https://doi.org/10.51955/2312-1327_2026_1_180
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of organizing and implementing the “Volunteer Activity Workshop” in pedagogical education. The Workshop is considered as a part of a system of university-based training for professional pedagogical activity aimed at developing the relevant pedagogical competencies, professional and personal qualities, and a reflective component of the personality of future teachers. The paper examines the structure and content of the Workshop, which are capable of integrating theoretical, practical, and personal components that contribute to the professional development of future teachers. The choice of a conceptual framework for developing the Workshop content is discussed. Among a wide range of ideas, theories, and approaches, the author considers service learning; practice-oriented and competency-based approaches; theories of social action; and civic education. The article summarizes the practical experience and draws conclusions about the importance of the Workshop as an effective form of training modern teachers who possess not only subject-specific but also social competencies in the field of volunteering
