Abstract

The article analyses the possibilities and specifics of implementing teacher retraining programmes. It emphasises that retraining should be viewed as a comprehensive professional process that ensures conscious and high-quality adaptation of trainees to teaching activities. The key stages of course organisation are considered. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the level of teachers’ professional competence and students’ academic performance, as well as the influence of the quality of teacher training on the educational culture of the school, cognitive motivation, and students’ interest in the subject, as documented in the scientific literature.

Key words: pedagogical retraining, professional competence, motivation, school culture
