Abstract
This article presents the results of a monitoring study analyzing the professional competencies of aesthetics teachers in the context of digital transformation. The analysis has revealed that despite the steady growth of digital culture, many teachers experience personnel and methodological challenges related to insufficient digital literacy and inclusive training. The study also has identified significant professional shortages and a gap in digital competencies. It has been noted that this social group of teachers has the greatest impact on younger generations’ sociocultural education performing a critical function in instilling fundamental values and norms. The paper argues for a comprehensive and systemic approach to education quality management that transcends standard academic performance indicators. It substantiates the need for continuous assessment and the subsequent implementation of professional development programs to enhance digital integration in educational management. Finally, the article emphasizes the importance of creating adaptive, integrated models for managing pedagogical education quality to ensure harmonious personal development and increase the competitiveness of the Russian education system.
