Since the change of the paradigms of competitiveness is taking place now, the concept ‘competitiveness’ also changes its semantic meaning. In the article the concept ‘educator’s competitiveness’ is analyzed and scientifically substantiated according to different views. The aim of the article is to present the results of theoretical research, performed by author for several years in the field of concurentology, actualizing the new meaning of the concept ‘educator’s competitiveness’ in the pedagogy science and education, and proposing an insight into the substantiation of the philosophic methodological basis for the evaluation of educator’s competitiveness. In the article, the author applies the concept ‘educator’ according to its broader meaning. The research shows that there exists: 1) diversity in relation to the definitions and explanations of the competitiveness of an educator as a specialist; 2) three methodological approaches in the research of competitiveness: a biometric, a functional and a structural approach. According to the author’s opinion, the structural approach would be the most appropriate for the development of the evaluation methodology, including the system of evaluation indicators, in relation to the components of an educator’s competitiveness structure.
