Abstract

Formation of the teacher’s personality is one of the key theoretical problems researched by the Department of General Pedagogy and Preschool Education under Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University. The article provides an overview of key issues and subject areas researched by the Department of General Pedagogy and Preschool Education.

The range of topical issues dominating pedagogical conferences of recent years indicates a great interest towards the polyparadigmatic nature of conceptual modeling, formation and functioning of personality, the interdisciplinary character of personological studies. It signals the need for appraisal of ways to modernize and improve teacher training effectiveness that might help overcome the crisis in the field of pedagogy.

Analysis of theoretical developments and practical achievements in system of education made possible to identify a number of contradictions between: the need of society to citizens with established system of values and the actual state of the process of targeting children and youth; possibilities of value content of upbringing and insufficient level of use it in the educational process and motivation of young people to the development of this content.

The ever increasing requirements for the teacher’s professional and cultural level and, therefore, spiritual, intellectual and overall personal qualities call for a greater focus on teacher training. Another widely addressed problem is that of training integration and coordination. Interconnection between integration and differentiation accounts for interdisciplinary ties which become apparent in the process of the future teacher’s personality formation.

Scientific reports and discussions of pedagogical issues enable the participants to share their teaching and cultural experience, improve communicative ability in foreign languages, inspire them to implement further international projects. Combining actual teacher training competence and modern trends of various national education systems may help create the basis of the successful teacher’s personality development and introduction of a new teacher training concept.
