Abstract

Modern social processes are characterized by a global trend towards the priority of fundamental educational needs in the formation of a developed personality with significant intellectual and creative potential. The article provides a general description of the main pedagogical conditions for the formation of future vocational education teachers’ pedagogical tolerance by means of interdisciplinary integration, as well as the features of the structural and functional model for the process. The purpose of the article is to characterize the theoretical foundations and conditions for the formation of future vocational education teachers’ pedagogical tolerance, with the involvement of means of interdisciplinary integration, as well as a description of the structural and functional model for the process. Research methods. During the implementation of the research, a number of general scientific research methods were used, in particular, methods of analysis, synthesis, concretization and formalization, abstraction, induction and deduction, comparison. Results. It is determined that among the main vectors for modernizing the national system of vocational education is the optimization of the process of theoretical and practical training of future teachers.

Conclusions. The study highlights the main provisions of modern legal acts that legitimize the need to transform the algorithms for training future vocational education teachers, as well as the conceptual foundations for organizing the educational process in higher education. In addition, the basic principles of implementation and development of interdisciplinary integration of the educational process are characterized.
