| Summary: | The article examines the problem of the teacher’s professional growth due to continuous selfeducation and personal development in the conditions of martial law.
The aim of the article is to outline the pathways of self-educational activities for teachers and the
approaches to enhancing the professional level of educators, implemented at Alfred Nobel University under
martial law conditions.
In the course of the research, methods of analogy, retrospective and semantic analysis, SWOT
analysis, generalization, and specification of scientific principles and the regulatory framework related to
teacher self-education were employed.
A SWOT analysis of interpretations of the concept of “self-education” was conducted, and it was found
that self-education is a necessary component of professional activity which is determined by social order
and is a factor in the personal and professional growth of a specialist. Emphasis is placed on self-education
of the teacher as the leading form of improvement of pedagogical skill and professional competence, which
consists in assimilation, renewal, dissemination and deepening of knowledge, generalization of experience
through purposeful, systematic self-education activities aimed at self-development and self-improvement
of the individual, satisfaction of personal interests and objective needs of the educational institution.
It was found that the conditions of the martial law in Ukraine and changes in educational orientations
made corrections both in the content of teachers’ self-education and in the forms and types of their
self-education activities. Some approaches to raising the professional level of a teacher, which were
implemented at Alfred Nobel University under martial law conditions, namely acquiring competencies to
preserve and restore mental health, providing psychological support to participants in the educational
process, improving information competence, implementing effective ways to improve the quality of
education in online learning, and mastering new learning/teaching methods, are considered. The content
of the developed and implemented comprehensive program of care for human mental health, including a
marathon of online meetings with domestic specialists and lecturers from European countries, aimed at
mastering the competencies to ensure one’s own psychological health and improve the psycho-emotional
state of higher education students in wartime conditions, is disclosed.
The expediency of particular directions of development has been substantiated including teachers’
mastering various software, the ability to work on various educational platforms, and the use of interactive
applications; cooperation and interaction with domestic and foreign higher education institutions in order
to gain experience for the further implementation of the best European practices in the educational process;
internships, participation in international projects, thanks to which teachers found and implemented
effective ways to improve the quality of education in online learning, and mastered new methods of
learning/ teaching.
The feasibility of implementing special measures to support the self-educational activities of teachers
under martial law conditions has been confirmed, with a focus on the targeted development of key
professional competencies related to continuous professional self-development.
The conclusions emphasise the need for purposeful self-education of the teacher, thanks to which a
new invaluable experience of providing quality education in wartime conditions is formed. |
