Abstract
This article delineates the current aspects of the professional training for teachers in the field of natural education, particularly examining the nuances of implementing a competency-oriented approach in ensuring the educational process in higher education institutions. It is substantiated that, in accordance with the “New Ukrainian School” Concept, one of the most prominent technologies in natural education is competency-oriented learning, aimed at fostering creative and critical thinking among participants in the educational process. The work highlights a number of researchers in the field of natural education (biology, chemistry, physics) whose scientific works are focused on exploring the theoretical and methodological aspects of the competency-oriented approach in the educational process. The main factors of competency-oriented learning, constituting a practical component of the professional preparation of teachers in natural sciences, are analyzed. These factors include the use of model situations and problem-solving tasks, individualization of teaching, active implementation of interactive methods, engagement in research activities, and the utilization of digital resources. Examples of applying competency-oriented teaching technology in educational courses, specifically “Zoology”, for Bachelor’s programs in Secondary Education (Biology and Human Health) and Secondary Education (Natural Sciences) at the Hryhoriy Skovoroda University in Pereyaslav are provided. These examples aim to develop critical thinking and the ability to solve creative tasks, work in teams, and communicate effectively. The effectiveness of incorporating digital resources, such as virtual laboratories (Biology Virtual Laboratory, Virtual Labs, PhET Interactive Simulations, etc.), and digital tools (Kahoot, AR book, LearningApps, Mozaik, BioInteractive, Classtime, QR code technologies) in the educational process of professional training for teachers in the field of natural education is justified. The research findings affirm that the application of the competency-oriented approach in shaping the readiness of future specialists contributes to the development of their ability to conduct experimental research, solve problematic situations in contemporary conditions, model biological, physical, and chemical phenomena, possess computer literacy, and keep pace with digital advancements.
