CONVERGENCE AS METHODOLOGICAL BASIS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF TRANS-PROFESSIONALISM OF ACTIVITY SUBJECTS

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The need for knowledge, skills, expanding the established functionality of a professional is increasing more and more. That is why young professionals-trans-professionals, who are able to realize themselves not only in one sphere but who are ready to delve into problems of other, absolutely "foreign" for the scientific and technical fields and cooperate effectively with specialists of these areas in one team, will be responsible for creation of new technologies determining the wellness of our country. The article is aimed at the analysis and generalization of foundations of the convergence and identifying its sense-creating content in the development of trans-professionalism as an integral characteristic of the activity subject in a rapidly changing social-professional environment. Methodology: The leading methods in the study of this problem are the theoretical and methodological analysis of the subject and the problem of the research based on the study and logical generalization of scientific literature. Description of the phenomenon of convergence and trans-professionalism was carried out based on multidimensional, transdisciplinary, project and process approaches. Results: The results of the study are content components of trans-professionalism of the activity subject, justification of the convergence theory as a fundamental basis of integration of educational content and new technologies as well as technology foresight of the formation of trans-professionalism of subjects on the basis of convergence. Applications of this study: Materials of the article may be interesting for methodologists, Methodists, and teachers of the continuous professional education system. Novelty/Originality of this study: The components that allow combining the different parameters of the activity subject, showing its qualitative change in the problem field of trans-professionalism, are stated to be the content components of trans-professionalism for activity subjects. The methodology of convergence provides a synergistic effect of the interaction of social-humanitarian and natural sciences. Improving the process of development of trans-professional competencies of activity subjects is associated with the development of new technologies - tools and methods.
