Abstract

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to search for the content of the teacher’s research competence in the context of reforming the education system and introducing the New Ukrainian School. The purpose of the study is to define the idea of research competence of the teacher in the conditions of implementation of the research paradigm of education development. It has been established that in the education system a new paradigm is being approved – the research one, which concentrates on ensuring the unity of the educational and research processes. This approach will allow students to systematically cover research work, both, in the framework of individual academic subjects and studies, which will be based on interdisciplinary connections. As a result, this will ensure the mastery of the methods of self-acquisition and assimilation of knowledge by students and will bring to a new level of demand of the formation of an individual research trajectory in teachers in their professional activities. The analysis of scientific information allowed establishing that research competence is part of the key. It is proved that the formation of the research competence of teachers is a necessary condition for their formation in the New Ukrainian School. An analysis of the interpretation of the concept showed that most definitions do not take into account the personality of the researcher, thereby leveling the essence of the competence approach. The article presents the formulation of the author’s definition of the concept “research competence of the teacher”, which is understood by integrating the self-professional quality, reflecting the motivation for scientific research, proficiency in the methodology of research practice, maturity of personality-relevant qualities as conditions for the realization of their individual research path and attractant system for students for teaching and research work. Research methods: theoretical. The theoretical meaning consists in the formation of the author’s definition of the concept “teacher’s research competence”. Practical value: materials can be used in the process of preparing teachers for the implementation of research activities.
