The paper is devoted to the coverage of the results of the summative stage of the pedagogical experiment on the formation of organizational competence of future professionals in physical culture and sports of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (hereinafter "the AFU"). An algorithm is presented for determining the levels of formedness of their organizational competence according to a number of criteria: value-motivational, cognitive, activity, managerial, individual-mental and subject and their corresponding components of the phenomenon under study. The application of these criteria and their indicators made it possible to determine the levels of formedness of organizational competence of the subjects (low, medium, high). The study was conducted with cadets of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Physical Culture and Sports and Health Technologies of the National Ivan Cherniakhovskyi University of Defense of Ukraine.

In the 1st academic year, the high level of formedness of organizational competence was identified as following: high - 1.66%, medium - 15%, low - 83.33% and, accordingly, in the 2nd academic year, the high level of formation was: high 5.55%, medium - 22.22%, low - 72.22%; in the 3rd academic year, the high level was at 4.55%, medium - 19.69%, low - 75.75%; in the 4th academic year, the high level was at 5.12%, medium - 21.8%, low - 73.07%.

These input data allow drawing a conclusion that the coefficients for each component have a low level of formedness of the organizational competence of future professionals in physical culture and sports, namely: value-motivational - 1.53, cognitive - 1.13, activity - 1.35, managerial - 1, individual-mental - 1.44 and subject - 1.13. The greatest difficulties occurred at the stage of diagnosing managerial, cognitive and subject components. The vast majority of respondents could not reach even a low level of formedness on these components. The results of the summative stage of the pedagogical experiment showed a low level of formedness of the organizational competence of future professionals in physical culture and sports, namely, the coefficient of formedness was 1.23. This made it possible, on the one hand, to establish the conditions that affect its formation, and on the other hand, to emphasize the need to introduce additional pedagogical conditions for its formation at the formative stage of the experiment.

Keywords: organizational competence, summative stage of the experiment, state of formedness, criterion, indicator, levels, research methods.

Introduction of the issue

The principal idea of the research is to comply with the provision that the organizational competence of future professionals in physical culture and sports of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (hereinafter "FPPCS") is an important structural element of their professional competence, while its formation is a relevant field of their establishment as subjects of professional and occupational activities in military units.

In the European Qualifications System, the following skills are listed among the requirements to knowledge, skills, personal and professional competencies of graduates: "to develop strategic and creative approaches in the study of clearly defined concrete and abstract problems"; "to demonstrate mastery of methods…, demonstrate innovations in the use of methods"; "to form diagnostic ways to solve problems based on research..."; "to study, develop and adapt projects that lead to new knowledge and new solutions" [12]. Therefore, the process of training a competent professional in physical culture and sports requires purposeful consistent formation of organizational competence in cadets.

The effectiveness of professional activities of FPPCS for the AFU mainly depends on the formedness of their organizational competence, the ability to solve problematic organizational and managerial situations in military- professional and occupational activities. According to researchers, it is important for this to have organizational knowledge, skills, abilities, professionally important organizational qualities, as well as readiness for organizational activities both in everyday and in combat conditions as a subject of military-professional activity [1].

That is why the formation of organizational competence of FPPCS is a very important scientific problem both in theoretical and applied aspects.

Current state of the issue. The problem of implementing the competence approach and the formation of basic types of competence of professionals in various fields is carried out in the works of V. Baidenko, I. Zymnya, G. Yelnikova, M. Kuzmina, V. Luhovyi, O. Markova, L. Mitina, N. Nychkalo, E. Pometun, V. Radkevych, V. Slastyonin, A. Khutorsky, V. Svystun et al. As for military professionals, the problem of formation and development of basic types of competencies of different categories of servicemen has been studied insufficiently, as military pedagogy lacks systematic research on its formation and development. Yet, some research has been performed, for example, on problematic issues of formation and development of professional competence of certain military professionals (O. Artyushyn, O. Vydai, L. Oliynyk, O. Safin, O. Tymchenko, M. Tomchuk, O. Torychnyi, V. Yahupov et al.).

Some types of competence of military professionals have been analyzed in the research papers of O. Boiko [12], I. Bloshchynskyi [13], G. Hryban and K. Prontenko [14], V. Kiva and V. Syistun [15], V. Yahupov [16] and other, some of which are directly related to the problem of physical training and sports in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The problem of formation and development of organizational competence of various professionals has been studied by the following researchers: F. Badaev (managers of enterprises and organizations in the field of health care); T. Gelzhynska (technology teachers) [3]; V. Dzega (local self-government officials) [4]; L. Karamushka (various specialists and organizations) [5], K. Mamaev (enterprises of knowledge-intensive industries), S. Oguy (service industry professionals) [6], V. Svystun (organizational culture of the teaching staff) [7], G. Tymoshko (the phenomenon of organizational culture) [8], I. Belikov and V. Yahupov (professionals in physical training and sports, as well as HR bodies professionals) [1; 2; 10] et al.

Thus, researchers understand the organizational competence of military officers as "...an integral professional formation (as a psychological term) as officials of HR bodies of the AF of Ukraine which characterizes their organizational theoretical and practical proficiency, capability (practical organizational skills and abilities to upgrade their organizational training in different conditions of occupational activities, including extreme ones), professional, psychological and subjective readiness to implement organizational competence as subjects of the personnel management system" [10].

Outline of unresolved issues brought up in the article. Based on the analysis and generalization of the higher education standard for specialization 017 "Physical Culture and Sports" for the first (bachelor's) level of higher education, we can conclude that the existing system of higher (pedagogical) education does not practically contribute to the full actualization of creative potential of a FPPCS and his/her high- quality professional establishment, in particular, in terms of forming their organizational competence as part of their professional competence. Accordingly, it is important to find conditions that will ensure addressing the problem of training FPPCS for the AFU for organizational activities, bringing them to an appropriate level of organizational competence, which would meet the demand of military units for professionals of the new type and generation. It should be noted that currently the problem of organizational competence formation is considered by researchers very rarely, which determines its relevance, necessity and importance.

Aim of research is to determine the state of formedness of organizational competence of FPPCS at the summative stage of the pedagogical experiment.

Results and discussion

In this study we consider that the organizational competence of FPPCS is a set of components of their professional activities that characterizes the optimal level of organizational proficiency, ability and readiness to implement their work-related competencies as a manager of physical education and sports in the military unit the content, that is, the content of this competence should be correlated with their main organizational functions in the military unit for the organization of physical training and sports with personnel [2].

During the summative stage of the pedagogical experiment, the theoretical, methodical and practical aspects of organizational competence of FPPCS were clarified, taking into account the requirements of systemic, subject, subject-activity and competence approaches and with due regard to the structure of organizational competence of military officers, the criteria for diagnosing its formedness were determined. In the process of their isolation, the recommendations of researchers regarding allocation of a minimum scope of criteria for assessing the formedness of professional competence of different categories of military officers have been taken into account: "the isolated criteria and indicators should cover all aspects of its manifestation - value-motivational, cognitive, administrative, managerial, organizational, individual-mental and subject, taking of which into account is most appropriate to get a full picture of its level of advancement and to plan further activities on its purposeful development and improvement" [9: 172]. We believe that these criteria should be made more specific using the relevant indicators, depending on the exact position and functional responsibilities that a particular officer will perform. Taking into account this methodological provision, we have identified the following criteria for diagnosing the organizational competence of FPPCS of the AFU:

- the value-motivational criterion, the indicators of which are professional values and professional motives as a specialist in physical culture and sports [17];

- the cognitive criterion - activity knowledge as an officer of the AFU, pedagogical knowledge as a pedagogue- manager, and managerial knowledge as an organizer in the field of physical training and sports in the military unit;

- the activity criterion - praxeological skills as an officer of the AFU, organizational skills and abilities as an organizer in the field of physical training and sports in the military unit;

- the managerial criterion - motivating servicemen to participate in physical education and sports activities and engage in physical education and sports, their planning (forecasting) according to the needs of the military unit personnel, organization of physical training and sports activities with specific categories of personnel, coordination of organizational activities for physical training and sports of servicemen, control of these activities;

- the individual-mental criterion (professionally important qualities) - dominance (leadership), communicativeness [18], responsibility, good organization, professional endurance (the result of physical fitness);

- the subject criterion - self- evaluation as an organizer, reflexivity, autonomy, responsibility, professional subjectivity, etc.

Since all the above qualities must be formed in a professional in physical culture and sports, then, of course, the teaching staff of professional subjects by appointment should be ready for their formation and development.

The aim of the summative stage of the pedagogical experiment was as follows: to find out the levels of formedness of organizational competence of FPPCS and to analyze them; to analyze the educational professional program of training FPPCS for the AFU; to find out how the formation of their organizational competence in the course of acquiring professional education should take place at higher military educational establishments and in the process of studying the professional subjects; to select experimental groups (hereinafter "EG") of cadets, etc.

The diagnostics participants were 43 cadets of academic years 1-4 of the Educational and Scientific Institute of

Physical Culture and Sports and Health Technologies of the National Ivan Cherniakhovskyi University of Defense of Ukraine. And if the sample group size of the study is relatively small, being not less than 5 persons and not more than 50, then they are all subject to research

- a contiguous diagnostics. Taking into account these features of the sample group, a consistent pedagogical experiment will be conducted. After its completion, the presence of statistical differences in the levels of formedness of organizational competence of the EG before and after the formative experiment will be established.

The basis for determining the condition of formedness of organizational competence in FPPCS, taking into account the specifics of their military-professional and managerial functions and our research objectives, was our developed method of diagnosing by value-motivational, cognitive, activity, managerial, individual-mental and subject criteria. To diagnose them, we have created a battery of tests that includes the following methods: the method for diagnosing the motivation of professional activity according to K. Zamfir as modified by A. Rean; professional communicative social physical education cadet

S. Bubnov's method "Diagnostics of the real structure of value orientations of an individual"; the test to determine the levels of knowledge of the study subjects regarding organization of physical culture and sports in the AFU; the test to determine the levels of military professional knowledge; the test to determine the levels of pedagogical knowledge; the questionnaire "Quasi- managerial situations"; the author's method of diagnosing FPPCS as managers in the field of physical training and sports of the AFU; the test "Disposition to leadership"; the method for diagnosing communicative and organizational skills according to V. Synyavsky and B. Fedoryshyn;

M. Shchukina's method "Assessment of the level of development of personality subjectivity"; A. Karpov's method "Assessment of reflexivity"; the level of physical fitness.

Diagnostics of the levels of organizational competence of FPPCS according to the chosen methods had different rating scales. Therefore, to determine the reliable results of the pedagogical experiment, all the results of applying the selected methods were correlated with the generalized 100-point rating scale. In particular, as follows:

100-90 points - a high level of formedness of a certain criterion of organizational competence of FPPCS;

89-70 points - an average level of formedness of its certain criterion;

69-50 points - a low level of formedness of its certain criterion.

We determined the coefficient of formedness of each criterion of organizational competence in the subjects, which we propose to calculate according to the formula for determining the average value of the population:

Кc = (nl*1+ na*2+ nh*3)/N, (1)

where: Кc is the coefficient offormedness of the relevant criterion of organizational competence;

nl, na, nh is the number of cadets with the formed level (low, average and high);

N is the total number of cadets.

To obtain the results of the assessment of the summative stage of the pedagogical experiment on the formation of organizational competence of FPPCS, a formula was used to determine the coefficient of formedness of its criteria, that is, value-motivational, cognitive, activity, managerial, individual-mental and subject, which are interconnected and interdependent and determine the formation of each other:

Іc = (Кvm + Кc + Кa + Кm + Кim + Кs)/6, (2)

where: Кvm is the coefficient of formedness of organizational competence according to the value- motivational criterion;

Кc is the coefficient of formedness according to the cognitive criterion;

Кa is the coefficient of formedness according to the activity criterion;

Кm is the coefficient of formedness according to the managerial criterion;

Кim is the coefficient of formedness according to the individual-mental criterion;

Кs is the coefficient of formedness according to the subject criterion.

This coefficient should indicate the extent to which FPPCS have developed organizational competence. To estimate the partial coefficients, a score from 1 to 3 was used, where:

3 is the high level of formedness;

2 is the average level of formedness; 1 is the low level of formedness.

When calculating the coefficients Кvm, Кc, Кa, Кm, Кim, Кs, the results for each criterion are summed and divided by their number, after which we obtain the total coefficient of formation of organizational competence of FPPCS.

Thus, we move on to the analysis of the results of the summative diagnostics of the levels of formation of organizational competence of FPPCS in accordance with the selected criteria and levels. The results of the diagnostics are presented in tables 1-6.
