Summary

The article examines the structure and essence of cultural competence of the student in the context of physics teaching. The article provides evidence of the relevance of the problem of shaping students’ cultural competence in view of the importance of national identity, patriotism and deep respect for their country, nation, its history and traditions.The author has analyzed scientific publications that describe the formation of cultural competence of a student and normative documents. It has been realized that despite the different names of the competence (general cultural, awareness and self-expression in the sphere of culture, cultural), its essence is generally similar. It is argued that it is reasonable to use three-component structure of cultural competence: cognitive (knowledge), active (skills, abilities), personal (motives, values, attitudes).In the context of teaching physics the notion of student’s cultural competence as a structured set of personal qualities that provides the ability to use the knowledge of physics in the process of mastering cultural and artistic achievements of Ukraine and the world, expression of own ideas by means of different types of art is specified. The contents of the competence components are listed: cognitive – knowledge of physical bases of different kinds of art, Ukrainian folk traditions, traditions of other peoples of the world; Activity – the ability to use knowledge of physics during the introduction to the works of art, to incorporate their own creative ideas, to understand the Ukrainian folk traditions and customs, the customs of other peoples; Personal – valued attitude to the culture and customs of the Ukrainian people, world cultural heritage, awareness of the importance of physical knowledge for the understanding of different types of art, own cultural development.The suggested content of the cognitive and personal components of cultural competence is the basis for the selection of topics for additional teaching material and for the selection of teaching methods and techniques aimed at the formation of cultural competence of students.
