Formation of Professional Competence of a Specialist in a Globalized World: Contemporary Problems and Prospects

Abstract

The article aims to consider the formation of global professional competence of students of pedagogical universities, which is the key to the effective professional education of future teachers. In the course of the study, pedagogical conditions are proposed for presenting innovative technologies to form the professional competence of specialists. The level of global dependence is frequently growing, which dictates the need for the training of qualified teaching staff that could effectively solve emerging global problems and take an active position in the society of globalization. In this regard, there is a need to form the global professional competence of students of pedagogical universities, which is the key to effective professional education for prospective teachers. A key element of global professional competence is productive communication, including international communication, which becomes possible by mastering at least one foreign language. Building contacts in a foreign language is one of the global professional competencies and determines success in professional activities after obtaining professional education. Thus, one of the tasks of professional education in training future teachers as part of the formation of competence is the formation and development of the skills required for fruitful intercultural communication, as well as for understanding and accepting representatives of other cultures through transdisciplinary and post-disciplinary approaches.
