Cultural and regional scientific approach to training specialists in universities

Oksana Snihovska Liubov Kravchenko

The article highlights the contradictions in vocational and higher education and emphasizes the need to modernize the methodological, theoretical, and methodological tools of the cultural studies scientific approach as a factor in shaping the integrity of the personal and professional culture of future specialists by incorporating the universal aspects and potential of regional studies into this process. The need to deepen the worldview nature of cultural studies knowledge and practices has been identified through aspects of awareness of the spiritual forms of human activity, natural knowledge and technologies of the subject environment, socio-economic institutions of society, as well as everyday culture and tools for the formation of professional experience in the relevant artistic, cultural, or technological sphere. The potential of concepts and theories of regional studies (dynamic regionality, cultural identity, cultural hybridization, glocalization) in the training of specialists of modern generations has been proven. Based on a cultural and regional scientific approach, the common features and differences between domestic (national) and international (global) regional studies are outlined; the author's research materials (the «competence triangle» model for specialists, integrative tables for establishing the interdependencies of aspects and factors of professional training) are proposed in accordance with the criterion of «regional responsibility» in the cognitive, value, and praxeological dimensions of competence. A conclusion is made regarding the importance of a cultural-regional scientific approach to avoid a gap between the local and global vision of the results of training specialists for international and national contexts
