- Abstract
The article discusses the problem of developing universal competencies of future teachers (using the example of preschool teachers) in a pedagogical university’s educational process. The ambiguity of the “21st century skills” concept and the absence of a single list of such skills are concluded. Their relevance for the teaching profession and the training through universal competencies in Russian higher education standards have been substantiated. The results of an empirical study of future preschool teachers on self-assessment of the development of universal competencies and their significance for the teaching activity are presented. It is shown that the level of development of universal competencies lags behind the level of significance. The deficiencies of such development are highlighted, including the group of such universal competencies as “Development and Implementation of Projects” and “Teamwork and Leadership” and “Self-Organisation and Self-Development” as the most critical and most pronounced competency. The ways of further solution of the stated problem using universal competencies assessment through training modules and substantiation of appropriate educational technologies are outlined.
