Modelling of Individual Professional Becoming of College Teachers

Summary/Abstract: In pursuance of the reform of higher education in Lithuania, the binary system of higher education was implemented, i.e. higher schools of two types – universities and colleges – came into existence. Colleges were established on the basis of former higher schools, however their pedagogical personnel remained the same. Over four years the potential of college teachers has distinctly increased. On purpose to implement the requirements for the teachers of higher schools, the college teachers improved their qualification and scientific competence.

It is also impossible without the expression of professional individuality, which actualises the potential of humanistic education. The processes of individual professional becoming of college teachers are still unexplored, but they constantly stimulate scientists’ interest, as a teacher is progressively treated according to his/her peculiarity, individuality and individual style. Educational basics of individual professional becoming of college teachers are analysed in the article.
