The author notes that Ukraine's desire to integrate into the European educational space necessitates a detailed analysis and systematization of the experience of foreign countries in the professional development of research and pedagogical staff in the system of postgraduate education. The consideration of advanced training and the development of professional competencies of pedagogical and research-pedagogical workers on the experience of neighbouring Poland is actualized. Based on the scientific research of domestic and Polish scientists, the author, taking into account the distribution of professional competencies of academic teachers into four groups: scientific and professional, psychological and pedagogical, managerial and digital, analyses the Polish experience in the development of academic teachers. Theoretically, it states that Polish universities provide their professional staff with a variety of opportunities for professional growth, providing the most effective and favourable conditions for their further professional development. It also notes the importance of developing professional reflection, a creative approach to one's profession, studying and analysing not only one's own pedagogical professional activities, but also one's own educational ones. The author analyses the activities of a number of Higher Educational Establishments on the professional development of academic teachers, these are: the University of Warsaw, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, Pomeranian University in Slupsk, Social Academy of Sciences. Vivid examples of their activities in the development of academic workers are provided. The author comes to the conclusion that the professional development of academic teachers in Poland today takes place with the help of a variety of tools. It should be noted that the measures taken by the neighbouring country almost coincide with the work to improve the qualifications of research and pedagogical staff in modern Ukraine, however, they are implemented at a higher quality level; teachers are presented with more opportunities to improve their professional activities, Poland attracts more international specialists for the education of its specialists. Programs and grants that contribute to the scientific, research-related and, in general, professional development of education specialists are implemented. In general, in the context of globalization and European integration of educational processes, the exchange of educational experience is necessary to provide high-quality educational services.

The article features an innovative approach to the development of information readiness of pedagogical staff for the performance of their professional activities in full-time distance postgraduate learning. The essence and components (motivational, cognitive, operative and personal) of pedagogical staff's readiness for professional activity are characterized. Indicators of the distribution of teachers by levels of their information readiness (low, medium, high) for professional activity are given. The article also highlights methodology and results of the empirical study of the levels of pedagogical staff's information readiness for their professional activity, testifying to the insufficient level of development of such readiness with a considerable number of educators. It is shown that a high level of such readiness is peculiar to only one-tenth of the participated educators, who have deep and complete knowledge, skills and experience of work with information. They are characterized by developed personal qualities that provide active character and responsible attitude to the professional activity in the conditions of uncertainty. Other respondents have a partial (or nonexistence) awareness of possible negative consequences from the use of information, insufficient willingness to bear responsibility, as well as an inability to understand the regularities of information processes in the context of uncertainty, etc. The essence of experience technologies of the development of information readiness of pedagogical staff to professional activity in conditions of part-time distance teaching in postgraduate education is revealed. It also highlights the specific features of the implementation of experience technologies regarded as a tool for specialist training on the basis of practical experience and their application in the process of professional development. It emphasizes the effectiveness of experience technologies in non-linear forms of training, which create the conditions for learners to make a conscious choice of learning content and forms of their own professional development.

Youth field has been in constant evolution during the restoration period of Estonian independence, since 1991. The theoretical overview is about youth worker professionalism, associated with the developments in the European and Estonian youth field and in the context of the Berliner competency levels development model. It explains the expectations set for youth workers, to teaching and youth field institutions. Youth work is expected, like formal education, with more clearly defined educational goals, and it is emphasized that it is a non-formal education. An important aspect is enjoying of the activities and its educational elements. The National Curriculum for Basic Schools and Gymnasium (2011) sets the expectations that the non-formal education will give more support to students to complete the curriculum of formal education. Youth work in Estonia is an essential component of the educational system. Therefore, the professionalism of youth workers and their coping with new challenges is very important. Over the last ten years, major changes in the Estonian youth worker professionalism and in the aspects of professional development haven’t been mentioned. The answers are briefly: in Estonia youth worker profession has been associated with the development of youth field, but the staff preparation is very different and characterised by low working experience. Berliner presented development model of competency levels, treats the professional development as long-term, complex process, distinguishing between the five stages of development of the professional staff, which are also regarded in the context of the professional development of the youth worker. Youth work quality is dependent on the availability of professional youth workers and in order to gain it, the high mobility inside the sector should be reduced, a better situation and more support should be created for the formation of youth worker professionalism at the various levels of the professional growth. Key words: competency, professional level, professionalism, youth work, youth worker.

Today, Russia is actively working to introduce the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education 3++ (FSES HO 3++) into the educational process. At the same time, it is assumed that these higher education standards will contribute to improving the quality of training students of domestic universities for professional activities in domestic organizations. However, as practice shows, the continuous improvement of FSES HO, according to the Bachelor-Master system, does not solve the key problems associated with the training of professionals demanded by domestic organizations, who should be trained by the universities. This paper shows the problems associated with the formation of professional competencies among students of domestic universities in the implementation of FSES HO 3++, as well as possible ways to solve them and to improve the quality of training students as future professionals for domestic organizations. At the same time, all proposals are based on the practical experience of the authors and scientific analysis of existing problems, as well as feedback from employers justifying their requirements for graduates of domestic universities from the standpoint of the needs of organizations in the young professional staff they need, which allows them to successfully solve the issues of timely provision of the required level of competitiveness.

Improving the quality of higher education requires constant professional development and growth of both young and more experienced university teachers. Undoubtedly, professional growth is necessary, first of all, for young teachers of higher educational institutions, because they have no experience of working with students and insufficient knowledge of the discipline they teach. The professional growth of a teacher, which takes place throughout his/her creative activity, is aimed at improving the previously acquired and acquiring new competencies within the framework of his/her professional activity. Scientific and pedagogical workers systematically update the acquired professional knowledge and skills, master modern educational technologies and develop their professional and personal qualities. The continuous professional development of healthcare professionals occupies a special place. The systematic process of training and improving professional competencies after specialists receive higher and postgraduate education in internship, gives them the opportunity to maintain and improve the standards of professional activity in accordance with the needs of healthcare. The provision of high-quality educational services in medical universities is carried out by highly professional teachers who constantly improve their knowledge, skills and abilities through continuous professional development. The administration of the Ukrainian Medical Dental Academy constantly and in every possible way contributes to the professional development of the teachers of its institution, creating the necessary conditions for this, and also helps in choosing forms of increasing and improving pedagogical skills. Based on the results of work over the past year, the staff of the academy took part especially actively in the work of international scientific and methodological conferences, international webinars, online seminars, distance courses, courses for improving pedagogical skills, and also have numerous publications of the scientific and methodological direction in publications included in Scopus database, Web of Science and materials of educational and methodological conferences. Research and teaching staff of the Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy created a personal educational portfolio based on the results of continuous improvement of pedagogical skills. Each type of work is evaluated by a certain number of credits, which makes it possible to summarize the results of continuous professional growth of scientific and pedagogical staff of the academy for each year of their work. In Ukraine, each university forms its own model of professional development of research and teaching staff, depending on the direction of training of specialists and the specifics of the educational process. Continuing professional development is an integral part of the activities of higher education institutions and contributes to the acquisition of new and improvement of acquired professional competencies by research and teaching staff within their professional activities, which corresponds to modern trends in the educational process

Abstract The article deals with the trends in the development of professional-pedagogical competency of university teachers in the Higher Education Area of the EU. It is emphasized that the creation of a global international educational environment requires a holistic technological strategy, whose primary tasks include analyzing the international educational space, standardizing technologies for professional development. The article also clarifies the concept of professional competency based on the analysis of international documents and activities of international organizations (The International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction; Die Internationale Gesselschaft fur Ingenieur Pedagogik; Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area, etc.). Specific attention is paid to the theoretical analysis of trends in the development of professional-pedagogical competency of university teachers in the context of the Polish experience. Various approaches of Polish scholars, practitioners and university teachers to defining the nature and content of competencies and competences are described (K. Denek, P. Kwolik, E. Wilczkowski, et al.). It is found that the study of teachers’ professional competency is an important scientific issue. In Poland, there is still no single approach to understanding the competences, whose formation and development are necessary for developing professional-pedagogical competency in university teachers in the context of higher education reforms (J. Bugaj, A. Kotusiewicz, R. KwaTnica, N. Kwiatkowska, A. Sajdak et al.). It is determined that the professional development of university teachers in the Republic of Poland, aimed at improving their professional-pedagogical competency, involves a system of professional retraining and advanced training, which are implemented under the conditions of both relevant educational institutions (universities) and directly in the field. It is concluded that the process of developing professional-pedagogical competency in Poland is considered as a complex multidimensional phenomenon, which ensures the continuing personal and professional growth and is an important component of the system of continuing education.

This paper aims to develop and suggest self-evaluation checklists for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Japan as a reflection tool for their professional development. The paper first reviews existing theoretical studies on EFL instructors’ professional competencies for creating a fundamental framework for the checklists. This framework consists of four parts: content knowledge and skills, pedagogical knowledge and skills, classroom teaching skills, and professional development knowledge and skills. Based on this framework, this paper develops self-evaluation checklists. It also discusses how they can be used to support EFL teachers’ professional growth on the basis of the results of trial surveys with follow-up interviews. The checklists are expected to help the teachers periodically reflect on their overall professional competencies and thus stimulate their growth as EFL instructors. However, the efficacy of the checklists will need to be tested through nationwide surveys of EFL teachers in Japan. 本論では、現職英語教師が自分自身の成長を図るために使用できる自己評価のための簡便なチェックリストを提案する。まず、先行研究に基づき英語教師の専門能力を考察し、1. 教科の知識・技能、2. 教科を教えるための知識・技能、3. 教科指導技術、4. 教師の成長に関する知識・技能からなる枠組みをまとめている。さらに、この枠組みに基づく自己評価チェックリストを作成し、試験的にそれを活用した結果を基にその活用法を考察している。本チェックリストの活用により、英語教師が自分の専門能力を定期的・総合的により簡単に振り返ることができ、その向上にも役立てることができるであろう。今後の課題としては、本チェックリストの有効性を検証するための全国的な調査とその効果的な活用法に関する研究を重ねる必要があるであろう。

The Individual

The pedagogical process in an educational institution is determined by the interaction of individuals. Therefore, the decisive factor in the professional development of a teacher is the ability to act as a subject of pedagogical activity and build dialogical interaction with other subjects. Dialogical interpersonal interaction is a prerequisite for the efficient pedagogical activity in an educational institution. In the process of mastering dialogical skills, the professional development of a teacher is ensured. A significant part of the teacher’s professional competencies is associated with interpersonal communications, which focus our attention on the role of dialogical interaction in the professional development of a teacher. Pedagogical competencies are aimed at the implementation of professional activities and the ability to build competent dialogical interaction in the educational process. The optimal result of dialogical interactions is the mastering by the teacher of a certain set of knowledge, professional skills, and personal characteristics, which, in our opinion, could be considered as the criteria of professional growth. We believe that optimization of dialogical interaction between participants in educational relations requires special attention. In the educational institution, it is necessary to pay more attention to the implementation of the communicative potential of the individual, creating a comfortable educational environment for two-way communication. The communicative mobility of all subjects of interaction should be developed at pedagogical councils, training sessions, and parent-teacher meetings with the participation of a school psychologist.

Background.Question about the quality and format of postgraduate education of doctors raises increasingly in recent years. Development of professional standards and transition to a system of continuing professional education have allowed professional communities to raise issues of the quality of modern education but there is no clear evidence of the dependence of the level of education and the quality of medical care in the accessible literature. Experts of Research and Practical Center of Medical Radiology carried out the identification of dependence of post-graduate education length for radiologists and the quality of their work that can serve as a rationale for amending the system of doctors training.Patients and methods.The data on education and actual work of 85 radiologists of out-patient and in-patient units of medical organizations of the Moscow Healthcare Department have been analyzed. According to the results of the audit of diagnostic studies, carried out in the “Unified Radiological Information Service” system by the specialists of the Research and Practical Center of Medical Radiology, the final assessment of the work of each radiologist was formed, which reflects the presence or absence of diagnostic discrepancies.Results.Parameters of diagnostic errors depending on the age of doctors, the general length of service and the length of service as radiologist, the duration of postgraduate education in the clinical specialty and the specialty “radiology” have been compared.As a result of the analysis, it was found that the increase in the proportion of diagnostic differences is directly related to the increase in the age of the doctor and does not depend on either the length of service or the time of work in the specialty. Differences between the groups of physicians with the largest (professional retraining after clinical residency) and the smallest (clinical education + radiology) percentage of clinically significant discrepancies are statistically significant (p = 0.05, at the normative value of the Student's test score of 2.16).Conclusion.The inverse relationship between the duration of training of the radiologist in the specialty and the proportion of diagnostic errors, which can serve as a significant justification for making proposals for the exclusion of professional retraining within 576 hours for admission to professional activities of radiologists.
