Abstract

Introduction. Modern concepts of developing labour market and education defined in the digital economy paradigm, enunciate the imbalance between the rapidly chang- ing requirements of the new economy and the system of vocational training. The nonlinearity of professional and educational trajectories brings to the fore, and the practice of continuous professional development and retraining becomes particularly important. Hence, special at- tention is drawn to the idea of transprofessional education, which reflects a new direction in future personnel labour market development. The prospects and possibilities of implementing the concept of transprofessionalism in the modern system of higher education require under- standing a number of conceptual and practical issues, therefore, it seems urgent and timely to analyse the needs of students themselves in obtaining this type of education. Aim. The aim of the article was to analyse the demand for transprofessional education in the student discourse, as well as to articulate the actualised students’ expectations in the subjective assessments and risks associated with the spread of a new type of transprofessional specialists. Methodology and research methods.

The source of empirical data was the results of a sociological study conducted in February–May 2021. At the first stage of the study, on the basis of a target sample, 1357 students, who are studying various educational programs of the social and humanitarian profile of the bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, were interviewed. The representation of the results of a quantita- tive study is based on a statistical analysis of the survey data using nonparametric methods to check the relationship between variables. The qualitative analysis of the essay texts was carried out within the framework of historical discourse analysis, which required the use of a three-dimensional analytical apparatus that allowed the authors to reveal the linguistic and constructive features of the construction of texts identify argumentation strategies and fix per- sonal meanings in the content of the essay...
