CRITERIA, INDICATORS AND LEVELS OF MILITARY-SPECIFIC PREPAREDNESS OF FUTURE RESERVE OFFICERS-PSYCHOLOGISTS

Military-specific training of future reserve officers-psychologists, constant updating of their knowledge and skills are regarded as an important prerequisite for effective solution of educational problems in practice. Analysis of the list of duties of future reserve officers-psychologists in accordance with the military regulations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has determined that 90% of their statutory responsibilities are associated with managing subordinates, that is, performing their duties in the system “man-to-man”. Military psychologists act as the direct organisers of social and psychological work; they are responsible for planning, methodological support, quality and efficiency of its implementation, and the efficiency of measures taken. Based on the understanding of the organisation of educational, social and psychological work, the criteria of militaryspecific preparedness of future reserve officers-psychologists have been identified. The structure of the military-specific training of future reserve officers-psychologists, according to the official duties, is aimed at implementing the goals of their professional activity – organising educational and social-psychological work in the military institution; it is a unity of three criteria: motivational and target-oriented, cognitive, performance and activity. Thus, the ability to conduct educational and socialpsychological work with future military reserve officers-psychologists is predetermined by abilities to hold educational events, study personnel and determine their moral and psychological state based on effective interaction, due to understanding the emotional and social importance of personal ways of solving professional problems.
