Abstract:
The article examines the issue of improving the methodology for
developing transversal competencies. Directions such as the use of digital
technologies, interactive learning tools, and enhancing teachers' professional
qualifications are proposed. It is recommended to improve the monitoring and
assessment system to increase the efficiency of the educational process.
Key words:
Transversal competencies, digital technologies, interactive
learning, teacher training, monitoring and assessment.
In the modern education system, transversal competencies are of great
importance. These competencies serve to develop students' ability to integrate
knowledge and skills in various fields, solve problems, work in a team,
innovative thinking and communication skills. Transversal competencies are a
set of general skills and abilities that students are able to apply in different
subjects and life situations.
These competencies are very important for modern employers because
they provide flexibility and high efficiency of the workforce in addition to
specialized knowledge. In the "Education 2030" program presented by UNESCO,
transversal competences are distinguished as the main elements of "learning for
life" [1].
The methodology for developing transversal competencies includes:
1. Innovative methods of teaching - it is important to use innovative
methods of teaching in the development of transversal competencies. For
example:
Project-based learning: Students are given the opportunity to work on
projects aimed at solving real-life problems. According to Kolb, students learn to
apply theoretical knowledge through practical projects [2].
Game technologies: Through business games and role-playing exercises,
students can develop teamwork and problem-solving skills. According to
Anderson and Krathwohl's taxonomy, such techniques help develop higher-level
cognitive skills [3].
Blended learning: By combining online and offline learning, students' digital
competencies can be improved.

2. Interactive educational technologies - through interactive educational
tools, virtual laboratories, simulation programs and online platforms, it is
possible to increase students' abilities to think independently and acquire
practical skills. According to Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, the use
of different interactive tools takes into account the individual needs and abilities
of each student [4].
3. Individualization of the educational process - taking into account the
unique characteristics of each student, an individual approach should be
implemented. For this:
- Development of personal development plans.
- Offer tasks and projects that match students' interests.
4. Effective use of digital technologies - digital technologies are the main
tool in the development of transversal competencies. For example:
- online tests and games:
- virtual reality (VR) and argued reality (AR): Acquisition of practical skills
in a realistic environment.
As Zarytska noted, the use of digital technologies significantly improves
students' independent thinking and problem-solving skills [5]. According to the
research of Anderson and Krathwall, improving the professional training of
teachers is one of the most important factors for improving the quality of the
educational process. New criteria and methods should be developed for
monitoring the process of developing transversal competencies and evaluating
the results. As Kolb noted, improving the monitoring and evaluation system will
allow for more accurate analysis of student progress.
5. Practical application
The following steps are recommended to implement this methodology:
1. Adjustment of educational programs to the requirements of transversal
competencies.
2. Introduction of digital resources and interactive tools.
3. Conducting activities on improving the qualifications of teachers.
4. Implementation of the results monitoring and analysis system.
Summary. Improving the methodology of development of transversal
competencies is one of the urgent issues of the modern education system. This
methodology serves to increase students' ability to think independently, work in
a team and acquire innovative approaches. Effective use of digital technologies,
teacher training and improvement of the monitoring system will ensure the
success of this process.
