Improving the professional competence of college students as the basis for successful teaching

Abstract

This article reveals the problems and prospects for improving the level of professional training of future successful teachers, which should be addressed while they are still studying at college. The study aims to identify effective measures that contribute to improving the competence of teacher training (primary school teachers) in the context of secondary vocational education. To solve all the tasks set, methods of literary analysis were used, focus surveys were conducted, and students were tested. Statistical methods and analytical methods were used to summarize the results and draw conclusions. The results of the focus group survey revealed the most pressing problems, the need for professional competence development, and the main factors for success among future primary school teachers studying at the college. Measures were developed using innovative methods aimed at improving the competence of college students to prepare them to become successful primary school teachers. The effectiveness of the measures implemented was confirmed by the experimental results obtained. The final diagnostic data on subject and methodological competence indicators showed the high effectiveness of the measures taken in the experimental group, where the proportion of successful students who received maximum scores in all types of competencies increased significantly. The results of the assessment of the pedagogical success of college students also indicate the effectiveness of the measures applied and the existence of a close relationship with the level of professional competencies.
