STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING PERSONAL QUALITIES OF FUTURE TEACHERS BASED ON “THE LIFELONG LEARNING” CONCEPT

Abstract

This study explores strategies for cultivating the personal qualities of future teachers through the lens of the lifelong learning concept. Lifelong learning is essential for educators to continually adapt to the evolving demands of the education landscape. The paper examines key qualities such as adaptability, resilience, curiosity, and empathy, which are crucial for effective teaching in diverse contexts. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and practical approaches, the study suggests various strategies to foster these qualities in pre-service teachers. These strategies encompass experiential learning, mentorship programs, reflective practices, and interdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating these strategies into teacher education programs, institutions can better prepare future educators to thrive in dynamic educational environments and contribute positively to student learning outcomes.
