Assessing the professional sustainability of pre-service teachers in a digital educational environment: approaches, methodologies and interpretations

Abstract

The transformation of the modern education system in the context of digitalization necessitates the need for teachers with a high level of adaptability and professional resilience. The relevance of this study stems from the need to find tools for assessing the professional readiness of pre-service teachers in a digital educational environment. The aim of this article is to provide a scientific justification for approaches to assessing the professional resilience of pre-service teachers and to verify methods for interpreting the data obtained.

This article explores the theoretical and methodological foundations for developing professional resilience as an integrative personality trait. The study's scientific significance lies in its systematization of approaches to defining the term "professional resilience in teachers" by various scholars. The research methodology is based on an integrated approach combining a systematic literature review, diagnostic methods, and pedagogical modeling. The main result of the study is the development of a diagnostic framework that includes cognitive, motivational-value, and operational-technological criteria. The study identified the levels of students’ professional resilience and offered the author's interpretations of the diagnostic results.

The research's scientific novelty lies in the theoretical substantiation of the concept of "teacher professional resilience" as it applies to the digital educational environment and the development of a criteria-based and diagnostic research framework that enables a comprehensive assessment of pre-service teachers' readiness for the digital educational environment. The practical significance of the research results lies in the potential application of the proposed tools in university practice to adjust educational trajectories and predict the professional resilience of pre-service teachers.
