INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL COMPETENCE AND PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN FUTURE TEACHERS.

Аннотация

In the 21st century, teacher education must equip future teachers with advanced cognitive and professional skills. This article examines how recent pedagogical innovations – especially technology-enhanced and competency-based approaches – can develop intellectual competence and professional intelligence in pre-service teachers. Intellectual competence is understood as the analytic, creative, and critical thinking skills that underlie effective teaching. Professional intelligence (or professional thinking) refers to the domain-specific cognitive flexibility and problem-solving ability that enables teachers to respond adaptively to classroom challenges. We review theoretical foundations of these constructs and then describe innovative teaching strategies (e.g. blended/flipped learning, gamification, collaborative learning, project-based learning) that foster them.
