Abstract
The reform of higher pedagogical education in Ukraine requires teachers to attain a high level of professional competencies. In the modern period, it is essential to study pedagogical practice as it contributes to developing the necessary skills and competencies that are key to the successful professional formation of future specialists. This article aimed to explore the role and place of pedagogical practice in the professional training system for higher education students through the lens of contemporary realities. The research employed methods of analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, comparison, systematisation, and generalisation of scientific approaches to the study of the problem. The study identified the goals of pedagogical practice, which include consolidating the theoretical knowledge acquired during studies, familiarising students with all aspects of their future profession, developing the ability to make independent, well-considered decisions in specific professional conditions, fostering the capacity for self-development and self-improvement, systematically deepening and applying one's knowledge, and mastering modern traditional and innovative methods by higher education students. Additionally, the article outlined the tasks of pedagogical practice within the system of higher education training, and substantiates its impact on the formation of professional competence, as pedagogical practice is instrumental in self-realisation, mobilising personal potential, and revealing the abilities of future teachers. The practical value of the research lies in its potential use by practice supervisors, faculty managers, methodologists, administrators, and teachers of general secondary education institutions, as well as higher education students in the system of practical training
