Concept development factors and conditions for improving the professional teacher statsus

Abstract

The problem of teachers’ professional status is becoming important all over the world. The teacher’s professional status is considered as teacher’s status in the society (among colleagues, in the system of education). It is defined by the results of teacher’s professional activity which is the demonstration of some inner characteristics. The results researches showed low quality of education in Ukraine and this proves teachers’ low professional status. To improve the existing situation we think that it is necessary to improve teacher education programs, to put additional investments into those programs; to reward teachers for good work results, and not to analyze teachers’ work with respect to the number of classes held in some period. It is also necessary to improve educational programs in pedagogical universities according to word tendencies in education. Ukraine has to take part in different international researches on quality of education and take actions with respect to the results of these researches. People’s attitude to teachers’ profession has to be changed, the prestige of teachers’ work has to grow.
