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

The article is devoted to the use of interdisciplinarity as an innovative approach in the educational process of art institutions of higher education on the example of studying the discipline «Evolution of artistic styles in art» included in educational master's programs. This discipline is based on the theory and practice of professional development of a teacher-musician, who provides the Master of Arts education process, shapes their professional development necessary for their future musical and pedagogical creativity, skills, and pedagogical culture. The content of the discipline consists of the introduction of artistic styles’ scientific and theoretical fundamentals to the future specialists. The objectives of the course are 1) the theoretical generalization of the historical experience of the evolution of artistic styles, 2) acquaintance with the best examples of artistic culture, representing different styles and directions, 3) mastering complex problems of stylistic analysis. The aim of the course is the establishment of a strategy for a professional growth as part of the vocational training of masters in the following educational areas «Secondary education. Musical Art» and «Musical Art»; mastering the scientific and theoretical foundations of the artistic styles’ analysis as a formative student course of the music and pedagogical education in higher education. The interdisciplinary approach can be implemented in two main formats. A. Kolot believes that with the help of the first format he builds bridges between different sciences, brings them together on an informal basis without violating their individuality and uniqueness. In this format, the discipline «Evolution of artistic styles in art» «builds bridges» with such disciplines as: philosophy, history, foreign languages, general psychology, culturology, sociology, art culture, aesthetics. In the second format, interdisciplinarity is presented as a real tool for unifying sciences, and the emergence of integrative products. In this format the course «Evolution of Artistic Styles in Art» involves an organic combination of such disciplines as history and theory of music, theater, ballet, art history, philosophy, art culture and literature, analysis of musical form, choral class, music psychology, and others. Therefore, we propose to define the student course «Evolution of artistic styles in art» as a complex, interdisciplinary field of knowledge and consider the application of an interdisciplinary approach in the practice of a teacher of artistic institutions.

As the title implies, a scientific paper reveals the issue of an efficiency of professional activity of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions in the context of SIOP model. The problem of this study is that in spite of the stressed importance of teaching skills, student teachers lack many of the English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching skills which may have a negative impact on their teaching performance that in turn affects their teaching self-efficacy. The methods of applying SIOP model and the effect of using SIOP model on developing EFL student teachers’ teaching skills are studied. It is emphasized that among the multiple factors that affect students’ achievement is teacher effectiveness. Thus, the challenge remains to improve and promote the effectiveness of teachers in an effort to increase students’ academic achievement. The positive and negative aspects of the education shift towards SIOP model are identified, the principles of enhancing innovative educational process effectiveness are revealed. It is worth noting that any professional development of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions must address specific knowledge and attitudes that are relevant to teaching foreign language learners. Teachers need to understand basic constructs of the second language development, the nature of language proficiency, the role of the first language and culture in learning, and the demands that mainstream education places on culturally diverse students. There is growing evidence that professional development approaches that are guided by teacher input and that view teacher learning as continual and transformative makes higher education institutions a better place for students and staff. The results indicated that introduction of SIOP model has opened up a number of problems associated with the introduction of such training services. It is stressed that the factors of SIOP model can guide limited English proficient students and suggest some useful strategies for language teachers to handle the students’ difficulties in language comprehension. It should be stressed that the introduction of SIOP model in modern educational process opens up wide horizons and unlimited possibilities for the efficiency of professional activity of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions, which have yet to be studied and mastered by modern pedagogical science.

If the content and structure of professional competitiveness, defined by state standards, are formed without taking into account the personal qualities of the learning subject, its interests, abilities and are not determined by the professionalism of the teacher, it is impossible to lay the foundations of competitiveness and develop the ability to compete. The genesis of different approaches to the concept of competitiveness of the modern educator has been analyzed, in particular, in modern researches it is emphasized on: – managerial, psychological and pedagogical aspect of competitiveness. The process of forming the competitiveness of a teacher of a higher education institution, which includes its components, is outlined: = levels of development: a motivational and holistic component; emotional-volitional component; evaluation and adjustment component; = conditions of formation: the need to find such forms of work of the teacher, which would ensure the continuity of the process of his professional growth, development and introduction of multidimensional models of the organization of professional development, introduction of new educational technologies, participation in innovative activity; = development of a complex of properties of his personality necessary for a high level of professional activity.

Introduction. It is common knowledge that lives and health of people as well as safe operation of various infrastructures depend on the high level of professionalism of the staff responsible for safety. It fully belongs to the personnel structure of the State Fire-Fighting Service (SFFS) of the Emergency Control Ministry (EMERCOM) of Russia. However, in a technologically developed society, there is a contradiction between the increased requirements to young officers’ competencies and the impossibility to achieve a proper complex of graduates’ characteristics by providing education through only standard traditional techniques, which continue to be prevalent in higher education and ensure optimisation of professional activity in general.The aim of the present publication was to present the developed methodology of game-based learning for training of cadets of educational organisations of higher education of the EMERCOM of Russia. The methodology is designed to develop cadets’ practical skills in the field of rescue operations and firefighting.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the research, the methods of system analysis, synthesis and modelling of professional activity were employed. The research is based on the provisions of the associative-reflex theory, the theory of motivation development and the theory of contextual, modular, problem-based, reflexive and game-based learning.Results and scientific novelty. The interrelated elements of the pedagogical theories and didactic principles, united by a common scientific-methodological objective, allowed the authors to create a methodological tool for gradual formation and consolidation of organisational and administrative competencies of young officers of the State Fire-Fighting Service. The authors considered monitoring indicators of the results of training of graduates of Ivanovo Fire and Rescue Academy in order to develop the methodology, which purposefully addresses the shortcomings and gaps of education of future firefighters’ knowledge and their practical skills.The competitive spirit increases positive dynamics of the educational process and contextual content of business games, built on realistic situations from the field of firefighting and implementation of rescue operations at various socioindustrial, housing and transport infrastructures, attract interest of cadets and stimulate their motivation to improvement of own business qualities. The advantages of the offered methodology are the following: the possibility to design various schemes of practical training through the modular principle of their design; the development in cadets of the skills of team interaction, acquisition of professional experience by them in the process of role performance of duties of chiefs of rescue and fire fighting offices and department guards; the readiness formation to quickly adapt to new circumstances and to cope with non-standard problems in the conditions of limited time; to develop the abilities of critical thinking in young officers, to reflect own activity and to define the directions of professional growth.Practical significance. The proposed methodology demonstrated its effectiveness and practical importance for cadets’ training in the field of rescue and firefighting, as confirmed by, inter alia, the improvement of academic performance in special disciplines. The proposed methodological tool has shown promise in more rational redistribution of teaching time and expansion of the base of practical modules for designing business games for the purpose of development of new relevant professional competencies in students.
