity of using interdisciplinary educational technologies in the professional training of future petroleum specialists is substantiated. The significance of interdisciplinarity in education under the condition of sharp growth in information activity and the increased role of intellectual property items in modern economy are shown. It has been found that interdisciplinarity of petroleum education is based on the network interrelations of the studied disciplines. The goal, content, and trends in interdisciplinarity of petroleum education are presented in the system of petroleum training. The study has confirmed that interdisciplinary intergrity in petroleum industry boosts the development of international collaboration and intercultural cooperation.
Key words: lifelong petroleum education; an engineer of petroleum industry; professional education and training, qualification, the internationalization of knowledge; state educational policy; labour market; forecast; practice; technologies; upgrading.
