Possibilities of the trainer in forming the professional competence of a maritime specialist in accordance with the requirements of the PDNV convention

The International Maritime Organization, classification societies and government organizations pay special attention of educational institutions to the quality of training when using marine simulators, as they have a powerful resource for developing the cognitive skills of cadets due to the reproduction of a high degree of reality when simulating the technology of the marine engineer. The article investigates the problem of training a maritime specialist to work in a foreign language environment using simulators in accordance with the requirements of the International Maritime Convention. As a result of studying the issue of simulator training of future specialists within the framework of an integrative contextual approach, it was concluded that the highest level of training for professional activity in a foreign language environment is group training on a simulator, since during the course of communication in the process of solving operational tasks in situations, model engineers practicing real professional activity and the communicative component of the process of interaction of a group of specialists. Foreign language communication is a means of solving professional tasks, so the authors have developed a technology for training maritime specialists for operational adaptation in mixed crew conditions. This technology, from the perspective of the concept of integrative-contextual learning, demonstrates the specifics of using business games on modern simulators in situations of professional foreign language interaction. The role of the subject, social and psychological contexts of a business game on a simulator in the formation of professional competence is revealed, and the results of experimental training are presented. Designing business games on a simulator according to a cycle of special and foreign language disciplines based on models of technological processes in maritime transport involves the development of adequate methodological support by reproducing the subject, socio-cultural and psychological content of the professional activity of a maritime specialist in the technologies of mastering a typical work task
