The article deals with the training of cadets in educational institutions of The State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia in the field of rescue and fire fighting. For the first time the attention is focused on the problem connected with gradual loss by the final year of professionally-applied skills and physical and psychological qualities which cadets acquire while studying the course "Fire Drill" which forms basic skills of firefighters' work in the first and second years. The purpose of the study was to assess the degree of loss of previously obtained professional and applied skills and development of methods of practical training, allowing to form and maintain throughout the period of training, practical skills, physical and psychological qualities necessary to perform rescue operations and fire fighting. Methods of observation and pedagogical experiment, as well as statistical methods of processing its results were used to solve the research problems. Pedagogical experiment has confirmed the fact of loss of vocational and applied skills by the graduates while performing fire drill regulations which are so necessary for the young officer, the head of the fire rescue guard. To solve the problem of training cadets and reducing the adaptation period of graduates to their professional activity, a new method of practical training is proposed, which allows to form and maintain throughout the training period, practical skills, physical and psychological qualities necessary to perform rescue operations and fire fighting.

Introduction. It is common knowledge that lives and health of people as well as safe operation of various infrastructures depend on the high level of professionalism of the staff responsible for safety. It fully belongs to the personnel structure of the State Fire-Fighting Service (SFFS) of the Emergency Control Ministry (EMERCOM) of Russia. However, in a technologically developed society, there is a contradiction between the increased requirements to young officers’ competencies and the impossibility to achieve a proper complex of graduates’ characteristics by providing education through only standard traditional techniques, which continue to be prevalent in higher education and ensure optimisation of professional activity in general.The aim of the present publication was to present the developed methodology of game-based learning for training of cadets of educational organisations of higher education of the EMERCOM of Russia. The methodology is designed to develop cadets’ practical skills in the field of rescue operations and firefighting.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the research, the methods of system analysis, synthesis and modelling of professional activity were employed. The research is based on the provisions of the associative-reflex theory, the theory of motivation development and the theory of contextual, modular, problem-based, reflexive and game-based learning.Results and scientific novelty. The interrelated elements of the pedagogical theories and didactic principles, united by a common scientific-methodological objective, allowed the authors to create a methodological tool for gradual formation and consolidation of organisational and administrative competencies of young officers of the State Fire-Fighting Service. The authors considered monitoring indicators of the results of training of graduates of Ivanovo Fire and Rescue Academy in order to develop the methodology, which purposefully addresses the shortcomings and gaps of education of future firefighters’ knowledge and their practical skills.The competitive spirit increases positive dynamics of the educational process and contextual content of business games, built on realistic situations from the field of firefighting and implementation of rescue operations at various socioindustrial, housing and transport infrastructures, attract interest of cadets and stimulate their motivation to improvement of own business qualities. The advantages of the offered methodology are the following: the possibility to design various schemes of practical training through the modular principle of their design; the development in cadets of the skills of team interaction, acquisition of professional experience by them in the process of role performance of duties of chiefs of rescue and fire fighting offices and department guards; the readiness formation to quickly adapt to new circumstances and to cope with non-standard problems in the conditions of limited time; to develop the abilities of critical thinking in young officers, to reflect own activity and to define the directions of professional growth.Practical significance. The proposed methodology demonstrated its effectiveness and practical importance for cadets’ training in the field of rescue and firefighting, as confirmed by, inter alia, the improvement of academic performance in special disciplines. The proposed methodological tool has shown promise in more rational redistribution of teaching time and expansion of the base of practical modules for designing business games for the purpose of development of new relevant professional competencies in students.

Due to the transition of higher educational institutions to remote functioning in the spring of 2020 and the impossibility of conducting nursing practice on the basis of medical establishments it became necessary to create a new form of having classes that would allow students to master practical skills without contacting patients. The article presents the author's methodology of remote practical training in class to obtain professional skills and experience of professional activity (nursing) at the medical faculty. The author offers simple methods of making moulages for students to master practical skills and describes the methodology of organizing and conducting distance classes using these moulages. The pedagogical analysis of one of the classes is carried out. It is shown that the new form of conducting classes allows to individualize the work with students and help each student achieve perfection in mastering the methods of nursing manipulations. The method of giving remote classes described by the author can be used by teachers at practical training in the future, in classes on “nursing” at the medical faculty, in institutes of higher nursing education, and after the removal of epidemiological restrictions imposed due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection, for remote counseling of students undergoing nursing practice in medical establishments outside the Saratov region.

The paper features some results of a pilot research on the formation of I-concept of one’s professional identity during practical training and at work. The issues of the I-concept draw attention of modern scientists; however, the problem of I-concept of one’s professional identity remains largely understudied, e.g. its sensitive period of formation, conditions, factors and dynamics, interrelations between the I-concept of one’s professional identity and one’s professional activity, etc. An adequate I-concept plays a special role in the activities connected with extreme conditions, a high degree of responsibility and a brief adaptation period, e.g. public transport. The research involved first thirdand fifth-year students of State Transportation University of the Far East (Khabarovsk) and railroad employees of the corresponding profile. The diagnostic package was shaped according to the theoretically revealed structure of the I-concept. The results confirmed the initial assumption that one’s "I-concept" of the professional identity is rooted in one’s learning and practical training, but its actual formation happens during one’s professional activity. The paper contains some recommendations on I-concept formation in students majoring in transport.

The article deals with topical issues of improving the level of training of cadets of educational institutions of the State Fire Service of the EMERCOM of Russia for professional activities in the field of fire fighting. The application of the implemented disciplinary approach, which assumes a time-dispersed nature of studying various disciplines in the field of fire fighting, does not allow you to get concentrated knowledge, skills and sufficient experience in performing combat operations to extinguish fires, which affects the professional readiness of graduates for practical activities. The purpose of the study is to form a subject-professional approach that will allow, through the optional hours of the main educational program on the basis of previously formed skills and abilities, to implement through training courses concentrated training in the field of fire fighting to improve the professional readiness of graduates. To increase the level of professional readiness of graduates, the author studied the experience of practical training in the field of fire fighting, analyzed the activities of fire and rescue units in extinguishing, studied normative documents and scientific works in the subject area, has developed a subject-professional approach for concentrated training, as well as the subject-matter and content of training courses, has formed an evaluation tool for students. The author proposes to implement a subject-professional approach through the development and implementation of basic, special and additional training courses, for the formation of which modular, competence-based and contextual approaches were used, aimed at maximum professional orientation of training, courses that allow to increase the competence of graduates in the field of fire fighting. The author also proposes to implement the subjects of the training courses through practical classes based on the game forms of training that increase the educational and professional motivation of students. The author concludes that in order to increase the effectiveness and further development of the subject-professional approach, it is necessary to expand the subjects of training courses and improve them, taking into account the changing regulatory framework, the experience of fire and rescue units in fires, the development of fire extinguishing tactics and the introduction of new models of fire equipment and fire-technical equipment.

The article discusses some aspects to be taken into account when preparing polygraph examiners in order to form skills for conducting polygraph tests using search tests related to the method of revealing hidden information. Search tests have their own characteristics and differ from other tests, both in the degree of complexity and the composition of the methodological techniques used, and in the degree of accuracy and reliability of the results obtained. The use of search tests assumes that the polygraph examiner has not only knowledge, but also practical skills to perform a certain sequence of actions for their use, as well as the interpretation of the results obtained. Special attention is paid to the consideration of a number of difficulties that arise when using search tests, directly related to the interpretation of the information received and the development of techniques for the formation of skills for solving them. The authors put the main emphasis on the fact that in the process of training polygraph examiners, self-conducting polygraph tests when solving problems modeled on the basis of situations from practical activities, as well as a detailed consideration of the causes of psychophysiological reactions, will contribute to improving the level of professional competence in decision-making in nonstandard situations. In addition, conducting a detailed analysis of the results obtained, taking into account the interpretation of the recorded reactions when using search tests, will help to reduce the likelihood of making errors of various types in the real conditions of the future polygraph examiner’s professional activity.

The study investigates the current state and defines the methodological foundations for improving the practical training of lawyers in the context of reforming legal education by establishing the features of legal regulation of legal education and its role in the state system, identifying the main problems of modern legal education, as well as analysing foreign experience in practical training of specialists in the field of law. The study uses general scientific and special legal methods of scientific cognition, including comparative legal, philosophical and functional methods, dialectical and formal legal methods of cognition, method of analysis and synthesis. The paper established that the professional training of future specialists in the field of law is currently described by a disparity between the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of law graduates, which complicates their adaptation to practical work. The authors of this study proved that the reform of the legal training system through increasing its practical orientation, determining the state needs of legal personnel of various educational levels, internationalisation of higher education, introduction of new specialisations in accordance with the needs of various spheres of legal practice, should become the basis for the development of legal education in Ukraine. Attention was focused on the need to optimise the system of training legal personnel mainly through the introduction of new teaching methods, the approval of new educational standards, considering the corresponding progressive foreign experience in this field, provided that the accumulated experience, traditions, and principles of Ukrainian higher legal education are preserved, thereby ensuring the development of future specialists with stable practical skills of law enforcement activities. It was found that in the context of the reform of legal education, it is important to establish such requirements for the educational process that would ensure that students master not only a minimum amount of knowledge, but also practical skills because practical training of students is a mandatory component of the educational and professional programme for obtaining an educational degree. In particular, it is necessary to reorient the content and orientation of educational works of applicants for legal education, which should be focused not only on repeating or reproducing theoretical material, but also on solving specially developed practical situations. The issue of increasing the duration of internships and effective cooperation between educational institutions and employers is also important. Improving the effectiveness of training specialists in the field of law through a proportional ratio of theoretical and practical content of the educational process in legal specialities is aimed at modernising the higher legal education model in Ukraine
