THEORETICAL SUBSTANTIATION OF PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMPETENCE IN FUTURE PSYCHOLOGISTS

Abstract

The article provides a theoretical substantiation of pedagogical conditions for the formation of organizational competence in future psychologists within the process of professional training at a higher education institution. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing requirements for psychologists’ professional activity under conditions of social transformation and the need to ensure a high level of professional readiness, particularly the ability to effectively organize one’s own activity and professional interaction. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, the content of the concepts “organizational competence” and “pedagogical conditions” has been clarified. Organizational competence is defined as an integral personal characteristic that combines knowledge, skills, abilities, value orientations, and professionally significant qualities necessary for effective organization of activity and professional cooperation. Three interrelated pedagogical conditions are substantiated: tutor support for the formation of organizational competence, modeling of psychologists’ professional activity through simulation-based learning methods, and implementation of an author-designed training program. It is proved that tutor support ensures individualization of the educational process and promotes the development of self-organization, reflection, and self-regulation. Modeling of professional situations facilitates the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical experience and contributes to the development of planning, coordination, and decision-making skills under conditions of uncertainty. The author-designed training is considered as an interactive technology that enhances organizational skills, motivation, communicative competence, and responsibility. It is concluded that the integrated implementation of the identified pedagogical conditions creates a holistic educational environment aimed at developing future psychologists’ readiness for effective organizational activity and professional self-realization.
