Innovative Technologies for the Formation of Safety Competence in Higher Education Students

The article theoretically considers innovative technologies that are currently relevant for the formation of security competence in higher education students of non-technical specialties. The need to identify and implement innovative technologies in the educational process of training future specialists in non-technical fields in higher education institutions is driven by the trends that reflect our present. In addition to mastering professional competencies, the educational process should be aimed at forming security competencies in higher education students. The article emphasizes that in order to organize a modern safe working environment, the priority is to study occupational safety and health issues by future specialists, regardless of industry. It is established that the use of innovative pedagogical technologies in the study of safety disciplines contributes to the expansion of theoretical knowledge and provides an opportunity to model a safe working environment for future professionals.An example of organizing a safe working environment is a higher education institution, where the university administration, management of faculties and structural units, and academic group supervisors demonstrate the relevance of adherence to regulations pertaining to occupational safety and health by conducting various types of briefings, training, and exercises on emergency situations, fire, first aid, etc. In addition to these activities, it is also necessary to emphasize the educational process, namely when obtaining a future profession. The main role for the formation of safety competence in higher education students is assigned to safety disciplines and professional disciplines that provide for the formation of safety components and knowledge, skills and abilities for professional activities in the specialty and the educational program’s development of accountability for individual and group safety.The analysis of the scientific literature on the problem of forming security competence in higher education students of non-technical specialties has led to certain conclusions. All specialists in various fields need to acquire knowledge and develop practical skills in organizing a safe environment for future professional activities. However, given the integration of security disciplines, integrating integrative pedagogy should receive the majority of attention. technologies for the effective formation of security competence in students.
