Abstract
The article substantiates the need to form leadership competence among future teachers in the conditions of university education. The authors generalized and concretized the concept of “leadership competence” of the future teacher, defining it as a particular competence, namely the meta-competence. The research aimed to define the possible ways to form future teachers’ leadership competence in mastering the educational program “Pedagogy and Psychology.” The algorithm for future teachers’ leadership competence development is suggested in the given article.
The confirmation of the accepted hypothesis is justified by the presented results of the study, which showed positive dynamics in the level of formation of the studied competence. The effectiveness of the consistent and purposeful formation of the future teacher’s leadership competence in studying psychological and pedagogical disciplines and passing pedagogical practice has been proven.
