TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION OF TEACHERS
Modern challenges that determine the vector of development of the educational system have focused scientific thought on the idea of continuity of professional education. This orientation of the educational system as a whole is due to the very essence of continuity, which is able to determine the progressive movement of innovative processes within it. At the same time, the current stage of development of society initiates changes in the educational sphere, which are characterized by such features as interconnection, stability and the ability to accelerate. These changes change the demand for the qualification structure of professional personnel, requiring them to be professionally mobile and perfect, and to constantly update their knowledge. Thus, for almost any specialist and, in particular, for a teacher, continuous professional education and self-education becomes a factor in maintaining the necessary qualifications, competence and, as a result, competitiveness. However, if at the theoretical level continuous education is sufficiently justified, then the practice of implementing its ideas in modern socio-cultural conditions has not yet been formed. In this regard, it seems appropriate to analyze and systematize its regularities from the point of view of the historical-genetic relationship and conditionality relative to the traditional education system. As well as implementation principles.
