Abstract

Purpose. The challenges of modern education that this article deals with are the peculiarities of innovative receptivity of modern teachers in Ukraine. The aim of this research is to explore how to improve the innovative receptivity of Ukrainian teachers.

Methodology. In order to achieve this goal, first, the meaning of the concept ‘innovative receptivity’ was defined, and the components of teachers’ innovative receptivity were identified. Then, the key components of the concept were determined by the method of expert evaluation. Subsequently, a survey was conducted among teachers.

Results. The results showed that the most important components are technological proficiency, openness to change, a supportive environment and reflective practice. After applying a number of methods for improving innovative receptivity and surveying teachers, the most effective tools and recommendations for their use were determined.

The present study research also highlights the importance of ongoing professional development in fostering innovation readiness. Incorporating technology into teacher training programmes enables teachers to experience its benefits firsthand. We utilised online platforms to demonstrate the tools and resources available for use in their own classrooms. It is very important to ensure access to resources.

To improve receptiveness to innovation, teachers should be provided clear guidelines and support materials. Video tutorials on the use of specific technologies can be invaluable for teachers who need quick assistance or are studying independently.

Conclusions. Our work has led us to conclude that it is important to develop the innovative receptivity of Ukrainian teachers. It can be a valuable quality for improving teaching competence and developing the level of professionalism.
