THEORETICAL BASIS OF DEVELOPING STUDENTS' PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES BASED ON IMITATION MODELS
Abstract
This article analyzes the theoretical foundations of the development of students' professional competence based on imitative models. The essence of imitative educational technologies, their advantages over traditional teaching methods, and their role in strengthening students' practical knowledge are considered. Also, best practices in the formation of professional competence through innovative methods such as virtual simulations, business games, and role-playing exercises are analyzed. The results of the article are aimed at providing recommendations for the effective use of imitative models in the education system.
Keywords
imitative models, professional competence, innovative education, virtual simulations, interactive learning.
