Study on the Development of Transversal Competences of Students of Logistic

Abstract

Background: In the dynamically developing enterprises of the TFL industry, the demand for educated and competent employees is still growing. The educational process at the academic level should not only broaden the level of knowledge in this field but should also promote the development of transversal skills, such as entrepreneurship, communicativeness, creativity, and cooperation in the group. The article aims to examine the effectiveness of using three selected heuristic methods to develop transversal skills in the field of Logistics at the Maritime University of Szczecin. The research also pertains to the pace of growth of these competences during the implementation of educational processes using the indicated methods. Method: The method of accelerating the development of transversal competences in the process of students' practical education was used to test models of cross-functional skills development processes. The competence growth assessment was carried out in three stages, with the use of brainstorming, meta-plan and psychodrama. The competence level test was taken into account before the evaluation of the learning process models and after their completion. Nonparametric tests of multiple comparisons were used to analyze the results obtained. A matrix for the dependence increase in the applied case was based on the applied heuristic method.
