Abstract. Introduction. The relevance of developing a transversal environmental competence in teachers of various subjects is determined by the global challenges of the time, and the current state of educational development. The study aims to justify the need to form the transversal environmental competence in teachers of different subjects.

Materials and methods. The paper discusses theoretical foundations of the phenomenon of transversal environmental competence of the teacher, and substantiates the independence of this competency. Experiments have been made to prove the effectiveness of the development of a transversal environmental competence in the teacher. The methods employed in the study also included questionnaires “Questions to yourself,” and a monographic description.

The results of the study. An analysis of empirical material concluded that most teachers do not have sufficient knowledge and skills related to the issues of education to promote sustainable development. This is due to the fact that the environmental competence of the teacher is considered separately from their professional competencies. Therefore, it is necessary to build such environmental competence of teachers, which can help them solve worldview, methodological and axiological problems of self-identification, self-determination, self-actualization, and self-development in a society in the interests of sustainable development. In this regard, the appropriateness of introducing the concept of a “transversal environmental competence” in the pedagogical thesaurus has been experimentally proved.

Conclusion. The practical value of the study lies in the improvement of the environmental competence in teachers of various subjects.

Keywords: professional competence, transversal environmental competence, environmental education, construction, sustainable development.

Abstract. Introduction. This study examines the problem of professional adaptation of freelance de- signers, which is of particular relevance due to the insufficient coverage of this issue, the annual increase in the number of freelancers in the design environment, the specifics of professional adaptation of freelancers engaged in interior design, and the lack of specially developed programs for psychological counseling of freelance designers with different levels of professional adaptation. This work aims to study the professional adaptation of freelance designers and to build and test a psychological counseling program for freelance designers with various levels of professional adaptation.

Methods and materials. The study involved several groups of participants. For each group, an individual psychological counseling program was developed and implemented. The program contains modeling, developing, training, and analytical methods. The paper presents the program implementation results, which show the change in the indicators of professional adaptation of freelance designers with different levels of professional adaptation.

Results. Analysis performed in this study has confirmed the assumption that professional adaptation of the freelancers at issue has various levels (high, medium, and low). In this work, each level is assigned a certain characteristic with corresponding indicators.

Conclusion. The findings of the study indicate that traditional methods cannot affect the professional adaptation of freelancers. In this regard, psychological counseling is one of the most effective approaches.

Keywords: professional disadaptation, job satisfaction, professional stress, psychological counseling program, adaptability of freelancers.
