On professional and pedagogical competence development of technical university teaching staff

Abstract

The fundamental task of engineering education lies in interdisciplinary integration of content and teaching methods through the development of multimedia and virtual technologies. This leads to new demands on the professional knowledge, abilities, skills, and qualities of a teaching staff member. The main objective is to test the effectiveness of methods of formation and development of professional and pedagogical competence. The main results of the research allow identifying methods of development of professional and pedagogical competence (collaborative, personalized; training, consultations) and evaluation criteria, characterizing a public recognition of the scientific and educational activity of teachers. These methods allow developing a program for the training of faculty members, including participation in the scientific and teaching activity, organization of personal exhibitions, the development of individual projects to optimize higher education. The criteria identified allow to include characteristics of actual and potential activities of a teacher.
