 Abstract 

 

The study aims to analyze the portrayal of teachers in the works of Ukrainian writers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The selected literary works include I. Franko's "Emerick Torchinsky", "The Education of Hrytsko", "Schon schreiben", "Father-Humorist"; B. Hrynchenko's "Exam", "Rebellious", "Brother against brother", "Stolen"; and G. Tyutyunnik's "Upon the ashes". These works condemn the use of corporal punishment, rudeness, and ignorance on the part of teachers. They also emphasize the role of teachers as bearers of knowledge, culture, and spirituality. In contemporary society, the focus is on the teacher's ability to facilitate the learning and self-improvement of students, to help develop their personalities, and instil moral ideals and spiritual values. Teachers are expected to be lifelong learners and continuously develop competencies in various areas. This includes acquiring knowledge in their subject matter, mastering pedagogical techniques, and cultivating strong interpersonal skills in order to effectively navigate relationships with their students and colleagues. (Kim & Reichmuth, 2021). Modern Ukrainian teachers need to organize themselves in a way that enables them to effectively collaborate with their students, foster engagement between educational institutions and society, and create an atmosphere of trust, transparency, and moral integrity. In order to achieve this, teachers must organize teaching and learning activities based on ethical principles and promote tolerance.
