Виховання педагогічної компетентності педагога на основі морального підходу у драмі Івана Франка «Учитель»

The article examines the problem of educating the pedagogical competence of a teacher, primarily of elementary and high school literature teachers, based on the moral approach of I. Franko's drama "The Teacher".It should be noted that it is not only about Ukrainian education, but about education in general, because the problems analyzed in scientific research have acquired a global scale. Indirectly, we also touch on the topic of the possibility of using an artistic text in the education of various competencies in students. Many criticisms have been made about education, that the school does not prepare students for a practical life. Criticism probably has a real basis, which every teacher feels and sees. The pedagogical community is looking to answer this, as well as to other urgent but still unresolved problems, with more or less success. The main goal of modern education is to provide students with practical knowledge, since the modern direction places the main emphasis on the acquisition of lexical knowledge.We are certainly talking about a good aspiration, but the question arises as to how we can achieve practical use of literature when it develops competencies that are contrary to the expectations of the age, such as ambition, recklessness, lack of restraint, indifference, cold calculation, etc. This is probably one of the biggest challenges that a teacher of literature has to face.Based on this piece, our opinion on the teaching of literature is: First step with great importance is to convey to the student, the future reader, what literature is, what its functions are, how it affects the formation of a person's personality, how its achievements are used in personal and social life. Secondimportant step is the appropriate selection and interpretation of the work, primarily taking the age group of the reader into account. To achieve this goal, a mandatory element is the teacher's preparation not only in scientific but also in moral terms.That is why we choosed Ivan Franko's work "The Teacher"as the source of our article's research, because in it the writer emphasizes not only the social and political conditions that negatively affects the education system and the solution of which are extremely important not only for the development of the individual, but for the nation as a whole, but it also expresses the moral conviction that a highly educated teacher, although he can pass on knowledge and educate the future generation, but to form a person whom God created in his own image and likeness, the teacher cannot, without following himself to high moral principles.
