| Annotation: | The developing digitalization of railway transport requires a new approach to training specialists in the railway industry. The article examines the relevance of the formation of key competences among future specialists in the field of information technology (IT) in railway transport. The specific requirements for IT specialists working in this industry are analyzed, including knowledge in the field of automated traffic control systems, data security and digitalization of railway infrastructure. The achievements of transport universities of our country in the formation of students’ competences using various approaches both in the methodology and in the practice of the educational process are analyzed and systematized. New methodological approaches to improving educational programs aimed at developing students` professional and personal competences necessary for successful work in the dynamically developing field of railway transport are proposed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the conditions for competence formation, substantiate the need for further devel- opment of the competence formation system, and to develop recommendations for improving the quality of training IT spe- cialists for railway transport. The work is based on an analysis of the pedagogical experi- ence of teachers and scientists from various higher educational institutions of our country on the formation of competences in the field of information technology in transport, optimization of the educational process as a whole. A comprehensive analysis of the existing problems and shortcomings in this area allowed us to develop and sub- stantiate proposals for improving the overall approach and educational process at the university for the sustain- able formation of professional competences of railway transport specialists, the main among which are: creation of competence centers based on universities and railway enterprises; the need to develop professional standards for IT specialists working in railway transport; development and implementation of a certification system for profession- al competences. | ||
