Teaching Competency in Modern Higher Education: Integrative Pedagogical Practices and Professional Growth

Аннотация

Teaching competency is increasingly recognized as a core factor in ensuring the quality of

higher education. Modern teachers are expected to combine subject knowledge with

pedagogical flexibility, communicative effectiveness, technological literacy, and reflective

skills. The purpose of this article is to examine the structure of teaching competency and

to analyse practical pedagogical strategies that support its development. Special attention

is given to integrative and practice-oriented teaching models that connect theory with

classroom realities.
