The documentary competence of a philologist in the modern educational paradigm

The article is devoted to the issues of the place and importance of documentary competence in the professional training of philologists. The effectiveness of the development of the state is largely determined by the quality of training qualified personnel who are able to solve various professional tasks, one of which is working with documents. The tendency to complicate the nature of the activity of a modern philologist specialist poses new challenges to the higher education system. The field of professional activity of a philologist can be defined as a set of heterogeneous functions from the philological sphere proper and areas adjacent to it. The authors substantiate the need to revise approaches to the structure and content of the professional competence of a philologist in connection with changes in the requirements for a specialist on the part of the employer, it is the competence approach that underlies the standards of the third generation. Readiness for professional activity presupposes a set of key competencies that ensure the rapid adaptation of graduates in various professional fields and the successful completion of a large number of tasks, including working with documents. The authors of the study emphasize the importance of the formation of documentary competence within the framework of basic and additional educational programs in order to maximize the approximation of higher education to the further professional activities of graduates in accordance with the demands of modern society.
