Summary
The professional role of the 21st-century teacher is examined in the context of ongoing educational reforms. The teacher is conceptualized as an active facilitator who supports the development of learners’ critical and creative thinking skills. Teacher training is identified as a strategic component in improving the overall quality of education. Key dimensions of pedagogical activity include instructional practice, social collaboration, and continuous professional growth. Lifelong learning and in-service training are emphasized as essential mechanisms for meeting contemporary educational demands. The scientific novelty lies in redefining the teacher’s role from a traditional instructor to a facilitator of learning.
