PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION OF TEACHERS IN THE USA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPETENCE


 The relevance of the study is in the fact that modern school and university teachers are limited by the frameworks of one discipline and thus their professional growth is only limited by the gradual recitation of the provisions of one or another subject in the senior school not allowing them developing interdisciplinary courses. The authors of the paper consider the problem much deeper and define that the teachers’ opportunity to increase their professional knowledge is based on the provision of the necessary preparation of teachers in order to not only let them teach their own discipline but also to let them implement the interdisciplinary approach. The novelty of the paper is in the fact that it does not say that the teacher should give several courses and thus have the idea of the structure of some or other discipline. For the authors of the paper, the main component is the need in the preparation of the senior school teacher of both technical and humanitarian disciplines, which allows precisely demonstrating the interdisciplinary connections in the process of education. The paper reveals the parameters of such qualification and presents the model that allows assessing the extent teachers may apply the obtained knowledge in practice. The implementation of the paper’s provision in the field of the pedagogical practice is seen by the authors in the development of the programs of the professional preparation of teachers in the process of their work and further improvement of their professional knowledge.
