Moreover, comparative analysis of the etymology of «responsibility» in the English, French and Ukrainian dictionaries was conducted. Summarizing the research on the etymology «responsibility» of the notion, it should be stated that the meaning of «responsibility» in Ukrainian, English and French dictionaries has a similar meaning, as it is generally defined as a self-regulatory form associated with the need of the individual to report for the fulfilment of duty, and moral obligation that expresses the conscious attitude of the person to the requirements of social necessity, duties, social tasks, norms and values.

Moreover, each field of knowledge has its own vision and approaches to defining «responsibility». Consequently, the teacher's professional and pedagogical responsibility can be interpreted as an indicator of the individual social maturity. The area of self-subjective realization of professional and pedagogical responsibility in the teacher's living is manifested in how one being guided and oriented in his life by humanistic attitudes towards other people. Furthermore, the area of self-subjective implementation includes the responsibility for the realization of humanistic values.
