In modern pedagogy not so long ago, a new and resounding term - competence approach in teaching .What is meant by it?
First we need to consider what is meant by the word "approach"?This term is often used is equivalent to the word "method".But, nevertheless, it has a greater understanding.The approach implies a whole set of interrelated ideas, principles and methods that contribute to the solution of a specific task.It plays an important role understanding of the socio-economic, philosophical and psycho-pedagogical assumptions.It should be clearly worked out the steps and mechanisms to ensure the implementation of the goals.
in teaching practice widely known, many time-tested approaches and methods.These include traditional approaches that focus on getting a strong knowledge of their system, the personal orientation of students and complex relationship of these approaches. Competence approach refers to modern development that went into the teaching practice in the late twentieth century.These are situational, and some other information.They have not yet reached their completion and have not received a full scientific justification.Although finding enough wide recognition.
Competence approach first originated in the 80s of the last century.In the beginning, it was the competence of the individual and of the competencies that were to be the aim and result of education.It is understood as "deepening of knowledge", "skills development" and "the ability to use the skills."But later the concept is more extended, and is now in pedagogy are already talking about a holistic approach to this type of education.
Let's take a closer look competence approach in modern vocational education, its purpose and content.It is not a tribute to the latest fashion, but a reality due to the socio-economic and educational prerequisites for the last few years, when themselves in full voice declared market economy.Now the modern specialist imposed completely different requirements, which were not included in the old program for the training of specialists.These requirements are not strictly linked to any particular discipline.They are characterized by flexibility, "nadpredmetny" nature of the knowledge gained.For their formation is required, rather, a new educational technology than the new program.Such requirements in a literature called "nadprofessionalnymi" basic qualifications in the other - the key competencies.
Core competencies can be very different.They put forward by life itself.It can be "through" skills: computer work, the ability to search for information, knowledge of the basic concepts of economics and business, understanding the environment, knowledge of foreign languages, basics of legal knowledge and skills in the field of marketing.These include business skills, knowledge of health and medical aspects.
These core competencies comprise, conventionally, the first of the two areas, which are allocated competence approach .It is seen as raising the personal qualities of specialists needed to work in a number of different professions.
Another trend implies professional skills with a wide property transfer.In both cases, these competencies must meet two basic criteria, such as generalized and functionality.
Competence approach in higher education involves formation of specialists is mandatory:

in last place, and is the property of human nature as self-awareness and self-esteem.
