Abstract

The article provides definitions of the concept of “professional-pedagogical worldview”, proposed by various researchers in a very small number of works devoted to the study into that intra-personal phenomenon. Based on the analysis of the definitions, the authors conclude that the content of the teacher's professional training should cover not only the psychological, pedagogical, methodological and technological aspects of future professional activity, but also the socioeconomic, legal and political aspects and the grounds for integrating their professional activity into the modern world picture. According to the authors of the article, a significant resource for the development of the professional and pedagogical worldview in Master’s students may be the course “Education in the context of modern socio-economic processes”.
