PECULIARITIES OF FORMING PROFESSIONAL TERMINOLOGICAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE JUNIOR BACHELORS IN AGROENGINEERING IN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE

Abstract

The article explores the peculiarities of forming professional terminological competence among future junior bachelors in agroengineering within the framework of professional pre-tertiary education. The relevance of the issue is driven by the urgent need of Ukraine’s agro-industrial complex for highly qualified specialists capable of effectively applying specialized terminology in professional activities, particularly in the context of digitalization, the implementation of innovative technologies, and challenges caused by military aggression. The author analyzes the current state of agricultural education, the structure of educational and professional programs, the content of linguistic and professional training of students, and the role of educators in shaping terminological competence. A number of issues are identified, including insufficient integration of terminological training with professional disciplines, variability in the content and scope of language courses, and the lack of unified approaches to assessing the level of competence formation. The article substantiates the need for a systematic, consistent, and purposeful approach to developing terminological competence through the combination of linguistic and professional training, active use of the potential of specialized disciplines, creation of terminological dictionaries, and implementation of innovative teaching methods and technologies. The article offers recommendations for improving educational practice, particularly the unification of the course “Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes”, expanding terminological work within professional subjects, and enhancing the qualifications of teaching staff. The research findings have practical significance for modernizing the content of agricultural education, improving the quality of professional training, and fostering the language culture of future agroengineers.
