Abstract

The  lifelong  learning  theory  examines  professional
development of all those working in community learning and
development, further education, higher education, and work
based learning.  The lifelong professional development can
be understood as a an organized purposeful process aimed
at  the  raising  the  level  of  professional  skills  by  improving professional  competences  in  compliance  with  the  new social­and­economical,  technological  and/  or  international requirements and standards. However, not much research currently  exists  on  the  process  of  lifelong  professional development  of  scientific­and­pedagogical  personnel.The goal of this study was to examine methodological bases of life­long  professional  development  model  of  scientific­and­ pedagogical  personnel  on  the  general  scientific,  specific scientific  and  methodological­and­technological  levels.                                            

Research  indicates  that  integration  of  the  andragogical
approach,  the  competence­based  approach  and  the
modular  approach  into  pedagogical  conceptual  model  in
educational  practice  of  Chelyabinsk  State  Pedagogical
University  provided  a  significantly  positive  development  of
lifelong  advanced  training.    These  results  provide  general
support for lifelong professional development hypothesis
