Abstract

Introduction. In educational institutions of law enforcement agencies, the presence of feedback from cadets and an understanding of their attitude to the educational process is relevant in connection with the implementation of various types of educational and service-professional activities. Educational, patriotic and educational, research and service and professional activities are carried out continuously. The purpose of this article is to study the attitude of cadets and teachers to the educational process at the University of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and taking into account the information received, to determine priority areas for improving the quality of the educational process and the readiness of graduates for professional activity. It is of interest how adequately the teaching staff of the departmental university of the Ministry of Emergency Situations assesses the attitude of cadets to various types of training sessions and other types of educational and service-professional activities.Materials and Methods. To achieve the goals of the research, the methods of interviewing, questionnaire survey, and conversation were used, which allow, through multiple choice, to obtain objective results from the respondents on the  issues included in the study area. The methodology is implemented by means of a questionnaire survey in the digital format of the Fire Test program, which allows automated surveys of registered persons. With the help of statistical data processing tools, the information obtained has been systematized, analyzed and generalized, on the basis of which reliable research results are presented and conclusions are drawn.Results. According to the results of the questionnaire survey, it was revealed that the attitude of the teaching staff to the educational process and the attitudes of cadets to various types of training sessions and other types of educational and service-professional activities do not always correspond to each other. The attitude of teachers to various types of training corresponds to the attitude of cadets to practical classes, but differs in relation to lectures, seminars and independent work. The obtained comparative results indicate a generally positive assessment, both on the part of the trainees and on the part of the teaching staff, of practical classes. At the same time, teachers underestimate the importance of lectures and independent work, which are highly appreciated by students, and demonstrate a reassessment of seminars and extracurricular activities for students who have a positive perception of these types of classes is not so high. The implementation of the presented activities, which teachers consider to be a priority, allows to increase the effectiveness of training sessions and form a positive attitude of cadets to them.Discussion and Conclusions. The results of the study at the University of the Ministry of Emergency Situations made it possible to assess the degree of mutual understanding between the subjects of the educational process and to identify priority areas for improving the quality of training sessions and forming the cadets’ positive attitude to these courses.
