Transformation of subject training of physics teacher during a change in the educational format

Background and Objectives: The change in the format of education in the main areas of training in higher educational institutions of the country, carried out after the signing of the Bologna Convention in 2003, marked a significant change in the practice of training university graduates. The main goal of the work is to analyze the transformation of a teacher’s subject training during the transition from five-year training in specialty programs to a two-stage bachelor’s + master’s degree system using the example of physics teacher training. Results: Data are provided on the expenditure of educational time on studying physics, mathematics and teaching methods in one- and two-stage systems, as well as the share contribution of specialization disciplines to the total expenditure of educational time. There was a decrease in the level of competence of a bachelor compared to the competence of a specialist in terms of subject training. Conclusion: The necessity of maintaining high standards of training in the main specialty while developing a new education strategy for the formation of teachers who meet the requirements of the time has been shown. In this regard, the emerging trend towards creating a qualitatively new format of education in the direction of 44.03.01 “Pedagogical Education”, accumulating the existing positive experience in training specialists and a practice-oriented approach to training seems timely and promising.
