A model for monitoring the process of forming professional competence of future special education teachers

Abstract

The article highlights the theoretically substantiated and developed model for monitoring the process
of forming professional competence of future special education teachers in Poltava National Pedagogical
University named after V.H. Korolenko (taking into account international standards ISO 9001:2015) and also
evaluates its effectiveness.
Professional training of future teachers of special education is considered to be a purposeful guided
process that ensures the formation of professional competence necessary for the implementation of their
professional activities.
The components of professional competence of a special education teacher that should be taken into
account when assessing the quality of their activities include motivational, cognitive, affective and conative
components, pedagogical abilities and professional personal qualities.
The result of the author's model of monitoring the process of forming professional competence of
future special education teachers consists in the outlined ways to implement the structural elements of this
model, which include purpose, content, technology and structure of the training system, teaching principles,
pedagogical skills of teachers.
This process was monitored according to a two-dimensional matrix model whose elements included
contracts analysis; management of design, documents and students’ preparation; identification and tracking;
management of processes, control and students who fall behind; forms and methods of keeping documents;
internal quality audit; training of teaching professionals who instruct future teachers of special education;
service; statistical methods. Its components included the quality of the result, content, technology,
evaluation, organization, and staff.
It is promising to further determine the optimal characteristics of professional competence of future
special education teachers in social (when considering the requirements of society to this phenomenon) and
structural aspects (when this competence is a set of interdependent elements with given characteristics).
