THE CROSS-BORDER EDUCATIONAL SPACE OF THE UKRAINIAN DANUBE REGION: UPDATING THE COMPETENCE PARADIGM

children development, the unity of family and public pre-school education, the leading role of a kindergartener in the process of child personality formation. It has been revealed that there were two main directions of the development of the theory of preschool children labor education in the Soviet period: 1. Theoretical foundations of the study (educational opportunities of child labor, its importance, the influence of different types of work on the formation of children’s moral qualities); 2. Methodical principles of the guidance of child labor (the most appropriate system of influence by adults on the organization of child labor). It has been stated that Z.N. Borysova’s ideas significantly influenced the development of the modern system of preschool children labor education. She revealed the meaning, tasks, and content of preschool child labor education, characterized the main types of child labor, ways of familiarizing children with adult labor, and had a significant impact on the development of the modern system of labor education preschool children. It has been emphasized that researchers have recently shown a decline in interest in the issues of child labor education. The scientists’ works are oriented on studying regularities of pedagogical process construction with the purpose of holistic in- fluence on labor development of children, formation of ideas about labor and profession of adults, development of basic children’s qualities in the process of labor activity, establishment of place of labor education in the conditions of search of new approaches of educational process organization. It been proven that the scientific heritage of the past is an integral part of the development of new pedagogical thought. After all, a retrospective analysis of the problem will allow us to take into account the best experience and to use it in the process development and updating of the content of preschool children labor education in modern conditions. Abstract: The European vector for the development of higher education necessitates the reproduction of the best national educational traditions, as well as the updating of the system of training of future specialists in the field of education in accordance with European educational standards. A significant difference between the changes in the transformations of the present is the increasing requirements for the professional training of future science teachers, given the multidimensional specificity of their professional activities. One way of updating the content of education and matching it with contemporary needs is competency education as a strategically significant factor in enhancing the competitiveness of future teachers. In addition, the range of competences asso-ciated with many factors is becoming more relevant today as they are indicators of future teachers’ readiness for professional activity. It is obvious that the training of a competent specialist capable of effective pedagogical activity in the conditions of the new Ukrainian school is a priority area for the professional training of future science teachers in the parameters of European standards. It is clear that a modern higher education institution cannot respond in a timely manner to the dynamics of environmental changes affecting global, national and regional levels. The most competent approach in the preparation of future educators in- volves the creation of a kind of environment oriented to integrate scientific and educational potential, the use of international cooperation opportunities in the creation of a single educational space. Internationalization and globalization of higher education in this perspective are the founders of state educational policy and determine the rethinking of the phenomenon of the university as a social institution, its specific role in the development of regional, national and international multicultural space. Cross-border cooperation at the higher education level is becoming a powerful conglomerate of the mutual influence of national higher education systems and a bilingual didactic component of vocational training. In terms of the issues raised, it should be noted that cross-border cooperation lays a solid foundation for realizing the competency potential of modern HEA. Thus, the removal of any barriers becomes the leitmotif of contextual analysis of the concept of competence in the dimension of cross-border updated understanding.
