Theoretical foundations of the regional training program "Education in conflict" for teachers' professional development

Abstract

The article is focused on the problem of helping instructors improve their professional abilities when dealing with conflict. The research's objectives are to support the theoretical underpinnings of the course and to create the content of a new training program for the professional advancement of Ukrainian teachers. The content of the professional development training program for teachers is based on a variety of scientific methods at many levels, including philosophic, general scientific, specifically scientific, and pedagogical approaches. This is where the scientific novelty of the research lies. We pay particular attention to the need of guaranteeing children's safety and their access to an education in times of war. The following modules make up the program's content: "Children's problems caused by armed conflict"; "Education in conflict: the essence, standards (on the information from UNISEF and UNESCO)"; and "Ways of implementation education in war in Ukraine." The study's recommendations for teaching strategies and the multidisciplinary nature of the regional training program "Education in Conflict" are what give it its practical value.
