Abstract
The article notes the importance of studying the interconnection of professional competency and integration processes in higher education for their subsequent use in the development of competitive higher education. The research objective is to identify the key competences of University scientific and pedagogical staff as an integral part of professional competency influenced by internationalization and integration of Russian universities into the global educational area. To rich this objective the authors put forward the principle of convergence. In the process of convergence, all ideas and concepts are aligned, penetrate each other, diffuse thus enriching each other. The authors also highlight the difference between “competence” and “competency” and define teacher professional competency is a result of acquisition or developing a set of competences getting through experience in various fields including professional area. Teacher professional competency is a part of teacher professional excellence. The foundation for teacher professional excellence is provided by the hierarchical structure of the individual which has three levels. Teacher professional competency correlates with the second level of the hierarchical structure of a person which in its turn consists of: 1. individual knowledge, 2. skills (competences), 3. acquired skills, 4. habits. The authors define four levels of individual knowledge development and classify skills by orientation, by levels of organization of activities and by levels of acquisition. Using theoretical studies the authors have already developed the IDUTE programme (International Dimension of University Technical Teacher Education) designed to enhance the international dimensions of various components of university teacher education programmes, to transform courses in order to facilitate change and improvement in reaching internationalization goals of their work and to help provide university teachers with greater global knowledge and competences.
