In the study, the technology of work with cases in quasi-professional training of prospective teachers was designed and the results of academic progress were monitored. The designed technology of work on cases was based on the principles of the competent education. The diagnostic methods were chosen in accordance with the goals of the study experiment that allowed monitoring the dynamics of the researched qualities. The expert evaluation was based on the developed scale of 10 in accordance with the cognitive levels: knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The experiment has proved that forming and control the competencies with the help of designed technology are more productive that allows making a conclusion about its productivity as well as the effectiveness of created pedagogical conditions. The technology of work with cases in quasi-professional training of prospective teachers includes methods and forms of studying, the description of students’ and teacher’s activity, and has the following components: a target, tasks, the organizational and pedagogical conditions, the informative component, the diagnostics and control, the structure of interaction, the technological component, and the effectiveness. The realization of case technology can be presented at three stages: the preparatory stage, the executive stage, the reflexive stages, which are described by the target, methods and forms, the students’ activity, forming competencies, the teacher’s activity, and control of results. The experimental study of implementing technology of using the case method in the educational process was conducted on the basis of Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky State Pedagogical University among pre-service teachers (96 participants) during two semesters while studying the course of Pedagogics.

Nowadays every European knowledge-based society demands a highly qualified, competent workforce being able to adjust to modern innovative production. To educate such specialists is the aim of contemporary teachers. So efficient and innovative pedagogic education becomes an integral part of the European education system. The article deals with the analysis of problem-based technology in the modern system of Danish teacher training in pedagogical higher educational institutions. Analyzing works of European scientists and problem-based model of teacher education in Denmark, working with university and college programs and documents we came to the conclusion that principles of problem-based technology in professional teacher training are similar in the whole European educational environment and in general they may be described as an approach to learning and instruction that has the following characteristics: 1) the use of problems as the starting point for learning, 2) small-group collaboration, 3) flexible guidance of a tutor, 4) student-initiated learning, 5) time availability for self-study. The findings imply that well-designed problem-based learning may lead to better educational results. Multiple sources in Ukrainian, European, and Danish educational environments at various time points from 1990 till 2020 have been used in data collection for this study. Pedagogic education in Ukraine requires a substantial adjustment at the legislative, structural, and technological levels. European experience in this sphere of teacher education modernization can become a valuable asset of the comparative pedagogic science. This practice will lead to effective technological change in teacher professional training in Ukraine.
