The author notes that in the era of globalization, when the separate existence of different people and cultures becomes impossible, when there is a question of combining national values, there is a rethinking of goals and objectives of education and it becomes clear that the current content of education does not sufficiently fulfill the needs of society. New paradigms of education are discussed, and such concepts as multicultural education, culturological approach and intercultural competence are used. According to the National Doctrine of Education Development of Ukraine, the main goal of education is to form a high culture of interethnic relations of future specialist who is ready to intercultural interaction. The multinational society is an integral feature of the modern developing world. The growing awareness of the increasing social confrontation in the world between the growing level of the multinational society where people live and work, and their unpreparedness for these changes have led to the need for proper training. Today, it is important to establish positive relations between people in a multinational society. Professional training is defined as a system of organizational and pedagogical activities. It ensures the formation of a person's professional orientation, knowledge, skills, abilities and readiness for professional activity. Intercultural competence is the ability to recognize, respect and effectively use differences in the perception, thinking and behavior both in your own culture and foreign culture. The formation of intercultural competence in the process of training for professional activity in a multinational society presupposes readiness to interact with other systems of cultural orientation and is based on respect other cultural values.

As knowledge of English becomes a priority for the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a modern military specialist is faced with a number of requirements, one of which is the formation of professionally oriented intercultural competence. Thus, a cadet, who has a certain conceptual and terminological apparatus in his/her specialization, has the opportunity to test his/her own knowledge and skills, to provide self-analysis of the level of formation of both intercultural and subject competences, as well as to receive an impartial feedback from foreign experts on the readiness for professional activity. The article considers the main notions that reveal the conceptual field of intercultural competence. The concepts of "competence", "competency", "culture", "intercultural competence" are defined and their historical-comparative analysis is carried out. It is found, that the professional training of cadets is carried out as a complex pedagogical influence, which has the purpose of developing a number of competences, among which the priority is currently considered to be intercultural competence. The essence of the concept of "competence" and variations of its interpretation by scientists, as well as differentiation with the concept of "competency", are clarified. The role of the humanities in general and the foreign language in particular in the development of professional competences of military specialists is noted. The generic function of the competence approach, which combines many traditional approaches, is mentioned.

It is emphasized that the competence approach is the main direction of renewal of vocational education in the modern world, which provides a position in the educational process, which contributes to the experience of a holistic systemic vision of professional activity, systemic actions in it, solving new problems and tasks. Analysis of the works of leading scientists of today shows a significant interest in the problems of formation and development of professional competence in higher education, the application of the competence approach in the formation of future professionals; characteristics of competence in the education of foreign countries, the emergence and formation of a competency approach. The vector of higher education development makes it possible to identify a range of trends that confirm the transformation and allow to predict certain changes and design appropriate actions. Among them, we focus on those that are a direct indicator of changes in the organization and construction and conduct of the educational process in higher education institutions, in particular in universities: the accumulation of knowledge; gender policy; humanitarian knowledge; use of available resources; development of paradigms; development of scientific activity; development of the world ICT market; ethno-national processes; media globalization; development of the socio-cultural situation in society; innovation and investment activities, etc. This, of course, is not a complete list, but it is these positions that define the broad panorama of approaches that characterize modern university education. Сompetence (competency) is a dynamic combination of knowledge, skills, values ​​and personal qualities that describe the learning outcomes of the educational / curriculum and is the basis of the qualification of the graduate. Competencies are considered as the powers given to a person, the range of official (and other) rights and responsibilities. Thus, when talking about the implementation of the competency approach, we must outline the expected / obtained learning outcomes in accordance with the assigned qualifications.

In particular, the growing need for the development of the pharmaceutical education system and insufficient attention to this sphere at both the State and local levels; imperfection of the regulatory framework for the professional training of specialists in the pharmaceutical industry; lack of foreign experience in professional training of specialists in the pharmaceutical industry. Etiology and interpretation of the concept of «competence» are studied. The lack of a unanimous approach to understanding the concept of «competence approach in education» is defined, various authors’ approaches to its content are explored. The reasons for the relevance of higher education development on the basis of competence orientation are determined. The problematic issues of the competence approach in the process of developing the higher education standards are researched, since pharmaceutical education cannot be separated from the strategic tasks of reforming the content of the educational process in Ukraine. Prospects for further research in this direction are the substantiation of methodological principles and organizational mechanisms for the formation of competence standards as a leading vector in the modernization of higher pharmaceutical education.

The article deals with the directions of professional education development, which are related to the necessity of focusing on the labor market needs, namely the competent direction of future specialists’ training, the implementation of the conceptual provisions for the standardization of professional education. The relevance of the tendency of professional education’s orientation onto the modern labor market is defined in the article. The purpose of the article is to investigate the peculiarities of the professional activity of teachers of modern vocational education and their influence on decision-making processes. The authors of the article have made an attempt to substantiate the analysis of the peculiarities of introducing a competence-oriented approach into education as one of the effective ways of its reformation and improvement. It is identified the cause-effect character of the necessity of designing a common methodology for the formation of the specialist’s competence and the urgent solution of the problem of professional education standardization. The authors have also defined the main contradiction of this process, which is seen in the lack of involving business entities, those are the customers of the future specialists’ training, in the process of creating qualification standards. The authors have noted that nowadays the activity of teachers on standardization of professional education on a competence basis becomes the main direction of the implementation of modernization reforms in education. Therefore, in order to achieve objectivity in the professional training teachers’ decision-making, the authors of the article have proposed to apply ideas and methods of information- extreme intellectual technology. This method of information-extreme intellectual technology (IEI-technology) for data analysis is based on maximizing the information capacity of the system in the machine teaching process, grounded onto the algorithm of the information- analytical system on the adaptation of the graduation department’s study content to the labor market requirements. The authors have made a conclusion that, minding the further development of a model of competency education associated with the transition from the general theoretical understanding of the peculiarities of constructing subject-based educational programs, situational-simulation technologies and control-measuring methods that are adequate to practical implementation with the use of modern information systems, the special attention should be paid to the creation of educational standards, according to which educational programs and educational disciplines’ content will be formed, aimed at a competency rather than on material indicators.

AbstractThe importance of forming intercultural competences and various aspects of the development of an employee’s intellectual activity in today’s multicultural society has been stressed. Urgent problems of cross-cultural training of employees, such as the formation of intercultural (cross-cultural) competence of future employees in the process of their professional training, the necessity of compiling a complete list of intercultural competences, determining the levels of requirements for the competences of bachelors and masters, development of cultural intelligence, improvement and the introduction of methods for the development of cultural intelligence have been analyzed. It has been defined that as the most important part of culture, education is intended to ensure the entry of a man into culture through their acquisition of cultural values. The main approaches to the study of cultural diversity in educational systems have been analyzed. The necessity of training specialists with advanced cultural intelligence that will carry out professional activity in the intercultural educational space has been revealed. Four principles, the implementation of which within the framework of corporate culture allows building “the third culture”, have been highlighted: unity in diversity; integration; cognitive variety; communicative diversity. Three main competencies that reflect the essence of cross-cultural training have been characterized. They are: awareness of social constructiveness of “cultural differences” and the ability to prevent their influence; skills to identify and evaluate cognitive differences which are hidden behind differences of identities; the ability to find and create a “functional interaction” between cognitive differences of employees, which can contribute to the stability of self-regulating integrative organizational systems.
