Abstract

In the conditions of modern challenges, it is important to understand what values form the pedagogical worldview of the future teacher, determine the value orientations and ideological attitudes of the teacher. Based on the content analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, there was created a theoretical model of professional development of a teacher, the key levels of this process are described, and its components are highlighted. The analysis of the data obtained as a result of pedagogical specialties students’ survey, and further systematization of the received responses, made it possible to identify the priority values of future teachers and give key characteristics of the main four axiotypes of modern teachers. An attempt was also made to form a portrait of a modern teacher taking into account the dominant axiotype.
