The authors of the article consider the options for organizing the educational activities of future teachers to form soft skills as a condition for implementing the professional standard of a teacher. The professional standard of a teacher is considered and a number of competencies are singled out, the formation of which depends on the development of soft skills. In this regard, the problem of professional training of future teachers is considered in the context of the relationship of goals and objectives with the types of work activities and competencies presented in the professional standard of teachers. As an important result, along with professional competencies, the development of students’ abilities in communication, leadership, cooperation, diplomacy, building relationships is considered; formation of team, public, thinking skills; ability to present their ideas, make decisions, creatively solve professional problems, including social plan and others. The results of the survey of teachers, educators and stakeholders on the problem of soft skills formation are analysed, and difficulties in their formation are revealed. In particular, the analysis of such experience and the results of questionnaires of teachers and students showed, on the one hand, the demand for such skills, but on the other – the lack of readiness of many teachers to form soft skills in the educational process. A map of soft skills development in pedagogy classes is proposed, in particular, the potential of using the “flipped classroom” model as one of the advanced technologies for building the educational process is revealed. Characteristics of the content, forms and technologies of soft skills development at Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, as well as their own experience in organizing educational activities, allowed us to draw conclusions about the importance of developing soft skills for future teachers to ensure the success of their professional activities. Keywords: formation; soft skills; hard skills; future teachers; professional standard of a teacher; educational process; institution of higher education; modern forms and technologies of education; “flipped classroom”.
