Abstract

The article focuses on the methodology for assessing the development of professional qualities of future specialists majoring in Technosphere Safety. Due to the globalization of production, the Russian education system is being integrated into the world educational network. At that, the range of qualifications required from a specialist of any field is expanding. These processes are changing the paradigm of professional education. The goal of professional training is not merely the total sum of necessary knowledge, but – above all – the development of professional qualities. The existing grading system needs to be introduced with an integrated set of grading methods that should take into account the achievement in natural science subjects, the intellectual development, the expert assessment, and professional communication skills. Educational monitoring of developing professional qualities must be carried out at every stage of teaching. In that way, a graduate, a soon-to-be specialist in the field of Technosphere Safety will not be a mere operator, but a holder of advanced engineering knowledge.
