Abstract

The scientific article examines in detail the concepts, characteristics, and factors influencing the professional development of teachers. The subject matter of a teacher’s professional activity within an educational institution is defined, and the regulatory and legal framework regulating this process is analyzed. Special attention is given to the conditions that enable educators to realize their professional competence and to the clarification of the concept of «professional development of a teacher». The article highlights both external and internal factors of professional growth and examines the role of self-management in organizing and activating teachers’ professional activity. The essence of pedagogical self-management and its components are determined, while the relationship between motivation and professional development is thoroughly explored. Particular focus is placed on the sources of motivation of pedagogical workers, with an emphasis on the mechanisms of internal motivation for teaching activities. The levels of motivation for professional self-improvement are outlined, and the crisis factors affecting teacher motivation are analyzed. Furthermore, the article identifies the factors shaping the motivational environment within educational institutions, including adaptation, authority, and paternalism. It considers the competence of self-management as a key component in the process of motivating teachers for professional growth. The content and distinctive features of teachers’ self-management, which contribute to their professional advancement through self-directed activity and the pursuit of success, are presented. Finally, recommendations are offered to increase teachers’ motivation for professional development through the effective application of self-management principles. These include the use of positive incentives, the setting of realistic and progressive goals for continuous self-improvement, and the creation of a supportive and stimulating professional environment.
