STUDENT MOTIVATION AS A PEDAGOGICAL CONDITION FOR THE FORMATION OF DIGITAL COMPETENCE IN MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAMMES

The article examines the problem of developing digital competence among future Master’s in Tourism. It establishes the need to identify pedagogical conditions as a factor in ensuring the quality of the educational process. This study aims to provide a theoretical justification for encouraging students as a pedagogical condition for developing digital competence in master's degree programs. During the study, a set of general scientific theoretical methods was employed, including analysis, synthesis, systematization, and generalization of data from scientific, methodological, and specialized literature. The first pedagogical condition for the formation of digital competence of future Master’s in Tourism is determined to be the encouragement of students to form digital competence in the context of master's training. The essence of this condition lies in creating positive, purposeful motivation and the need to acquire the appropriate level of digital competence for future Master’s in Tourism. It has been found that the effective implementation of pedagogical conditions requires the organization, form, and content of this process to be streamlined. The structuring of the first pedagogical condition for the formation of digital competence of future Master’s in Tourism is presented as a holistic system of organic synthesis of content-information (goals, objectives, content essence, tasks, and expected results) and procedural-methodological (generalization of the system of actions and methods of practical implementation of pedagogical conditions) elements. The provisions of scientific and methodological support for a specific pedagogical condition are substantiated on the basis of the implementation of personality-oriented, activity-based, and competence-based approaches in the formation of digital competence of future Master’s in Tourism. The expected result of the implementation of the substantiated pedagogical condition of encouraging students to develop digital competence in the context of master's training is seen in the achievement of high levels of value-motivational criteria in the development of the axiological component of digital competence of future Master’s in Tourism.
