Innovative approaches to the use of interactive technologies in higher military education to enhance the cultural competence of students (cadets)

Abstract

Considering the trends in the introduction of various innovative technologies, determining the role of modern integrative technologies in the system of higher military education to develop cadets becomes an urgent task. Therefore, this work aims to determine the main innovative approaches and technologies that will contribute to the development of cultural competence among cadets. The main research methods consisted of content analysis and comparison. Data collection was done using the Prisma approach. Total number of sources: 42. Date range: 2019-2024. The results emphasize the importance of developing cultural competence with the help of modern innovative technologies. Professional cultural training should be aimed at developing 4 main components: knowledge, experience, creativity, and motivation. These tasks are completely solved by the implementation of modern innovative approaches, in particular, the combination of offline and online courses in cultural studies and language training, the organization of special language clubs with a stable international discussion, and various international projects on the study of various cultural aspects on the examples of individual military missions. The conclusions summarize that implementing these approaches requires teachers to use various technologies: multimedia, virtual reality, simulation technologies, etc. They can contribute to forming interactive virtual classrooms, organizing virtual exchanges between students (cadets), and improving their professional skills in general.
