| Annotation: | The article examines the pressing issue of developing scientific mentoring as a necessary pedagogical condition for the formation and development of a scientific and professional pedagogical community in the context of non-formal and informal education. The study is substantiated by the need to introduce innovative ideas, intellectual and digital technologies into the higher professional education system. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that improving the innovative and scientific components in higher education institutions becomes a key factor in the development of scientific and professional pedagogical communities. In the context of educational digitalization, the formation of a cohesive scientific and professional pedagogical community capable of generating new knowledge and innovative practices acquires particular significance. Scientific mentoring acts as a system-forming factor ensuring effective interaction between participants in the educational process in the context of non-formal and informal learning. It creates the necessary pedagogical conditions for the formation of professional competencies, development of research potential, and integration of educators into the scientific community. The purpose of the research is to develop conceptual models of scientific mentoring implemented on the basis of an intellectual information-pedagogical system and supported by the application of non-formal and informal education methods. The paper proposes conceptual models of scientific mentoring, a program for an individual professional development trajectory of a teacher-scientific mentor, methods for evaluating the effectiveness of mentoring activities, and mechanisms for forming a scientific and professional community. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of developing open educational resources and advancing the mentoring school in higher education institutions. The proposed models effectively facilitate the formation of a scientific and professional pedagogical community using modern digital technologies. The research is based on a systematic and transdisciplinary approach, the immersion method, the project method, and the self-development method. Particular attention is paid to integrating traditional forms of mentoring with modern digital learning tools. The results of the work can be used to improve the system of teacher training, develop the research potential of higher education institutions, and form an effective model of continuous professional education in the context of the digital transformation of society. | ||
