Peculiarities of sweden’s teacher training system in the XXI century

Abstract

The article highlights the features of the system of teacher training in Sweden in the XXI century in relation to European integration processes. The legislative and regulatory framework has been analysed. It has been established that the degree of Bachelor/Master of Education should be replaced by four professional degrees: a degree in pre-school education, a degree in primary school education, a degree in subject education and a degree in vocational education. It has been determined that all teacher training programs consist of three education areas: general education, study of disciplines of a certain field of knowledge, specialisation subjects. It has been revealed that special attention is paid to practical training. It is emphasized that the system of modern pedagogical education in Sweden is generally harmonized in accordance with European standards, flexible enough for professional and individual development of the individual throughout life.
