Abstract

The article deals with the problem of modern approaches to teacher training in the context of its quality assurance. The concept of ‘innovation’ is defined and the system of classification is introduced on the grounds of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical resources. Ensuring qualitative education means innovative processes of pedagogical practice development, as well as purposeful managerial influence on the system of professional training, significant corrections of its content and way of performance of pedagogical intuitions, i.e. educational system transferring to perform on new grounds. Organizational innovations happening in the organization of the educational process of higher education institutions are analyzed alongside content innovations reflected in the content of teacher training (new educational programmes, introduction of new disciplines, modern courses, integration of subjects, development of methodologies, etc.). Technological innovations include introducing new teaching forms and methods, assessment approaches (testing, rating); use of modern information technologies in the process of teacher training. Building professional competency, individual and professional qualities, the capacity to work and live in an innovative pace is exclusively important for future teachers. Effective forms and methods of teaching future teachers are introduced.
