Sharavara V. Formation of tactical-strategic competence of future information technology specialists in the educational environment of a higher education institution

The dissertation is a theoretical and experimental study of the problem of the tactical-strategic competence formation of future specialists in the field of information technology in the educational environment of a higher education institution. The methodological analysis of the research problem prompted the consideration of tactical-strategic competence in the context of three main perspectives: elemental (a set of components, the interaction between which ensures the implementation of the relevant activity); functional (methodology for adopting strategies and tactics) and procedural (technology for developing and implementing strategies and tactics in the current environment). It is established that scientists do not treat the definition of the leading definitions of our research in the same way, describing through the ability, quality, integrative phenomenon, neoplasm, and integrative unity of qualities. At the same time, the main characteristics are distinguished: the ability to determine the purpose of the activity, predict and plan it, effectively choose ways to implement the goal and objectives, etc. The dissertation presents the author’s interpretation of the tactical-strategic competence of future IT specialists. This is a personal integrative formation, which represents the unity of professionally significant qualities, knowledge and skills in the field of information technology, with the help of which specialists formulate a strategic and tactical goal for the development of new ideas in the design and development of software and digital technologies, show a value-motivational attitude to strategic changes and flexibility in behavior, carry out an adequate choice and implementation of strategies and tactics depending on information resources, plan, develop, predict, coordinate, manage and improve professional activities in the field of information technology to ensure its effectiveness. Under the formation of tactical-strategic competence of future specialists in the field of information technology, we understand a managed system process consisting of mental and practical actions that involve mastering the student’s ability to plan their activities in the field of information technology to achieve the goal by the existing value orientations and computer resources, the development and implementation of an individual strategy for future professional activity.
