The article proves that knowledge of psychological and pedagogical bases of a professional career phenomenon allows to take into account the ascending and descending phases of development, critical periods of life, as well as to predict the influence of socio-economic and personal factors on the teacher's personality development. The purpose of the article is to conduct a psychological and pedagogical analysis of the phenomenon of a professional teacher's career in Ukraine. Consequently the study theoretically grounds the necessity to take into account the modern teacher work peculiarities, due to the specificity of the environment, the presence of constant contacts with people with different temperaments, the need to withstand emotional stability. Moreover the article also confirms that there are a number of issues regarding both the professional development of the teacher's personality and his / her career management. The author of the article notes that this state of affairs is caused by the lack of purposeful influence on the process of the teachers' professional career formation and development, which in turn leads to a decrease in the efficiency of using the educational institution resources. It is important to take into account the main tasks that a teacher performs within the educational process, namely to provide a clear structure of the educational process; to teach students with enthusiasm and passion; to have a positive mood; to use humour during the classes; to increase the interest of students in the lessons; interest in the life of students outside the educational establishment; treat students with respect. As a result the research proves the necessity to take into account psychological and pedagogical components while building a teacher's professional career, they are the level of motivation of professional activity; the ability to empathize; the level of aggression; the level of neuro-psychic stability; the level of emotional burnout; a professional and general erudition; a culture of behaviour; a range of interests; a style of communication; an observance of rights and responsibilities, etc.

The scientific article is devoted to the study of a complex but relevant problem for the period of creating the preconditions for sustainable development - the definition of approaches to providing the economy with strong human resources. It is noted that its formation is always faced with the issues of reproduction of the labor force, the effectiveness of which implies the achievement in total, at the same time high levels of quality of life and vocational training of people. Particular attention is paid to the emergence of new problems that increase the severity of personnel issues in Ukraine: there is a significant increase in labor migration of Ukrainians abroad, reducing the population and working age. However, despite the difficulties of the transition economy, the country has gradual, progressive changes in the entire system of educational infrastructure, attempts are being made to reform the organization of education in educational institutions of all levels: higher education, secondary school, vocational education. In addition to traditional vocational schools in the educational, already competitive environment, there are new educational institutions - technical lyceums, technical schools, colleges. However, a significant part of vocational schools has shortcomings related to the quality of their material and technical base, the level of training of teachers in terms of their mastery of the latest technological concepts and methods of teaching educational material. Improving the system of vocational training should be based on the understanding that innovative development has already become an integral part of the domestic economy and has led to new requirements for personal factors of production. Now there is a need to closely link professional training to specific production conditions of future activities, the entire educational process should be built taking into account changes in the state of production processes, target settings for obtaining the final results of enterprises. Under modern market conditions, the first priority is not the production of more goods and services of one type, but their differentiation and new quality characteristics within one product group. Relevant changes occur in the assessment of the personal factor of production. This is not just about the quantitative certainty of staff, but about the level of training of each employee, his ability to adapt to technical and technological changes. In the process of professional training it is important to form in future employees an awareness of their role and importance in the overall efficiency of enterprises, to bring to their understanding the high probability of losses associated with their possible errors in the production functions. The issue of greening of professional activity should be important in the educational processes of all educational institutions

This article belongs to the field of methodological science that analyzes the interaction of school mathematics with the teaching of mathematical disciplines in higher educational institutions, in particular, to students of pedagogical directions. The article presents two extreme points of view on modern education. The first of them perceives education as a kind of value, completely ignoring the relevance of this or that educational program. The second focuses exclusively on the market conditions of the educational program, perceiving an educational institution as an enterprise in the service sector. The authors of the article criticize both extremes, considering the educational process as a phenomenon that combines the features of both value and market phenomena. Further, in the presented work, an attempt is made to answer the question, is knowledge of only the school curriculum of mathematics sufficient for high-quality professional activity in school as a teacher? The authors of the article unequivocally answer this question - no, not enough. A number of examples are given when the knowledge of university special mathematical disciplines not only contributes to a more perfect knowledge of the taught subject in the future teacher, but is also fundamentally necessary for the formation of specific skills and abilities of the future teacher of mathematics. As examples, such mathematical sections as complex numbers, the theory of limits, the construction of counterexamples, projective geometry, etc. The work also provides links to the professional standard of a pedagogue, adopted in 2019.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of academic freedom of teachers in the context of democratization of the educational process. It is proved that the academic freedom of the general secondary school teacher is the basic principle of modern educational reform in Ukraine. Academic freedom of the teacher implies freedom and independence in the issues of teaching, research, education (advanced training). It is substantiated that the intensification of the implementation of the principles of academic freedom in the practice of teacher work is connected with the processes of the bureaucratization of national education (2014 – present), as well as the implementation of the Concept of the New Ukrainian School (2016). Among the key components of the New Ukrainian School is a motivated teacher who «has the freedom of creativity and develops professionally». The concept also emphasizes the interconnection of academic freedom of the teacher with real institution autonomy and decentralization of management, and the New Ukrainian School can be successful in effectively combining these two components. An important direction of the state policy on ensuring the freedom of professional activity of teachers, democratization of the management of the educational process was the process of debureaucratization, which began in 2014 and envisaged the release of pedagogical staff from reporting, not stipulated by the legislation, as well as the ability to independently choose information resources, materials, materials teaching. In exercising the teacher’s right to academic freedom, there is a possible conflict of interest that arises between the individual teacher and the general staff of the educational institution, whose rights are exercised through a self-governing body – the pedagogical council. The resolution of the conflict between the right of the institution of education to academic autonomy and the right of the teacher to academic freedom depends on socio-political, economic factors, but, as a rule, public, collective interest prevails.
