Development of a tool for assessing the level of development of the professional worldview of a specialist in the field of labor protection

the article presents the development and testing of a tool for assessing the level of professional worldview formation among graduates of the educational program 20.03.01 “Technosphere Safety”. The theoretical basis for creating the toolkit is a reference model of the professional worldview of a specialist in this area of training, including 97 elements of knowledge, 80 elements of skills and 168 structural links between them. The diagnostic methodology is based on a set of tasks of three types - closed, open and case, which ensures the observation of both the substantive and structural components of the worldview. The validation tool is based on the container, structural and criterial approaches. The criterial approach uses an external expert assessment of the effectiveness of the professional activities of graduates who completed their immediate supervisors six months after employment. Statistical analysis performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient revealed the first positive relationship between the questionnaire effect and the level of employer employment (? = 0.8; p < 0.05), which confirms the criterion validity of the methodology. Based on the results of the study, a threshold of a satisfactory level of professional worldview development was proposed – 85%, corresponding to average and above average qualification of professional activity according to employers.
