TRAINING OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED SCIENTIFIC PERSONNEL: WARTIME REALITIES AND PROSPECTS FOR THE POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION OF UKRAINE

Abstract

Problem. Modern training of highly qualified scientific personnel is designed to ensure the proper level of functioning of various aspects of social life. Such training is aimed at transforming education and science into a highly effective factor of social development and economic progress. At this level, conditions are created for the manifestation of various types of social initiatives (including scientific, pedagogical, and managerial). However, it often turns out that there is a «gap» between the available and the desired. Thus, modernization transformations are aimed at overcoming it. At the sectoral level, such transformations may involve changing educational paradigms and taking other necessary measures to improve the current situation. Historically, when the types of society changed, parallel processes took place at the level of content concepts, standards of the level of education, types of communication, and the organization of the management system of education and science. The socio-cultural vector of the development took the form of an integral characteristic of a certain historical period. Its content is quite clearly revealed when we reflect on the question of the timeliness of the current demand of the labor market for the training of certain specialists.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of the functioning of advanced scientific personnel training in contemporary Ukrainian realities.

The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of pedagogical science and reflects the thoroughness of methodological approaches regarding the delineation of the features of advanced scientific personnel training in contemporary Ukrainian realities.

Scientific novelty: it is demonstrated that the system of advanced scientific personnel training should be characterized by multilevel integration of societal, intellectual, and communicative components, which shape certain peculiarities of phenomenological functioning.

Conclusions. The current system of training scientific personnel in terms of the information society actualizes the need for the development and implementation of variable information models and technologies aimed at the systematic improvement of its functioning. The informational and technological vector of training of highly qualified scientific personnel creates the most optimal conditions for mastering a whole range of components of information culture, transitioning to a new level of intellectual-behavioral modeling, and developing the latest information and communication technologies. The need to create the most optimal conditions for the rationalization of the training of highly qualified scientific personnel becomes a real challenge for scientific and pedagogical personnel who are directly related to this process. At the level of the above-mentioned representatives of the staff, the need for system design, and in the future forecasting the trajectory of the development of modern education and science is crystallized. The success of the implementation of the last two tasks is hidden in the need to «formulate» the expected scenario of the most optimal future of our state to rationalize the process of training highly qualified personnel for the successful implementation of professional tasks on the ground. Such a system of training, according to global development trends, should be characterized by an appropriate level of democracy, continuity, flexibility, and relevance.
