TEACHER'S SELF-DEVELOPMENT AS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS

Abstract

This article explores teacher self-development as a continuous, conscious, and systematic process aimed at enhancing professional, intellectual, methodological, and personal competencies.

The study outlines key stages of self-development, including self-diagnosis, planning, practical implementation, and self-assessment, emphasizing the importance of reflection, intrinsic motivation, and professional competence
