TOLERANCE FORMATION OF FUTURE VOCATIONAL TEACHERS IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Introduction. The humanisation of education involves creating conditions aimed at revealing and developing human abilities and positive self-realisation, based on respect for the person, determining the goals, content, organisation and means of their life, as well as the nature of interaction with the environment. The humanisation of education requires special attention to establishing effective interaction between participants in the educational process. The effectiveness of the educational process in educational institutions largely depends on the professionalism of the teacher and the choice of their pedagogical position. Given this, such a quality of a future teacher as tolerance is of particular importance, which will contribute to successful adaptation to the teaching staff, and establishing contacts with colleagues and students during the further professional activity. Building tolerance is an urgent problem. Tolerance is one of the conditions for the professional training of future teachers. However, in research, the problem of forming future vocational teachers' patience in higher education institutions has not yet become the subject of dedicated study. Purpose. The article aims to characterise the ways and conditions of the formation of tolerance of future vocational teachers in vocational (vocational-technical) education institutions. Methods. Literature analysis, analogy, induction and deduction, questionnaire, expert evaluation were used. Results. The process of forming a teacher's tolerance includes the following stages: a) pre-professional (the period before entering a higher education institution) – forming the foundations of tolerance in the family and school (in the process of study and extracurricular activities); b) educational (the period of studying at a higher education institution) – mastering the basics of tolerance during classes (in psychological and pedagogical, special (professional) and humanitarian and socio-economic disciplines), pedagogical practice, interaction with colleagues and mentors during independent and extracurricular work, participation in the activities of public organisations; c) professional (postgraduate) – improving tolerance in the process of adaptation to various types of activities, etc. Originality. The novelty of the work is to substantiate the role of tolerance as a professionally important quality of a future vocational teacher and the importance of its formation during vocational training. Conclusion. Tolerance is a necessary professional quality of a future vocational teacher. The successful formation of future teachers' tolerance can be achieved if the following conditions are provided in the educational process: organisation of a tolerant educational environment; purposeful work with teachers on tolerant attitudes towards students; strengthening the tolerant component of the content and process of studying the discipline of the psychological and pedagogical cycle; organisation of training on tolerant behaviour of students.
