The semiotic transprofessional competence of a modern person becomes more popular in the coherent arsenal of cognitive and communicative competencies of a digital society representative. Semiotic means “sign”, therefore, the information society suggests a new format for the subject, who knows how to understand, create, transfer, change signs and sign systems that carry information. To prepare a successful representative of the community, a teacher with appropriate abilities is needed. The teacher, fi rst of all, is formed in the process of vocational training at the university, therefore, the university teacher is obliged to possess the corresponding knowledge, skills and competencies. This article aims at identifying of the university teacher’s representations about semiotic competence. The objectives are: a) to determine the diff erence between semiotic competence and informational competency, with which the former is often identifi ed; b) justifi cation of the semiotic competence phenomenon importance for the education system and for the 21st century’s teachers training system; c) the development of measuring tools to identify the representations of the university educator, who works with future teachers, about semiotic competence; d) interpretation of the results of empirical research in the designated problem fi eld of educational semiotics.The main research methods are: comparative content analysis of scientifi c literature on the problem of the informational and semiotic competencies interaction; Google questionnaire; scaling; qualitative methods for processing an empirical data array. The novelty of the article material lies in the theoretical justifi cation and presentation of the approach to determining the relationship of semiotic and informational competencies; clarifi cation of the concept of «semiotic dominant» on three diff erent grounds for students — future teachers — in accordance with their training fi eld; interpretation of processing an empirical data array results and capturing specifi c facts of the current state in the representations of university teachers, working with students in “Pedagogical Education” fi eld, about semiotic competence (in a sense, revealing the willingness of teachers to respond to the challenges of the information society). The results of the article are: justifi cation for the inclusion of information competence in the semiotic one; development of measurement procedures to identify the representations of university teachers, who works with future teachers, about semiotic competence in the form of a questionnaire of 27 questions; obtaining and capturing specifi c facts about the state of information and semiotic skills of higher school teachers.

Over the previous decade, higher education in Slovenia and Serbia has undergone considerable reforms, influenced by the Bologna process and its agenda of competence and learning outcomes. In the context of these reforms, the aim of this research is to consider the question of the relationship between the theoretical and the practical education of pedagoguesat the university level. Eleven university professors from departments of pedagogy and andragogy at the universities of Ljubljana and Belgrade were interviewed. The semi-structured interviews focused on two main research questions: 1) how they understand the relationship between pedagogical theory and practice, and the identity of pedagogy as a science in that context, and 2) their opinion about the competence-based  approach in the context of the study of pedagogy. The findings show that the majority of the interviewed university teachers hold an opinion that pedagogy is primarily a theoretical (reflective) science and, accordingly, that the mastery of theory is crucial for the development of pedagogues’ competences. Furthermore, most of them are rather reserved and critical of the competence approach as well as of the practical skills development. Although there are some differences in opinions between the professors from Ljubljana and Belgrade, this study shows that similar discourses prevail. The gap between pedagogical theory and practice is one of the major issues that have been current in pedagogical science in the recent decades. The findings of our research indicate that there is dissatisfaction with the relationship between modern pedagogical theory and practice, accompanied by the need for its reconceptualization.

The relevance of the research issue is caused by the transition to the 12-year educational period at school and insufficient elaboration of the theoretical and scientific-methodical support of the preparation of future teachers to the implementation of new pedagogical approaches in the conditions of renewed standards of general education. So, the objective of the paper is to develop the structure-conceptual model for preparation of future teachers to the implementation of new pedagogical approaches in the conditions of renewed contents of the general secondary education in the aspect of the system-activity approach providing an opportunity to consider the ways the future teachers may independently design their cognitive capacities by their own actions in the process of practice. The leading research method is modeling that allows designing the process of preparation of future teachers to the implementation of new pedagogical approaches in the 12-year school period based on analysis, synthesis, surveys, observations, experiment, processing of the results with the methods of mathematical statistics. The paper presents the structure-conceptual model for the preparation of future teachers to the implementation of new pedagogical approaches in the conditions of renewed contents of school education, reflecting the stages, contents, targets, tasks and expected results of the experiment, as well as the value-based motivation, contents and process components, criteria and possible levels. The implementation of the model implies the professional testing of future teachers in the professional activities in the conditions of renewed standards of general education at school and is focused on testing of the scientific-methodical support and the support of their preparation process to the implementation of new pedagogical approaches. The materials of the paper imply the practical significance for the university teachers of the pedagogical specializations.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.
