IMPROVING THE TEACHING METHODOLOGY OF THE COURSE “OIL AND GAS FIELD GEOLOGY” ON THE BASIS OF SCIENTIFIC COGNITION METHODS

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of improving the teaching methodology of the course Oil and Gas Field Geology on the basis of scientific cognition methods. The study analyzes an effective instructional model grounded in the integration of the gnoseological approach, methodological foundations, didactic principles, and learning-cognition methods. The possibilities for developing the practical competence of future engineers through the incorporation of such structural components of scientific cognition as the empirical basis, theoretical core, and dialectical outcome into the educational process are substantiated. In addition, the article justifies the need to improve didactic support based on the harmony of scientific and learning-cognition methods within the instructional process. As a result, it is demonstrated that a methodological approach grounded in scientificity, systematicity, consistency, practical orientation, and reflexivity serves as an important factor in strengthening students’ professional training in teaching the course Oil and Gas Field Geology.
