The readiness of future teachers for professional work in the context of a new model of functioning of the general education system

the article contains the results of the study of the problem of teachers' readiness for professional and labor activity in the context of the new model of functioning of the general education system aimed at developing the personality of schoolchildren, creating conditions for the realization of each of their personal potential. Three groups of respondents took part in the study: final-year students studying at a university under pedagogical education programs (n = 286), teachers working at school for less than 10 years (n = 285), and 234 teachers with more than 20 years of professional and labor experience. Minimal differences were revealed between the groups in the indicators of teachers' readiness for creative professional and pedagogical activity, pedagogical co-creation as the development of innovative methods and technologies for achieving the priority goals of modern education, readiness to work in a new way, performing helping functions, mentoring and supporting schoolchildren in their development. Negative dynamics were established in the indicators of readiness of teachers of modern schools to develop and implement pedagogical innovations. As a result of the study, it is concluded that at present, when the education reform has been carried out for more than two decades, the issues of training future teachers for work in the new conditions of functioning of the expected general education system remain far from resolved, that the majority of future teachers have a stereotypical idea of their professional role in improving the quality of the educational process, in the modernization of the entire pedagogical system of the school. In this regard, the need to search for a fundamentally new content of higher pedagogical education, rethinking the very essence, forms, means and methods of professional training and professional training of future teachers is proven.
