Abstract

AGAYEV, Shahrza Ogul. Schoolchildren's preparation for modern work habits: the role of teacher and open questions. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.2, pp. 75-82.  Epub Apr 30, 2024. ISSN 2218-3620.

The objective of this article is to analyze the pressing challenges surrounding the contemporary labor training of schoolchildren. Central to this analysis is the recognition of the profound impact of technology on shaping the workforce's competencies. Then, it justifies the imperative need for cultivating personal, general professional competencies among schoolchildren, emphasizing the pivotal role such competencies play in navigating the complexities of the modern job market. To accomplish this the transformative role of educators in preparing students for modern work habits is of special relevance. We highlight that educators in addition to facilitating the learning process should be provocatory, so the benefits of open-ended questions as a pedagogical tool emerge for serving not only as knowledge transfer but also as critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability catalysts towards ever-evolving workforce demands. Considering the above, this research clarifies practical measures formal schooling must prioritize in an increasingly vocational skill-driven economy like Azerbaijan, where people require lifelong learning over one-time preparation.

Keywords : Professional competencies; Skill development; Effective teaching; Work adaptability; educational transformation.
