Abstract
This article presents a model of teacher's essential competencies as a manager in education. A teacher is an important link in the organization of educational communication of students as adult learners and in the education process direction. Because the duties of a modern university teacher grow, his professional competencies should include those of manager in education. Today the teacher needs a knowledge on general theory of management, on educational management fundamentals and on peculiarities of organizational, strategic and human resource management. The following methods are used to build a teacher competency model as manager in education: SWOT, PEST, content and comparative analyses, synthesis, 6 questions method, questionnaires and modeling. A teacher competency model should include such parameters as kinds of activities of the specialist, a context (level of the duties, degree of autonomy of action) and environment of these activities, competencies necessary to carry out such activities. The research showed 2 levels of profession's competencies (A and B group or cluster): A. 7 general competencies that are valid for all specialists in adult education sphere regardless of taken position and scope of activity (teaching, direction, consulting and management). B. Specific competencies directly related to education process (B1 – B6) and those that serve to support the education process (B7 – B12). On this basis (and other similar models), the educational activities for teachers may be organized within the university (summer schools and training modules during academic year, in the weekends or in their spare time). It is a good strategy for the university administration as to the teaching staff qualification that will inevitable have a positive influence on education process quality and on university's competitive ability at education market.
