FOREIGN EXPERIENCE OF THE OPERATION OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITH SPECIFIC TRAINING CONDITIONS AND ITS ADAPTATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines foreign experience of the operation of higher education institutions with specific training conditions and identifies directions of its adaptation in Ukraine. It has been established that the foreign experience of higher education institutions (HEIs) with specific training conditions (military, police, security academies) is based on practical orientation, intensive physical and psychological training, as well as a combination of military discipline with academic freedom. The key aspects of foreign practices of higher education institutions (HEIs) with specific training conditions include: 1) training models (Police and Security), which include practical orientation – in the EU and the USA, training often involves 90% of the time being spent on practical training (tactics, simulations, shooting) and only 10% on theoretical classes; introduction of simulation training technologies – active use of virtual reality (VR) and interactive scenarios for training in stressful situations; psychological resilience – much attention is paid to psychological support and building resilience to prevent professional burnout. It has been established that the international integration of Ukrainian HEIs with specific training conditions is seen in the following: Ukrainian HEIs with specific training conditions (military, police, security academies) should join the European Security and Defense College (ESDC) network, which allows implementing EU standards; the need to study international humanitarian law (IHL) – mandatory and in-depth training on the rules of warfare, protection of civilians and reporting on war crimes; strengthening psychological support for cadets, increasing the share of simulation training methods, further implementation of integrity standards (DCF) in the educational process.
