Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of developing the professional and pedagogical
competence of instructors in technical higher education institutions. Based on a theoretical analysis of
psychological, pedagogical, and philosophical research on the professional development of personality, and in
accordance with the logic of differentiating the basic concepts of “competence”, “competency” , “professional
competence”, “pedagogical competence”, and “teacher’s professional competence”, the professional and
pedagogical competence of instructors of specialized disciplines in technical higher education institutions and
its main components have been defined. A structural-functional model for the development of professional and
pedagogical competence of instructors of specialized disciplines in technical higher education institutions is
presented as a theoretically grounded, holistic framework outlining how improved (modernized) professional
development of academic staff should occur within the process of continuing education. The stepwise
implementation of the proposed structural-functional model is described in accordance with five consecutive
stages: motivational-instructional, prognostic-design, cognitive-informational, activity-process, and reflectiveresultative.The diagnostic methodological framework for assessing the level of professional and pedagogical competence of instructors of specialized disciplines in technical higher education institutions is outlined, encompassing criteria, corresponding indicators, and levels of component development. The results of an experimental evaluation of the structural-functional model’s effectiveness indicate that, by the end of the study, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher numbers of participants achieving productive and creative levels for each criterion of professional and pedagogical competence compared to the control group. Based on the results of the experimental work, it is concluded that the broad implementation of innovations aimed at modernizing and optimizing the process of professional development for instructors of specialized disciplines in technical higher education institutions is advisable.
