Introduction. The relevance of developing a transversal environmental competence in teachers of various subjects is determined by the global challenges of the time, and the current state of educational development. The study aims to justify the need to form the transversal environmental competence in teachers of different subjects. Materials and methods. The paper discusses theoretical foundations of the phenomenon of transversal environmental competence of the teacher, and substantiates the independence of this competency. Experiments have been made to prove the effectiveness of the development of a transversal environmental competence in the teacher. The methods employed in the study also included questionnaires “Questions to yourself,” and a monographic description. The results of the study. An analysis of empirical material concluded that most teachers do not have sufficient knowledge and skills related to the issues of education to promote sustainable development. This is due to the fact that the environmental competence of the teacher is considered separately from their professional competencies. Therefore, it is necessary to build such environmental competence of teachers, which can help them solve worldview, methodological and axiological problems of self-identification, self-determination, self-actualization, and self-development in a society in the interests of sustainable development. In this regard, the appropriateness of introducing the concept of a “transversal environmental competence” in the pedagogical thesaurus has been experimentally proved. Conclusion. The practical value of the study lies in the improvement of the environmental competence in teachers of various subjects. Keywords: professional competence, transversal environmental competence, environmental education, construction, sustainable development.

The article describes specific features of the development of professional competence of future teachers. The development of the professional competence of future teachers on the basis of the personality-centered approach is aimed at changing personal readiness for the process of implementing their future professional and pedagogical activities. Different views of scientists on the definition of “professional competence” are considered. The model of developing personal and professional competence of future teachers is presented, which consists of four components: target; content-organizational; diagnostic and reflexive-prognostic component. The main forms of work with students within the framework of the presented model are interactive technologies for conducting classes, consisting of four components: target; content-organizational; by means of facilitating the processes of self-actualization and self-development, etc. An important role is given to individual work with students, pedagogical support in building individual routes for each future teacher. Independent activity presupposes work on one's own personality, with one’s own inner world for the purpose of self-improvement and use of the Self-Observation Diary. The knowledge and experience gained are further implemented as a result of practical training of students at the bases of specialized organizations. The results of experimental activities on the implementation of the model of development of professional competence of future teachers in practice are described.

AbstractThe results presented in the preceding sections were primarily aimed at developing a test on professional competence of pre-service teachers specifically for teaching mathematical modelling. In a first step, the theoretical foundations were laid and, based on this, the structure of professional competence used for teaching mathematical modelling was explained. Subsequently, the relevant constructs were operationalised and empirically checked. The results of the analyses presented regarding the test quality are summarised below and are classified in the current state of research to discuss possible explanations for the observed results on this basis. In order to further define the scope of the results, key limits of the test instrument in relation to the present study will be addressed. The book concludes with an outlook, in which possible implications are derived from this study for didactic research as well as for university teacher education.

The Central task of modern professional education is the formation of students’ readiness for self-education, self-development. Autodidactic processes are of direct relevance to the solution of this problem, which, acting as the basis for independent educational and cognitive activity, help students overcome the difficulties of self-development, contribute to the activation of creative potential (“self” processes), and allow them to become the subject of their own development. The article reveals the nature of musical art, which opens up opportunities for the development of semantic aspects of reality from the standpoint of creativity and continuous self-development; highlights the structure of artistic and creative self-development, which includes three levels – professional and value self-determination; artistic and creative self-perfection; artistic and creative self-actualization; the basic strategy of artistic and creative self-development of students-musicians, which is a harmonious combination of adaptive (conformal) and non-adaptive (creative) types of activity with a gradual predominance of creative activity. Special attention is paid to the components of artistic and creative self-development, which, representing the facets of one process, complement and enrich each other.

The article presents an analysis of the problem of the formation of professional competencies as the basis of students’ professional self-determination. Attention is paid to comprehending the aspects of the competence-based approach in professional education, which was developed in foreign practice and introduced into the Russian educational paradigm and acquires specificity in the space of interaction with Russian scientific psychological and pedagogical traditions. The article describes the components of professional competence, comprehends the important points of professional self-determination of students, and presents the main tasks of psychological and pedagogical support of the process of professional self-determination of students. A person in the reflexive-value space of his professional self-determination can become the author of personal self-development and consciously transform his professional biography. However, it is important to understand that this process is largely determined by the external circumstances of life, economic, political, social conditions. In this regard, it is necessary to note the importance of the educational space, the activity of teachers, who by their activity create certain psychological and pedagogical conditions for the professional self-determination of students.

This paper examines the theory of sustainable development presented by Jeffrey Sachs in The Age of Sustainable Development. While Sustainable Development ostensibly seeks to harmonise the conflict between ecological sustainability and human development, the paper argues this is impossible because of the conceptual frame it employs. Rather than allowing for a re-conceptualisation of the human–nature relation, Sustainable Development is simply the latest and possibly last attempt to advance the core idea of western modernity — the notion of self-determination. Drawing upon Hegel’s account of historical development it is argued that Sustainable Development and the notion of planetary boundaries cannot break out of a dualism of nature and self-determining agents.

System Innovation (SI) is a critical approach in driving individual and collective actions towards sustainable development (SD). This article presents the validation process of the Climate-KIC Professional Competence Framework (CF) for SI. This framework is based on principles of system thinking and the need for human capital to deal with challenges related to long-term sustainability. It comprises twenty competences grouped into five stages that describe contexts where professionals implement transformations: Exploring, Framing, Designing, Implementing and Strengthening. The stages are not linear or strictly sequential because overlapping and loops are frequent in transformational and disruptive changes. The CF fulfils several functions in the development of human and social capital: competences’ assessment, their development and training, and their certification to make them more interpretable in the labour market. The methodology for assessing professionals’ competences and the certification procedure are described. Overall, the CF aims to promote the development and visibility of human capital in a critical area for sustainability.

Sustainable development is socioeconomic growth that integrates political, economic, and social measures alongside environmental protection to meet the needs of communities and citizens without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The sustainable development concept was initially based on three main pillars: environment, economy, and society. In successive years, this concept has been expanded to include new pillars. The awareness of these changes has influenced our research interests. The main research objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of geographic information system (GIS) tools (data, tools, and multidimensional analyses) to the implementation of sustainable development principles in rural areas. The study covered rural and nonurbanized areas in Poland, especially farmland, forests, fisheries, and farms. The study presents the results of our research into environmental, economic, and social determinants of growth in the spatial dimension. GIS tools continue to evolve, which improves access to information and increases database managers’ awareness that highly accurate data are needed for spatial analyses. GIS systems allow us to formulate, in a structured and formal way, models that reflect both the current state and forecast changes that will occur in space. It is a very useful tool in the sustainable development of rural areas.
