Abstract

Modern trends of digitalization and individualization of education impose higher requirements on the quality of future teachers' training in specialized pedagogical classes. Despite the recognized importance of teacher cooperation as a factor in the effectiveness of the educational process, its internal mechanisms, organizational and managerial conditions, and principles in the context of such specialized classes remain understudied. The aim of the research is to provide a theoretical foundation for teacher cooperation in specialized pedagogical classes as strategic collaboration. Using the methods of conceptual analysis and theoretical modeling, three key cooperation mechanisms have been identified and described (self-improvement motivation, productivity enhancement, favorable socio-psychological climate formation), along with the necessary conditions and principles for their implementation. The results contribute to the development of the theory of pedagogical cooperation and are addressed to the heads of educational organizations and practicing teachers for designing effective interaction models.
