| Annotation: | The article presents a description of military university cadets` political education from the point of view of its essence and effectiveness. It is shown that political edu- cation of military university cadets is based on three groups of principles – common, sociohistorically conditioned and personallyprofessionally conditioned. The general functions of political education are described – educational, develop mental, defining, normative and regulatory, integrative and humanitarian, and special functions – transitive, moti- vational, managerial, and rationalizing. The phenomena of political competence and political culture of military uni- versity cadets are described: political competence is present- ed as a complex, multicomponent ability responsible for the analysis and assessment by the cadet of political phenomena and processes in the context of the professional activity car- ried out, the formation of constructive models of political behavior and strategies for solving problems of military-po- litical work; political culture is a set of knowledge, values, attitudes and norms of political behavior that a future officer must possess in order to effectively perform his professional duties in a changing geopolitical environment. It is shown that political education at the personal level manifests itself as political culture (level of consciousness) and political competence (level of behavior), which in their unity essen- tially represent the result of political education, reflecting the totality of knowledge, skills, abilities, values, attitudes, norms of political behavior and beliefs that enable one to effectively analyze the political situation, make informed decisions, and act in accordance with national interests. The indicators of political education, ensuring the formation of political culture and competence among military universi- ty cadets, are substantiated, including four clusters: cogni- tive, personal, value and behavioral. | ||
