Abstract:
The professional culture of a teacher integrates pedagogical expertise, subject knowledge, but also skills such as communication, empathy and adaptability to the needs of students and the educational community. The postmodern teacher must quickly adapt to changes in society, collaborate effectively and use information technologies, based on a solid theoretical foundation. The teacher's professional culture, influenced by national and regional culture, includes attitudes, values and practices that define educational activity, and emotional culture includes aspects such as self-image, motivation and emotion management. The development of professional identity and competence is supported by professional culture, which promotes ethical standards, adapting to innovations and improving interpersonal relationships. This contributes to increasing the prestige of the profession and encourages continuous learning.
