The report makes a brief analysis of the psychological and pedagogical literature on the issue of mentorship with teachers in the context of the inclusive education and the definitions of the term. Mentorship in the field of the inclusive education of teachers is a strategy of individual and institutional support which is fulfilled by the collaboration for learning of two persons and is predominantly targeted to professional development. It is a partnership, normally between two persons (mentor and mentee), who work in one sphere and share common experiences. Their partnership is based on beneficial relations, trust (confidentiality), protection, mutual confidence and respect. It emphasizes on the necessity to ensure effective mentorship for newly employed young teachers in order to develop their professional skills through a motivating environment in the process of inclusion of students with special educational needs.Socio-economic changes in the country and the modernization of training require a new approach to teachers' professional competence. Their professionalism is becoming a decisive factor in ensuring the quality of education.Main priority is to create conditions for developing the personality of the teacher, self-realization of his / her abilities, further training and development of his / her professional qualities.The professional training and development of future teachers is a unified, continuous and continuous process aimed at building personal qualities, professional competences, knowledge, skills and habits, adequate to his / her personal needs as well as to the qualification requirements for the occupation.Along with the motivational factors, the mentoring system plays a significant role in the development and improvement of teachers as professionals which is an integral part of the young professional's adaptation to the profession, its overall development and improvement.Often the words "mentor" and "perceptor" are used as synonyms and no distinction is made in their meaningful sound. Mentoring is a method that enables in particular disadvantaged groups to become more easily integrated into education or work. Mentoring has a relatively long history and is one of the first forms of learning and transferring socio-cultural experience.

The focus of the education system on the assimilation of knowledge, which was traditional and justified before, no longer corresponds to the modern social order, is determined by the objective need of society for a new person, capable of independent, responsible, creative actions, an intellectual person, with a critical thinking, liberated from dogmas, living in a complex. The fulfilment of these tasks requires a significant improvement in the quality of professional training of future specialists, based on the application of the pedagogical aspects of human existence and development in the context of the formation of their professional competence and involves the development of personal qualities and creative abilities, the ability to independently acquire new knowledge and solve problems, and navigate in the life of society.

This essay examines the implications of anywhere/anytime, or “ubiquitous” learning for rethinking teaching as an activity. The essay touches on the following themes: (1) changes that promote learning as a more continuous process integrated into the flow of human activities; (2) changes that promote learning as a more situated and contextual process; (3) changes that promote more reflective learning; (4) changes that promote more collaborative learning; (5) changes that promote teaching in more of a partnership model with learners; (6) changes that integrate formal learning, informal learning, and situated, experiential learning; (7) changes that promote new relations with other partners in the learning process – parents, workplaces, and so on; and (8) changes that promote ubiquitous learning opportunities for teachers themselves. Each of these changes constitutes a set of opportunities, and challenges, for teaching and learning in new ways. The essay concludes with some brief observations about the implications of these changes for the professional training and development of teachers.


At present, a new concept of industrial production is being implemented in Uzbekistan. The continuous process of updating equipment and technology places high demands on the training of specialists in the field of preparing future foreign language teachers. In modern scientific, technical and socioeconomic conditions, the main requirement for professional training of a specialist is the guarantee of the formation of a clearly defined level of professional competence. This inevitably entails a change in traditional educational technologies, in which it is impossible to assess the potential learning outcome. As a fundamental one, we accept the provision that the main, achievable goal of the functioning of the professional education system is to build the competence of a specialist, which also includes the development of professional qualities of his personality. Thus, the formulated goal of vocational training, in our opinion, is more consistent with the real requirements and conditions of production. The universally noted goal-setting as an orientation to the training of highly qualified specialists who are fluent in their chosen profession remains at the level of declarations, without changing the real situation in practice. The article on modular training analyzes the integration of the principles of modularity, self-organization and context that can guarantee the formation of a certain level of professional competence of future specialists, which determines the relevance of the chosen scientific direction of research

The integration of Ukraine into the European community is impossible without changes in the education sphere. The implementation of such projects of the European Union as "Horizon 2020” provides the collaboration between experts in Agriculture and Engineering. The results of the questionnaire conducted by “Agro Survey” agency showed the lack of student’s practical knowledge in Ukrainian Engineering and Agricultural universities. It is obvious that the quality of education in Ukrainian technical universities doesn't meet the requirements of the European labour market. Getting theoretical knowledge has no value until students can apply it for practical purposes. We suggest that a subject like Physics should be practice-oriented. If the Physics course at technical universities integrates theory with practice, students will be better prepared for their future career. The purpose of the study is to define the basic principles of professional competence as the key factor for improving the quality of future engineer’s training in the process of studying Physics. To select and interpret the factual material, concepts and theories the theoretical analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature on research was used in the paper. The pedagogical experiment was carried out on the basis of 4 universities in different regions of Ukraine and involved 159 respondents (151 students and 8 university teachers). To determine the strategies for implementation of the profession-based tasks in Physics course we carried out specially designed questionnaires for students majoring in Agrarian Engineering and university teachers. One of the necessary conditions for future engineer training is professional orientation in studying. We suppose that to consider the relationship between a comprehensive Physics course and the disciplines of professional and practical training the in-depth analysis should be performed. First of all, it will help to determine Physics knowledge, abilities and skills that should be used in student’s further professional training. Second of all, it will enable the most effective use of engineering-based tasks in Physics classes. However, knowledge of basic Engineering and General Theoretical subjects is not applied by the students of Technical High School for a long-period of university study. The results of the survey have shown that studying major subjects at a later stage doesn’t motivate students to learn Natural Science and Engineering disciplines. We can conclude that profession-based tasks in Physics class contribute to the formation of a system of natural knowledge, practical skills and abilities. They stimulate the students’ cognitive interest in Physics as a science, help to better absorb material of other disciplines, develop creative abilities and influence the formation of persistent motifs for obtaining knowledge of professional disciplines.

The aim of our study was to create a system of exercises for teaching interpretation in the language pair "German-Ukrainian", due to the emergence of new standards for the quality of professional training of interpreters. In our article we used theoretical and empirical research methods: critical analysis of scientific literature on translation studies, methods of professional training of translators; educational documents and textbooks in higher education institutions; monitoring the organization of interpretation training in higher education institutions; observation of the organization of interpretation training in the Free Economic Zone; survey of translation teachers in order to study the state of professional training of applicants for higher education; questionnaires, self-assessment of future translators in order to identify the probable level of their professional competence. At the initial stage of the study, a survey of both higher education and translation teachers was conducted in order to identify priority areas of professional interpretation of an interpreter, to select relevant material and develop a system of exercises to develop skills and skills of interpretation within the discipline "Fundamentals of Interpreting", which is taught in the 3rd year (180 hours, 6 credits). The subject component of the content of interpretation training is limited on the basis of the results of the questionnaire in the following areas: social, political, as well as the field of culture and education. According to the stages of interpretation training, a system of exercises consisting of three subsystems has been developed. These include exercises for: 1) the formation of special skills of interpretation; 2) automation of skills and formation of special and strategic skills; 3) development of special and strategic skills. The material for the development of these exercises was authentic German-language online sources in the field of culture and education, as well as social and political spheres of human activity (official websites of Deutsche Welle, the European Commission, the website of the Federal Chancellor and the President of Germany; private podcast Annik Rubens Slow German mit Annik Rubens, printed publications in online format: Bild, Zeit, Spiegel, die Welt, Frankfurter Allgemeine, as well as online terminological dictionaries. The total amount of practical tasks for translation and exercises for the formation and automation of special skills of interpretation and development of strategic skills is 200 units, which are offered as a basis for the conclusion of methodological development for teaching interpretation in the 3rd year. Key words: consecutive interpreting, professional competence of an interpreter, system of exercises, stages of training, groups of exercises.
