SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL WORK AS A CONDITION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF A UNIVERSITY TEACHER

Abstract

The article shows the role of scientific and methodological work as a condition for the development of professional competence of a university teacher. The essence of the concept “competence” in the scientific literature is analyzed. The opinions of various scientists on this issue are given. The authors’ analysis of the understanding of the phenomenon of professional competence of a teacher indicates a fairly frequent combination of several approaches in one definition, when professional competence is considered both as a system of professional knowledge, as a quality of personality, and as a system of theoretical knowledge, pedagogical values, and personal qualities of a person. Various approaches to determining the content of scientific and methodological work of the university are given.
