Research on the Problem of Forming a Multifaceted Image of a Future Teacher and his Value Dominants

Aim. To describe the results of the study of the problem of the modern teacher’s professional and personal characteristics formation; to identify the causes of the canonical image’s deformation and to propose socializing and acmeological strategies for educating students of a pedagogical direction at a language university, ensuring an increase in the effectiveness of professional and personal formation of a modern teacher as a subject of his life activity. Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis of the research is the educational concept of education and upbringing humanization (Malinin, 2024; Pribylova, 2023; Sorokovykh, 2024), based on the following scientific approaches: axiological (Galskova, 2023; Slastenin, 2024; Staritsyna, 2019; Yazykova, 2023), personality-oriented, the specifics of which lies in the “close interest towards the development of the student’s personality and individuality” (Pribylova, 2023). The above concepts, approaches and ideas allow us to comprehensively consider the problem of the formation of value dominants in the multifaceted image of a modern teacher as a symbiosis of linguistic, cultural, methodological, and social competencies aimed at developing the ability to teach, educate, develop, and socialize schoolchildren of all categories (Staritsyna, 2019). The article uses theoretical methods: analysis of linguistic, psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature related to professional-personality formation of a modern teacher’s image as well as empirical ones (surveys, questionnaires, conversations). Results. International Forum was held in December 2024, during which the multifaceted image of a modern teacher was presented, the problems of distorting his canonical image were revealed; the value meanings that dominate the future teacher were revealed; based on a survey of students of pedagogical universities in different regions of the country (Moscow, Kursk, Chelyabinsk, etc.), the problems related to his negative transformation were identified; the experience of foreign colleagues in training a foreign language teacher was analyzed, which can be useful and taken into account in domestic professional education; based on a theoretical analysis of the future teacher’s value dominants deformation causes, socializing and acmeological strategies for educating students of the pedagogical direction in a language university aimed at forming axiological values are proposed. Theoretical and/or practical significance . The scientific novelty of the present work lies in an integrated approach to the problem of the formation of value dominants in a future teacher, the development and holding of a scientific forum, which discussed issues related to the problem of the diversity of a modern teacher, identified socializing and acmeological strategies for the formation of the personality of a future teacher and recommendations for further resolution of accumulated issues on this topic. Conclusions. The problem of forming the axiological foundations of the professional and methodological training of future teachers today remains important and necessary, requiring an integrated approach to its resolution. The issues of creating value dominants in the image of a modern teacher include important aspects: professional values, moral and ethical, the use of innovative technologies as the basis for value interaction with all subjects of the educational process.
