Prospective forms and methods of training general education teachers to assist schoolchildren in their career guidance

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The need to train teachers to assist schoolchildren in career guidance is actualized. The goal is defined, which is to scientifically substantiate the problem of applying the forms and methods of training teachers of general educational organizations to assist schoolchildren's career guidance. The literature review is carried out, revealing the degree of development of this problem. It is stated that in scientific periodicals there are some grounds for the deployment of teacher training in the context of the problem under study. However, questions remain open about the use of modern forms and methods used in additional professional education, including formal and informal ways of advanced training. The methodological bases are: the idea of taking into account objective and subjective factors affecting the effectiveness of the advanced training system; the principles put forward in the andragogical approach; the provision of the acmeological approach, which implies a focus on the innovative nature of teachers' activities. As the results of the research, a description of the forms and active methods of training teachers of general educational organizations to assist in children's career guidance is offered. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the description of methodological foundations that serve as the basis for the development of criteria and algorithm for the selection of forms and methods of advanced training of teachers of general educational organizations in terms of their training to assist schoolchildren's career guidance. Theoretical significance lies in the development of ideas about improving the quality of formal and informal advanced training of teachers, based on scientifically based, expedient application of forms and methods of additional professional education. It is assumed that the results of the research have practical relevance and will find application in the design and implementation of course training and internal organizational training of teachers of general educational organizations, aimed at assisting in the career guidance of schoolchildren. The conditions for the implementation of this process, related to the professional competence of teachers of institutions of additional professional education, are discussed. The main conclusions of the research are presented in the conclusion.
