Management of Military Pedagogical Personnel: Theoretical and Methodological Foundations and Contemporary Approaches
Abstract
Purpose. To investigate the theoretical and practical foundations of the management of military pedagogical personnel, and to provide recommendations for enhancing the efficiency of this process within the context of modern management approaches and international experience.
Method. It is in the study, analytical, comparative, and document-based methods were applied to examine the management of military pedagogical personnel.
Theoretical implications. Theoretical results indicate that the management of military pedagogical personnel should be regarded as a comprehensive theory formed at the intersection of pedagogy, management science, and the principles of military education. A systematic approach and a competency-based management model define the structure, objectives, and functions of military pedagogical activity on a scientific basis. At the same time, quality management and results-oriented approaches provide a theoretical foundation for evaluating and optimizing the effectiveness of pedagogical personnel’s activities.
Practical implications. The application of a systematic and competency-based approach in the management of military pedagogical personnel accelerates their professional development and enhances the quality of the educational process. Optimizing planning and organizational mechanisms ensures the consistency and results-orientation of pedagogical activities. The implementation of modern management practices and international standards increases personnel motivation and strengthens a responsible approach to their work. As a result, the management of pedagogical personnel in military educational institutions is carried out in a manner that is both practically effective and aligned with real operational requirements.
Value. This article makes a scholarly contribution by identifying the theoretical and practical foundations of managing military pedagogical personnel and enhancing the efficiency of the military education system within the context of modern management approaches and international standards.
Paper type. Review article.
