Essential aspects of the process of developing intelligence of future officers in the conditions of a military university

Background.The development of the intelligence of a future officer in the educational environment of a military educational institution of higher education presupposes, among other things, the appropriate organization of the pedagogical process. This is necessary to achieve the desired results of training, education and development of personality traits of a cadet. To achieve the effective construction of the specified pedagogical process, it is necessary: firstly, not to overload the cadet with educational and educational activities, since the process of obtaining education in a military university is already quite intense; secondly, to use the potential of the educational subjects and educational events already built into the pedagogical process in the development of the intelligence of future officers; thirdly, to organically integrate author's developments (program, courses, conditions) into the pedagogical process in order to solve problems of developing the intelligence of the future officer. Thepurpose of the study is to identify some of the characteristics and features of the organization of the process of developing the intelligence of future officers in a military educational organization. Materials and methods.In preparing and conducting the study, the methodological principles of a systematic, activity and subjective approach were applied. These approaches in this study perform organizational, epistemological, explanatory-content, structural-logical and prognostic functions. Within the framework of these approaches, various types of analysis and synthesis (systemic and functional, conceptual and structural-component), analogy and comparison, abstraction, hypothetical-deductive method are applied. Results.The paper presents theoretical, active and practical foundations for constructing the process of developing the intelligence of a future officer as a psychological quality. This occurs in the process of intellectual and emotional interaction with a teacher, experienced as a personal challenge and path. This is carried out through classes, research activities, since generalization and creation of new knowledge in the process of research presupposes an equal desire for this of intellectual, communicative and volitional personal structures. Organizationally, this is ensured by providing an appropriate amount of academic freedom. The introduction of training courses is carried out together with the organization of extracurricular activities of cadets, when the training process is supplemented by educational activities and various forms of independent work. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of constructing a system of activities aimed at developing the intelligence of future officers according to the approach proposed by the authors in the article. Also, the results of the research obtained in the subject field of educational psychology can be implemented in the planning, organization and implementation of educational activities with cadets of military universities, and also used in advanced training courses (in organizing command training with officers) and in military-political information of personnel.
