Development of cultural competence as objective
journalistic education
When training for journalists in modern information society it is important
to pay attention to a series of elements, in addition to learning the skills
and abilities to a narrow professional creative work. Specifics of the
profession implies a variety of non-standard forms of work, ability to make
optimal use of the creative experience of predecessors and contemporaries, the
ability to navigate the socio-cultural balance and much more. Moreover, nobody
abolished the main task – the intelligent training specialist who has a high
level of cultural development. Obvious that education should be aimed not only
at educational process, but also to foster the best qualities of future
specialists, thus expanding the category "education".
Drawing on the works of J. Velis, A. Naâzova and other, we highlight
in the category of "education" several levels.
The first level is a literacy that is characterized by the
ability to use basic methods (or "skills" by default). The fact that
the ability to read, count, etc. is essential, says, on the one hand, the level
of development of the society and the ever-changing borders of literacy. If a
hundred years ago, to a certain extent and in certain cases it was quite some
degree of literacy, now it comes to more complex forms (e.g. technical
literacy).
The second level of education – functional literacy. It is
characterized by a degree of mastery of the essential life skills; functional
literacy implies the ability to solve common life challenges through applied
knowledge in different spheres of life. Accordingly, the opposite of the concept
of functional literacy-functional illiteracy, which shows that the level of
knowledge, skills and abilities does not allow an individual to accurately and
fully function in society. Functionally illiterate people, illiterate, not only
in professional activity, but is not able to understand the technical manuals,
programmers of political parties, in any complex texts.
The third level of education – competence. It is seen as the ability to
navigate in the competency of a particular set of issues and is characterized
by a degree of mastery of the theoretical tools of cognitive or practical
activities. We believe that when it comes to preparing more appropriate to use
the term journalist "cultural competence" personality as proposed by
A. Flier [2]. Under the cultural competence of personality he would, first of
all, a fair degree of socialization and enculturation of the individual in
society, which allows him to understand, use, and interpret the full amount of
any ordinary (non-specialised) knowledge, and specialized, but in everyday
life. Such knowledge is the rule of special erudition of the man in this
environment, rules, laws, customs, taboos, installations and other regulators
of label behavior. Also we think it appropriate, referring to the training of journalists,
distinguish individual competence cultural competence in communication.
Under communication competence A.
Kayumov realizes integrative property of personality that is generated in the
exchange of information and the intention expressed in the social opportunities
not only in the realization of special communications, but also cultural
self-development and self-improvement subject of information interactions [1]. In our view, the cultural level of
the personality of the journalist, this definition is appropriate.
Communication competence of
personality of the future journalist is, in our view, a determinant the effectiveness of the processes of socio-cultural
communication as active subject.
Thus, journalistic education
faces the challenge of not only so much in application of
effective methods and organizational forms of training to prepare high quality
specialist, a universal journalist, how adequate understanding of the need to
develop cultural competence of personality. It's about shaping the minds of
future journalist holistic socio-cultural world view, a coherent and orderly.
