INTEGRATED APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL FUNCTIONS OF A TEACHER IN THE SYSTEM OF CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Abstract

This article presents the theoretical and methodological rationale and description of the continuing professional education program "Integrated Teacher Development in a Digital Educational Environment." Its relevance stems from the transformation of teachers' professional activities in the context of digitalization of education and modern requirements for their competence, including the need to develop metacompetencies, digital culture, and ethical responsibility. The novelty of the study lies in the development of a unique program model in which integrated development is presented as a systemic process, including the formation of a digital culture and the development of readiness to design the educational process, taking into account global trends and the developmental characteristics of modern children and adolescents. The program is aimed at the systemic, comprehensive development of teachers' professional functions and is based on integrative, meta-subject, and competency-based approaches. The article describes the program's structural modules, principles of its design, and the organizational and pedagogical conditions for its implementation. It is concluded that the developed program can be effective in the system of advanced training for teaching staff in the context of the digital era.
