Strategies for Implementing Competency-Oriented Training of a New-Type of a Teacher in the Conditions of Modernization of Contemporary Institutions of Higher Education

The study proves that the relevance of the problem of competency-based training of a new type of a teacher in the context of the modernization of higher education institutions is due to fundamental changes in the paradigm of education: the transition from “knowledge-centrism” to human-centrism and a personality-oriented approach. Due to the legislative documents, the conceptual foundations of training a new type of teacher, who is considered a facilitator, mentor and organizer of the educational environment, have been substantiated. Scientific research of recent years in domestic and foreign scientific and pedagogical literature has been analyzed, which form a scientific discourse and a theoretical basis that combine professional skills, creativity and the ability of a teacher to adapt to constant changes. Key strategies for implementing training a new type of teacher, which integrates practice-oriented learning with reflective analysis, an activity-based approach (case methods, project learning, simulation games), partnership interaction being the cooperation of higher education institutions with schools (mentoring), have been identified. The need for the implementation of competency-based teacher training has been grounded, which presupposes a shift from the traditional model of “knowledge transfer” to the model of “experience formation”. The main directions of modernization of higher education institutions have been substantiated. These include: a change in the educational paradigm and digital transformation, a request for the formation of “soft skills” and the creative potential of the personality, as well as the implementation of the acmeological approach, social responsibility and the ethics of partnership. The integration of the domestic educational paradigm with the European educational space is of great importance. The article also presents the results of the research work of teachers of the Zhytomyr Scientific and Pedagogical School, which experimentally confirm the developed theoretical and practical principles of the identified research problem. According to the researchers, the modernization of educational institutions involves the introduction of digital technologies and digital tools, which significantly expands the capabilities of teachers and the effectiveness of their activities based on partnership interaction of the participants in the educational process. Thus, it has been proven that the identified and substantiated strategies for implementing competency-based teacher training of a new type are promising in the face of modern challenges.
