Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to systematize pedagogical strategies for implementing a support system for the professional development of beginning university instructors. The objectives of the study are to examine theoretical approaches to supporting the professional activities of beginning university instructors, to identify pedagogical techniques effectively used in the educational process, and to develop recommendations for their implementation in higher education practice. Research methods and organization. The study employed the theoretical and methodological principles of domestic authors. The systematization of innovative approaches to supporting the professional activities of university lecturers was based on the works of foreign researchers. The methods used include historiographical analysis, data systematization, formal-logical analysis, and descriptive analysis. The methodological foundation of the study consists of historiographical analysis of scientific literature on the subject under investigation, the formal-logical method, system analysis, comparison, generalization, and systematization. Research results and conclusions. It has been established that the system for supporting the professional activities of beginning university instructors is implemented through certain pedagogical methods (mentoring, coaching, seminars). The successful application of these methods in the process of supporting beginning teachers requires adaptability to the individual needs of beginning instructors and the development of personalized professional development trajectories with the support of a mentor. The systematic implementation of methods for supporting professional activities is necessary to improve the quality of education and to train highly qualified specialists in the field of higher education pedagogy.
