Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to show a theoretical and empirical analysis of the teachers’ readiness to effective execution of pedagogical activities of various scope. Based on the carried out initial diagnosis with a survey carried out among the students of teaching departments at selected higher education schools of the Podkarpacie Region, we may speak of partial readiness of the candidates to that profession and of the need to further develop it. Most of all, the respondents do not feel ready to write their own programmes, diagnose needs of their pupils, develop their potential, organize help and support, solve disputes between and conflicts of the pupils, implement changes and innovations at schools. This is why it is so important to carry out a systematic research with specified methods and tools to assess professional readiness according to the determined criteria so that institutions providing education for teachers could be critical in assessing their work, apply job-related selection and get reformed effectively.
