- Abstract
The article aims at substantiating the need to develop cross-cultural competence in future officers of the National Guard of Ukraine under conditions of rapid development of multiculturalism in the Ukrainian society and to present a project on building the competence within interdisciplinary environments. Theoretical basis of the study: fundamental researches of national and foreign experts on the problems of cross-cultural communication as well as modern papers on building cross-cultural competence within the educational process. Methodological basis: cross-cultural, concrete historical, systemic, hermeneutic and interdisciplinary approaches. Research methods: philosophical reflection, analysis, synthesis, document analysis, monitoring, observation, survey and social experiment. The context of the study is higher military education the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine provides to future officers. The results obtained in the course of the study are distinguished by their originality: 1) the need to form cross-cultural competence in future officers of the National Guard of Ukraine was substantiated; 2) tolerance and equality were substantiated for being an axiological basis of social communications in a multicultural space since they build a strong core of cross-cultural competence acquired by future law enforcement officers; 3) the issue of moral choice in cross-cultural interaction in the context of social communication is considered; this goes beyond the study limited to only interpersonal interaction (ethics of possibility, I. Donnikova); 4) a study of tolerance in the cadet environment was made and a comparative analysis of the obtained research results on tolerance among students (W. Zheyuan) and cadets (authors of the paper) was carried out; 5) cross-cultural competence of cadets proved to build only within the educational process; 6) a project on implementing the objective to build cross-cultural competence in future officers of the National Guard of Ukraine was presented. Conclusions: 1) successful performance of the National Guard of Ukraine within a multicultural environment depends on the ability of law enforcement to be impartial and objective and make decisions based on the values of cross-cultural tolerance, recognition of equality of all participants in social communication regardless of their cultural affiliation, non-discrimination and non-discrimination; 2) an interdisciplinary approach can provide a comprehensive development of cross-cultural competence in future officers of the National Guard of Ukraine within the existing educational and professional programs; the unity of the cross-cultural approach in teaching socio-humanitarian disciplines may provide complexity in building cross-cultural competence; 3) interactive methods of developing cross-cultural competence are effective; 4) it is necessary to change conceptual approaches to training future officers of the National Guard of Ukraine and overcoming obsolete attitudes and stereotypes. Perspective directions of solving the problems noted in the research are outlined.
