Abstract
The article presents the basic approaches to structuring the professional competence of engineerspedagogues
of the motor transport sphere. The author presents her own vision of the structure of professional
competence as a complex unity of interconnected components. An attempt is made to optimize the
components of professional competence of engineers-pedagogues of the motor transport field. The
components (technical, technological, methodological, psychological-pedagogical, special-subject,
intellectual-cognitive, communicative, logistic, economic) are characterized, which allows ensuring a
successful result and to provide engineers-pedagogues of the motor transport sphere with a high level of
knowledge and skills.
The article distinguishes motivational-value, gnostic-activity and personality-reflexive criteria of
professional competence of engineers-pedagogues in the field of motor transport, and determines the levels
of professional competence of engineers-pedagogues in the field of motor transport, namely initial
(reconstructive), sufficient (variational), and high (creative).
The papers highlights pedagogical conditions for the development of professional competence of
engineers-pedagogues, such as updating the content of advanced training and internship, participating in
workshops and professional trainings, improving methodological competence, mastering information and
telecommunication technologies, participating in conferences and scientific activities.
Special attention is paid to the stages of the development of professional competence of engineerspedagogues
in the field of motor transport, which are implemented at institutions of advanced training and
postgraduate education, educational-methodological offices (centers), vocational education institutions
specializing in motor transport, in the process of self-education, at enterprises.
The author suggests a newly designed model for the development of professional competence of
engineers-pedagogues in the process of advanced training.
The proposed model for the development of professional competence of engineers-pedagogues of the
motor transport field in the process of advanced training can be applied in the system of postgraduate
pedagogical education.
