Highlights
Competence is one of the key erudition qualities of a teacher of a tertiary educational institution
In the course of revealing the practical features of the professional competences’ formation and development of Jurisprudence educators, we should focus on the results of the study presented by the global trade union - Education International
It is worth noting that the level of prestige of the tertiary educational institution, where educators carry out their professional activities, depends on the level of professional competence of Jurisprudence educators
Summary
Competence is one of the key erudition qualities of a teacher of a tertiary educational institution. Studies prove that competence is the trait of an educator that indicates the appropriate level of knowledge, as well as the acquired skills and practical abilities that he / she possesses and properly directs to the learning process (Siri, Supartha, Sukaatmadja & Rahyuda, 2020). “Teachers’ competence in educational assessment is a key feature in teacher professionalism” (DeLuca, Schneider, Coombs, Pozas & Rasooli, 2020). There is a dilemma in the development process of professional competences: professional skills require development, but soft skills are becoming increasingly important.
