Current pedagogic science states that the new paradigm of education in XXI century is being developed through the increase of personality culture of a prospective teacher, which has to include a system of knowledge, skills, abilities, as well as cultural and moral values, accumulated by the humankind, which are necessary for the development of a competent personality and its professional maturity. Authors of present article define competence as a way of the existence of knowledge, skills, abilities and education, which facilitates personal self-actualization and placement in the world. Due to these reasons, professional training of the prospective teachers becomes a personality-oriented educational process, i.e. the process, which provides the highest demand for the prospective teacher's personality potential during the realization of pedagogic tasks.Keywords: professional education, pedagogic education, competence approach in educationJEL Classifications: I210, I280, Z180
