Competencies of the Modern Physics Teacher: New Requirements and Development Paths

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the competencies of the modern physics teacher, new pedagogical and technological requirements, and ways to develop them. Within the framework of the article, the importance of continuously updating and improving teachers' professional knowledge, skills, and qualifications is highlighted against the backdrop of rapid changes in the education system, scientific progress, and the widespread use of digital technologies. The article also examines how educators adapt to the modern educational environment, master innovative methods and technologies, and organize an effective learning process considering the individual characteristics of students. It presents extensive information on the competency system of modern physics teachers, their continuous professional development, and their role in improving education quality. This process encompasses not only the teacher’s theoretical knowledge but also practical skills, pedagogical mastery, and personal growth. As a result, the article aims to establish theoretical and practical foundations for training and developing qualified, innovative, and effective physics teachers who meet contemporary educational demands.
