The role of orienteering in shaping the professional competence of future geologists in the context of the federal state educational standards of higher education 3++

this article provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of orienteering on the formation of professional competence of students of geological specialties. The study is based on long-term data from pedagogical observations and a comparative analysis of academic performance. The purpose of the study: to study the role of orienteering in the formation of professional competence of future geologists in the context of federal state educational standards of higher education 3++. Methods: Study of documentary and archival sources, systematic pedagogical observation, organized pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. Results: The results of the conducted scientific research demonstrate the existence of a stable positive relationship between the use of orienteering in the physical education program and the academic performance of students studying in the field of "Geology". Statistical analysis of the data obtained showed a significant improvement in the results of mastering the following specialized disciplines: geodesy with the basics of aerial photography, structural geology, and geological mapping. The results obtained suggest that systematic orienteering exercises have a comprehensive impact on the professional development of future geologists, contributing to the development of professionally important cognitive abilities, the formation of practical field work skills, and the improvement of professional competence in general. Conclusions: It was found that regular orienteering classes increase academic performance in professional disciplines by an average of 7%. The results obtained open up new prospects for improving the system of geological personnel training and can be used in the development of modern educational programs.
