Keyword: «competence model of a higher school graduate»

The relevance of the problem is due to the following factors. Structural and substantive reform of military education, the transition to training according to the new state educational standards require the development of fundamentally new mechanisms, organizational, methodological, scientific and information support of the educational process, the development and implementation of adequate training technologies. The relevance of the topic of this study is due to the specific features of training in a military higher school and a new paradigm of military education, which provides for a shift in emphasis in the educational process towards the development of personal abilities of the officer, his command qualities, professional competences. Optimization of the military education system, implementation of the competence approach to training future officers, necessitated the development of fundamentally new mechanisms to ensure the educational process of the military higher school, aimed at its activation. There are new higher requirements for graduates of military higher schools. Purpose of the work: to study the theoretical and practical development of modern technologies for the formation of professional competences in military higher school in the process of teaching physics. Leading approaches to the study of the problem: competence approach, activity-oriented approach, system approach, personality-oriented approach. The main results of the article: differentiation of semantically close terms "competence" and "competency", definition of their content and structural components; definition of professional competence and its specificity applicable to graduates of military higher schools; identification of effective pedagogical modern technologies of professional competences formation in military higher school in the process of teaching physics. The theoretical significance of the article is in the systematization and generalization of the available data concerning the problem of professional competences formation among military higher school cadets in the process of learning physics. The practical significance of the article is due to the fact that the literature review will be the basis for planning and further empirical research of the professional competences of military higher school cadets.
