Abstract: this article addresses current issues concerning the enhancement of unified approaches to the structure and content of educational programs for the fields of study 44.03.01 and 44.03.05, contextualized within the Concept for Education Development until 2036. The study aims to identify the theoretical prerequisites underlying this process and subsequently test the formulated hypotheses empirically through a survey of diverse categories of teaching professionals. These professionals serve in dual expert capacities: as experts on the quality of education received, implementing it in practice within general and secondary vocational education, and as specialists in the design and implementation of higher education programs (specifically 44.03.01 and 44.03.05). The scientific significance of this research lies in its identification of the challenges educational institutions face when implementing methodological recommendations for the adoption of the Core of Pedagogical Education, the content of which extends beyond the framework of foundational training. The practical significance resides in the development of actionable proposals aimed at preserving the independence and autonomy of educational institutions in formulating professional competencies, defining specialization profiles for fields of study, and designing the structure and content of the subject-specific methodological module. The methodology encompasses a comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks, scientific publications, best practices for integrating the Core of Pedagogical Education, and empirical data from a survey of educators (n=234), which validated the necessity of enhancing core professional competencies. This underscores their critical role in informing the development of the 4th generation Federal State Educational Standards for Higher Education for 44.00.00 «Education and Pedagogical Sciences». Furthermore, the study provides a reasoned argument that the increased role of university-wide departments in shaping the foundational professional component of graduate training should be proportionally reflected in allocated teaching hours and the formal assignment of foundational professional competencies to these departments. The proposals for decentralizing the development of professional competencies, formulated on this basis, ensure adherence to the principle of institutional autonomy in designing educational programs while accounting for employer needs and regional specificities.
