Abstract (English): The dissertation by Yerbol Sarmurzin on the topic "Pedagogical conditions of developing managerial competence offuture pedagogues", submitted for the degree of Philosophy Doctor (PhD) in the educational program "8D01103 - Pedagogy and Psychology." The relevance of the research is determined by changes in the global economic and political situation, which require adaptation to a competitive environment and set new requirements for the formation of a modern personality, education, and training. These changes pose new tasks for human capital and the quality of education. The goal is to adapt the education system to the requirements of the present time, in accordance with the priorities of socio-economic development. The modern educational paradigm in the educational process is based on the formation of a professionally competence of a citizen, fully mastering skills, engaging in social life, creativity, and constantly developing, capable of independently seeking information and differentiating it. According to the rules of the labor market, the education system should not only provide a person with knowledge but also create a need for continuous learning and independent research, contributing to the development of independent knowledge acquisition. In the education system, new trends and changes are observed, aimed at meeting these requirements. In our country, as in other countries of the world, significant measures are being taken to improve its own education system in accordance with modern requirements, strengthen international ties in the field of education, and enter the international educational arena. The reform of the education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan is aimed, first of all, at increasing the competitiveness of future specialists studying in higher educational institutions, in accordance with global integration. These reforms in the field of domestic education are one of the main positions of the country's strategic development. It is necessary to improve the quality of education for pre service teachers so that they can meet a wide range of requirements and duties aimed at providing quality education in accordance with modern requirements. One of the innovations contributing to achieving a higher quality level in the education system is the training of teachers who can make their own decisions in accordance with the requirements of today's time and are capable of solving any complex tasks, carrying professional and managerial responsibilities. Ensuring the level of education while coordinating the educational process in a new formation in accordance with the requirements of the time contributes to increasing responsibility for free entry into the global education arena. The concept of "competence," actively used in the education system of developed countries, is also intensively applied in the education system of our country in accordance with the new educational standard. The main reason for this is that bringing educational organizations into line with modern requirements and coordinating their work in a productive direction is only possible under the guidance of educated and highly qualified managers. To improve the quality level of education, it is important to prepare specialists capable of appropriately coordinating the educational process and possessing professional managerial competence. The modernization of the modern educational process makes the long-term needs of personality development for society and the state more evident. Because the economic success of developed countries is closely related to the high productivity of the education system. Today, various reforms are being carried out in the higher education system worldwide. First of all, there is a need to urgently organize changes in the organization, provide new quality services, develop the economy in accordance with the process of globalization, competition, and growing demand. In addition, there is a tendency to give priority attention to the quality of human resources and intellectual labor in organizations. Changes in the pace of socio-economic development require everyone to orient towards the future, plan life and professional prospects, and manage. Therefore, in the science and practice of pedagogy, the management of an individual pedagogical process is considered on a scientific basis, and the tendency to use scientific research and solutions as the basis of leadership is strengthened. Based on the experience of educational systems of developed and advanced countries, it is clear that along with belief in the leadership potential and professional qualifications of teachers, emphasis is placed on improving managerial abilities. The formation of managerial competence in future teachers will contribute to achieving the main goal of improving education - improving the quality of teaching, designing the educational process, and ensuring the professional development of the teacher. On the one hand, the country's education system is developing based on the conditions of educational trends in the context of globalization in accordance with the international educational process. On the other hand, from a market perspective, there is an opportunity for the foundation of the country's economy, as well as for the commercialization of knowledge. Within the framework of the concept of higher education and science development in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2023-2029, attention is focused on the need for the freedom of higher educational institutions, attracting talented personnel to universities and scientific institutions, and developing the level of knowledge and competencies. Special importance is given to global competencies as the basis of modernity of the higher educational institution, aimed at advanced technologies and the economy of the future. This implies the development of educational programs that meet modern challenges. In the preparation of future educators, it is important to ensure not only quality education but also conscious upbringing. It is particularly relevant to call for honesty based on the concept of "Adal Azamat" (Honest Citizen). With this concept, future educators, by developing their moral qualities, will be ready to advocate for honesty and moral values in society. The head of state, Kassym-JomartKemeluly Tokayev, describes the concept of "Honest Citizen" as follows: "patriotism, morality, striving for knowledge, being a true professional, frugality, hard work, dedication to the country and land should be above all. A person who embodies all these virtues." At the third national Kurultai in the city of Atyrau, the head of state noted that the concepts of Honest Person - Honest Work - Honest Income are closely linked and form the basis for transforming into an advanced country, supplementing the concept of an honest citizen with the following definition: "An honest citizen is a person who possesses good qualities, works honestly, and achieves success in an honest way. That is, puts honesty and justice above all. To become an advanced nation, the entire society must change its consciousness and strengthen new values. If every person is worthy of the title 'Honest Citizen,' a just society will be established in our country." The concept of an honest citizen originates from AbaiKunanbayev's concept of a "complete person." AbaiKunanbayev says: "Aspiration, work, deep thought, contentment, mercy, thoughtful action - five precious deeds, if you agree," naming the main principles of the concept of an honest person. These principles are the basis for the professional development and educational work of future educators. The honesty, diligence, ability to think deeply, contentment, and mercy of educators influence their role model for students and the development of their personalities. Therefore, in preparing future educators, special attention should be paid to the development of their professional and human qualities, taking these qualities into account. In the context of these challenges, the higher education system emphasizes the need to develop a new pedagogical design of the educational process with elements of digital technologies. This defines the priority directions of the wide use of modern trends in the training of future teachers. Today, it is evident that innovations and changes in the domestic education system depend on the work of each teacher with new ideas and a new system. The quality of education and the upbringing of a competitive personality depend on the level of training of future teachers in the education system. The basis of multilevel reforms in the education system of our country is to increase the competitiveness of specialists being prepared in higher educational institutions in accordance with global integration. Therefore, one of the most pressing issues is the training of professionally competent specialists capable of leading a new direction of development of the quality of education in educational institutions preparing future teachers. In accordance with the requirements of the time, the teacher should be able to solve managerial-pedagogical tasks in the education process, possess leadership qualities, be able to manage the development process of the educational process, and be able to effectively plan, organize a team, and conduct control. For this, the future teacher must possess a high level of managerial competence. The degree of study of the problem. The foundations of the methodological theory of management were laid by such researchers as F.W.Taylor, H.Fayol, P.F.Drucker, and E.Mayo. In the field of education management, the works of R.Zhelvis, Y.A.Konarzhevsky, V.S.Lazarev, and M.M.Potashnik are distinguished. The general theoretical foundations of professional responsibility were studied by E.V.Bondarevskaya, N.V.Kuzmina, and P.Lepnepp. Research in this area has been conducted for a long time. Foreign scientists such as A.VKhutorskoy and I.A.Zimnaya studied the problems of competency-based learning. The works of national researchers on the formation of professional competence of teachers in professional training deserve special attention. Thus, the psychological foundations of professional training of teachers in higher education institutions were considered in the works of K.B.Zharykbayev, and the problem of professional competence was studied in the works of N.D.Khmel, Sh.T.Taubaeva, N.N.Khan, B.A.Turgynbayeva, G.Zh.Menlibekova, A.K.Amanova, the professional didactic competence of future primary school teachers was studied by B.T.Barsai, the methodological and scientific-theoretical foundations of competence by K.S.Kudaibergenova and other scientists are widely studied. The problem of management in various areas of education in recent years has caused increased interest of Kazakhstani scientists. In particular, knowledge management in universities for the training of education managers in the country was studied by Z.A. Isaeva, N.A. Asanov, and S.M. Bakhisheva. The scientific-pedagogical aspects of training education managers were considered in the works of T.M. Baimoldaev, and the improvement of managerial competence of heads of educational institutions was studied in the research of R.Sh. Abitaeva. Management in the educational process was the subject of research by K.Zh. Aganina and A. Zhumisbekov, K.Sh. Moldasan and K. Yesenova, as well as N.S.Alkozhayeva and K.B. Zhumabekova. The formation of managerial competence of future teachers was considered in the works of D.K. Sadirbekova. The scientific-pedagogical foundations of training socio-pedagogical managers in higher education institutions were studied in the research of S. Askarkyzy. The problem of forming diagnostic competence of future pedagogical-psychologists in universities was continued in the works of P.T. Abdullaeva. Analysis of scientific literature shows that the study of pedagogical conditions for the formation of managerial competence of future teachers is an important factor in the implementation of the quality of education. However, the scientific substantiation of these conditions remained outside the attention of scientists and researchers. In this regard, we highlight the following contradictions in the study of pedagogical conditions for the formation of managerial competence of future teachers: - the task of mastering managerial competence by future teachers in accordance with the needs of modern society and the lack of scientific substantiation of its formation in pedagogical universities; - the task of forming the managerial competence of future teachers and the lack of an opportunity to fully implement it in the university; - it has been established that there are contradictions between modern requirements for the training of future specialists and the absence of full account of pedagogical conditions for the formation of managerial competence of the future teacher. These contradictions justify the relevance of researching a scientifically substantiated system of pedagogical conditions for the formation of managerial competence of future teachers in accordance with modern requirements for improving the professional mastery of teachers in the educational process. This problematic became the basis for the dissertation research entitled "Pedagogical conditions of developing managerial competence of future pedagogues." The object of research is the pedagogical process in higher education institutions The subject of research is the formation of managerial competence in future educators. The aim of the research is to analyze the development of managerial competencies in future teachers from a scientific and theoretical perspective, and to demonstrate their effectiveness in practical and pedagogical work. Research forecast: By identifying the pedagogical conditions for developing managerial competence in pre-service teachers and creating a model for its formation, it can be expected the emergence of teacher leadership in teacher training programs. This is likely to significantly enhance the quality of education, as the development of competencies in future educators will be grounded in management theory and aligned with new educational paradigms. Aim of the research: 1. Conduct a scientific and theoretical analysis of the terms "management," "competence," "managerial competence," and "education manager." 2. Identify the pedagogical conditions for developing managerial competence in future teachers. 3. Develop a content-structural model for forming managerial competence in future teachers. 4. Experimentally test the method for forming managerial competence in future teachers and prepare scientific and methodological recommendations. Scientific novelty of the research: 1. Scientific analysis of works of domestic and foreign scientists on the formation of managerial competence of future teachers and the definition of the concepts of "management", "competence", "education manager", "pedagogical management", "leadership" and "leadership styles". 2. Systemic, axiological, competence and cultural-methodological bases for improving the training of educational leaders with a focus on the formation of managerial competence are created. 3. The content and structural model of formation of managerial competence of future teachers was prepared. 4. Experimental work on pedagogical conditions of formation of managerial competence of future teachers has been carried out and proposals for improving the quality of the educational process in the university have been prepared. The central concept of this research is that analyzing the pedagogical conditions for developing managerial competence in future teachers within the Kazakhstani educational context will contribute to the preparation of competitive specialists possessing high personal qualities, leadership abilities, and professional knowledge, skills, and qualifications. This, in turn, will facilitate the successful integration of the Kazakhstani education sector into the global educational arena.
