Formation of intercultural competence of future music teachers

Abstract

The international standards of higher education establish a wide range of competencies for graduates from artistic pedagogical institutions. Art education, as defined in normative concepts, aims to cultivate in future teachers personal and value-based attitudes toward reality and art, fostering their abilities for self-fulfillment, spiritual self-improvement, and intercultural competence. Intercultural competence, described in contemporary scientific literature from various perspectives, is depicted as a dynamic and integrated quality within an individual. It encompasses a meaningful worldview, communication practices, and productive conduct within a multicultural society. The purpose of this academic paper is to identify the factors and characteristics involved in shaping the intercultural components of competence among future music teachers. Through the research findings, the most significant theoretical aspects concerning the development of intercultural competence among future art teachers have been delineated. The components of intercultural skills have been systematically organized, and trends in the advancement of these skills within the educational milieu have been outlined. Drawing upon an analysis of effective curriculum content, this academic paper outlines the key types of skills necessary for education seekers. These skills play a pivotal role in guiding educational activities within artistic pedagogical institutions, fostering intercultural competencies, and nurturing the socio-cultural competence of aspiring music teachers.
