Abstract
The article is devoted to substantiating the relevance of the development of information and digital competence (IDC) of future naval officers in the conditions of their professional training. The challenges Ukrainian military educational institutions face, including resource constraints and the need to modernize training methods, prompt a more thorough study of the existing training experience in the context of digitalization of the society. At the same time, a cursory analysis of scientific papers indicates the need for more systematic research on the formation of information and digital competence of naval officers. The study aims to analyze the problem of training future naval officers through the prism of developing their information and digital competence. Based on the results of the analysis, we identified the following critical gaps in solving the problem of formation/development of the IDC of future naval officers: lack of comprehensive comparative studies that would systematically analyze the state and trends in the development of digital competencies of seafarers in Ukraine and abroad; insufficiency of scientific papers that consider effective methods, technologies and approaches to the formation of information and digital competence in the process of professional training of future naval officers; lack of in-depth analysis of the compliance of domestic standards and curricula for maritime specialties with modern educational requirements of labor; the need for empirical research that would study in more detail the opinions and positions of key stakeholders (teachers, cadets, employers) on current problems and prospects for the development of competencies of future naval officers. The research proves the relevance of the formation of different competencies of specialists, including information and digital ones, as well as the need to deepen and expand scientific research on developing the IDC of future naval officers
