INTEGRATING ACMEOLOGICAL METHODS INTO TEACHER TRAINING CURRICULUM: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

This article explores both the theoretical and practical dimensions of integrating acmeological methods into teacher training curricula. The acmeological approach, which focuses on personal growth, professional excellence, and the realization of human potential, provides a valuable framework for enhancing reflective thinking, intrinsic motivation, and professional competencies in pre-service teachers. The study outlines the advantages of embedding acmeological principles into educational programs while also addressing the challenges—technological, methodological, and psychological—that may arise during implementation. The findings support the view that a structured and systematic incorporation of acmeological strategies can significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of teacher education.
