The article considers the issue of studying modern European experience of practical teacher training. It was found out that efficiency of preparing future teachers to their practical activity directly depends on all the levels – from top to bottom – state educational policies and support, regulations in the field of teacher training, modern initial teacher training programmes, inner motivation to become a teacher. It is pointed out the need to apply an integrated approach in mastering the readiness to follow the profession. As we are talking about the European experience, a special attention is paid to study and analysis of regulatory European framework. It helps to define new strategies of developing practical teacher training system, offers recommendations on efficiency of implementing innovative methods and technologies in teacher training process. According to some reports of European Commission, the effectiveness of teacher training is determined by comprehending the teaching profession and the professional development of teachers as a coherent continuum with several, interconnected perspectives, which include teachers’ learning needs, support structures, job and career structures, competence levels and local school culture. Within practical teacher training there is a special role of partner schools where a special position belongs to a school-based teacher/ educator, who does his/ her duties on the basis of a partner school. That educator teaches pupils at school and has responsibilities to support partnership with a teacher training university or college in providing the practical training of students – future teachers. It means to be a mentor/ facilitator/ cooperating teacher. It is found out that basis of training is the practical formation of qualities which are essential for the future teacher`s practical training. Students are educated to develop such pedagogical characteristics as flexibility, reflexivity, awareness of the internal ambiguity of positions and points of view, ability to take alternative decisions and to form the following basic personality traits as sociability, creativity, mobility, independence, responsibility for the personal choice, decision and the results of the teachers` activities.

This article aims at offering a presentation – both from a diachronic, as well as from a contrastive perspective – of the teaching training programme provided by the West University of Timișoara, for future teachers of French as a Foreign Language. The training of future teachers has known two distinct stages at the above-mentioned University, in terms of chronology, content and organizing system. The connection between these stages was the Bologna Process, hence we can talk about a pre-Bologna training system and post-Bologna one. Some important landmarks distinguish these two stages, landmarks derived from different concepts regarding the training requirements for future teachers. Thus, the first stage is defined by a relatively limited number of imposed subjects of study (Pedagogy, Psychology, Teaching Methods, accompanied by an important number of practical training classes. This type of training was compulsory, and it was the only professional option of a graduate. The Bologna System once implemented; the disciplines imposed to the students’ teacher training process have a status of their own. They become optional, since teaching is no longer considered the only professional option for the graduates in Letters and French. The training as a whole consists of two main modules, one completed within the BA studies, the other, within the MA studies. Given the relatively important number of hours dedicated to this type of training, there is also a noticeable increase in the number and variety of the disciplines, both optional and mandatory. A synoptic table offers a parallel presentation of the two systems and of the dissimilarities between them. For a better understanding of the teacher training activities, the article gives a detailed presentation of both requirements, as well as of the stages of post- BA training a teacher must answer to, the status of teacher once attained: the ”definitivat” status, and the didactic degrees I and II, as well as other activities that ensure life-long training. We conclude with a presentation of the prospects of improving teacher training through the legal procedures the Ministry of Education has in view for the coming years.

Technological advances require a flexible curriculum adapted to the new realities and challenges imposed to society and to education, in particular to current and future teachers. The initial teachers training constitutes an initial opportunity for socialization with the teaching profession and, in this sense, has to meet the profile of the student of the XXI century. However, there is a mismatch between the approach and contents of digital technologies and the needs for integrated, comprehensive and articulated training, as referred to in the ICT competency framework (UNESCO, 2011), and the curriculum for teacher training in media literacy and information literacy (Wilson et al., 2013). The aim of this exploratory article is to contribute to the state of the art about learning environments using digital technologies in the initial teacher training (methodological options, resources, theoretical reference, ...) based on a systematic literature review of 17 recent articles (2016-2017) from different countries. The main results point to a tendency to value the "testing" and application of theoretical models and the use of certain new or innovative digital technologies through observations, open questionnaires and pre-defined scales. At the same time, it was verified that the personal and professional development aspects of the future teachers, as well as the pedagogical relation, are not the research paper’s privileged focus. This work allows to conclude that the research follows the trend of the contexts of practice of initial teacher training, in which there is a disarticulation between theory and educational practices using digital technologies in a contextualized and meaningful way.

The vector of competence approach in professional formation of specialists poses to the higher education of Ukraine the question of the quality of future teachers’ preparation, the examination of which should become the professional competencies of the graduate student. The psychological competencies of the teacher require specification of the application of psychological knowledge in relation to a number of interactions that mediate the educational process and activity of a teacher. It is logical for the society to expect that the basic psychological competences of the future teacher should be acquired at the stage of primary professionalization in the educational institution which prepares teachers. Structurally normative psychological training of future teachers is indirectly reflected in the scope of teaching and distribution of teaching hours of psychological disciplines, in their content and structuring in different training courses, the ratio of classroom hours and independent work of the student in the discipline. The purpose of the work is to summarize the educational tendencies in the content of the curricula of psychological training of future teachers in the higher education system. The main results were obtained through the methods of analysis of curricula for the preparation of mathematics teachers of bachelor level in different higher education institutions of Ukraine in the context of: the volume of academic hours of disciplines of psychological cycle and their content representation; studying trends in the ratio of different forms of classroom training and their share in the general and practical training of specialists. The analysis of ten-year curricula and programs of psychological disciplines showed a variety of volumes of study of psychological disciplines, a tendency to decrease its academic hours, a reduction in the number of ECTS credits and reduction of the applied content component of developmental, pedagogical, social psychology and psychological foundations of family life. There is a certain tendency to decrease the quota of classroom study of psychological disciplines and increase the volume of students’ independent work. The lack of approved national professional standard for the teaching profession makes it difficult to include applied psychological disciplines in teacher training plans designed to ensure the formation of professional psychological competencies of future educators.
