Professional
skills of lecturers in Higher Educational Institutions
The changes in all spheres of modern life, the modernization of higher
education led to the creation of
new requirements to the training
of teachers. The Law of Ukraine “About Higher Education” of 01.07.2014 № 1556-VII,
and the Decree of the President of
Ukraine “On the National Strategy
of Development of Education in Ukraine for the period till 2021” from 25.06.2013 №
344/2013 is emphasized that training
of teachers and teaching employees, their professional self-improvement, professional development, pedagogical skills, general culture are essential for the modernization of
education.
The professional skills of the
teacher are professional quality,
ensuring the self-organization of a high
level of professional activities on the reflexive
basis and allow achieving
planned results with minimal
effort and in the shortest time.
The main components of the professional skills of teachers are the humanistic orientation of activities; the professional competence;
the teaching professionalism; the
pedagogical skills; the educational technique; the educational technology.
In order to develop the methodological approach to the evaluation of the professional skills of teachers is used an interval scale. Each
following option has the meaning “above”
(or “lower”), “more” (or “less”)
and others. The authors suggested that the interval between the
multiple choice up to a value that is 2 points
to more clearly show
the difference, so each of their
answers to the procedure below
corresponds to the number of points
is smaller than the previous 2 points. So different
claims about the level of knowledge and skills of the teacher meet so many points: high – 10 points; high
enough – 8 points; medium –
6 points; low – 4
points; very low (initial)
– 2 points.
Based on the total points of each type of skill
is defined the factor of teachers’ professional
skills, which expresses the level
of the whole body of knowledge
and skills. The factor of teachers’ professional
skills is the arithmetic average
of the sum of the factors: humanistic orientation activities
, the professional competence
, the teacher professionalism
(
, the teaching skills
, the teaching
technique 
and pedagogical
technology 
:

When determining factor of any
type of professional skills of
teachers it’s necessary to consider the significance of knowledge and skills that are
appropriated. Overall the factor of
any type of professional skill
of the teachers within (3):
, (2)
where 
– is the minimal possible
score (potential) if each level of knowledge and
skills will be assessed as
“very low (initial)”;
– is a maximum possible
score (potential) if each level of development of each knowledge and skills will
be assessed as “high”;
– The total amount of
knowledge and skills that reflects
a coherent professional skills of the teacher.
If each level of knowledge and skills corresponds to 2 points 
, then (
– number of skills or abilities for a specific type of professional skills); 10 points, then 
.
The modern paradigm of education puts at the center of educational
activities to the form of a competent
person. Even the
best teaching based on the
assimilation of a certain amount of
knowledge and ability to play
them during the control
still can not provide the human knowledge for all life. This is especially clear in the present conditions of dynamism of
change of knowledge and information
that leads to lost of certain competencies by human. In such
circumstances, there is a problem of forming relevant competence of
self-identity which allows it to remain
competitive in the labor market and
facilitate to the process of self-realization.
