FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC EXPERIENCE IN SYSTEMATIZING KEY COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN THE SOCIO-CULTURAL SPHERE

In the context of modern cultural and educational processes of ensuring the quality of vocational education, the article highlights the advanced achievements of foreign and domestic experience in systematizing the key competencies of future specialists in the socio-cultural sphere in educational institutions of pre-professional education. The leading examples of such systematization by scientists from European countries (Germany, Austria, Finland, Belgium, etc.), international experts of the Organization for European Cooperation and Development, the Council of Europe are characterized. It has been found that foreign scientists and organizers of vocational education provide recommendations for the qualification of professional competencies on the basis of common (key) knowledge, skills, values, and work experience for all specialties; such key competencies include: educational and cognitive, general cultural, informational, communicative, social and labor, uniting them by a common understanding of the totality of personal qualities (abilities, skills, abilities) due to experience in a particular socially significant area. Domestic scientists are expanding these approaches in professional (pre-professional, initial professional) education by focusing on the training of generalists capable of carrying out professional activities based on the integration of several specialties and professions. This is facilitated by the appropriate systematization of key (general) competencies, which include cognitive, social, communicative, informational, and special competencies. Prospects for the study include the identification of a system of key competencies for specialists trained in colleges of culture and arts.
