The core of interest in the article concerns the new dimensions of teachers’ roles. It is considered in the context of the concept of the knowledge-based society. The authors consider the nature of the relation between personal and professional competences and how they contribute to effective teaching as well as participation in professional learning communities. The main assumption is that personal competences pre-empt professional ones and enable teachers to fulfill the roles which are perceived in the different dimensions.

Inquiry among the schoolteachers' needs to be embedded, cultivated, sustained and nurtured as a tool for a better understanding of the processes in the education and for fostering teachers' ongoing professional growth. This study explores teachers' self-evaluation of their competency to conduct research and to incorporate it in the classroom. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed to seek answers about teachers' engagement with research and to explore the factors of resistance for carrying out research in the classroom setting. This study also dwells upon some mechanisms that lead teachers to carry out research. The focus group interviews which were conducted reflect on the factors that encourage teachers to become more involved in the research and point to the advantages they perceive as emanating from the research. The qualitative part of inquiry reflects teachers' narrative ways of construction and reconstruction of their personal and professional knowledge. The authors discuss the processes that foster teachers to move from the fragmentary use of research strategies to the ability to live in the inquiry, practice new behaviours in the classroom, unlearn the old ones, reflect in action and stay open to a range of new initiatives.

It is generally known that the effectiveness of the system of higher education in Ukraine largely depends on the professionalism of the teaching staff. Professional development of teachers makes effective their activity by means of which public policy is implemented – the strengthening of the intellectual and spiritual potential of the nation, the development of science, the conservation and increasing of cultural heritage. The better the teacher is aware of his high role, understands the requirements for his personality, the harder he is working at them. This is the key to his professional success. Considering the problem of teachers’ professional growth, we will proceed with the concept developed by the prominent psychologist, K. Platonov. According to this concept in the personality structure there are reflected the general, special and individual (personal) qualities that form four substructures, which are arranged in a pyramid, at the bottom of it there are biologically stipulated qualities, at the top of it there are socially stipulated ones. We’d like to note that the general personality traits include political, moral, strong-willed, legal, aesthetic, etc., which form the basis of individual consciousness of the individual. The personal traits include individual experience and professional activity. The individual qualities include: individual characteristics of mental processes, the peculiarities of the types of higher nervous activity and temperament, as well as some physical data relevant to teaching work. Of course, no less important are the mental processes and characteristics: flexibility, critical and insightful mind; emotional sensitivity and responsiveness; volitional features, the ability to influence others and so on. Without these qualities there does not exist a teacher as it is impossible to develop thinking and to teach that human who has no these qualities, whose qualities are not developed; a weak-willed or infirm teacher cannot influence on pupils’ willful traits. Consequently, the training of the new generation of the teaching staff, who would have all the above mentioned qualities and meet the requirements of the professional formation, involves the implementation of the vocational training of a high school teacher. The ability of a teacher to a successful professional becoming in today's society depends on the professional self-development; the understanding of the factors that facilitate or hinder the establishment of professionalism and capabilities to overcome the preventive factors and solve problems; the evaluation of their professional activities; the degree of satisfaction with the vocational training, etc.
