ECONOMIC MECHANISMS FOR MOTIVATING TEACHERS TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The issue of motivating teachers for continuous professional development is becoming especially relevant in the context of digitalization of education, updated federal standards, and growing quality demands in teaching. The article examines economic mechanisms that can enhance educators’ interest in advanced training. Existing forms of direct and indirect incentives are analyzed, alongside institutional barriers and effective compensation models based on achievements in professional growth. Particular attention is paid to integrating funding tools with career development programs, digital support instruments, and strategies to improve the quality of the educational environment. Recommendations are proposed for building a sustainable system of economic incentives as a component of university personnel policy and the broader educational system.
