CONTINUOUS TRAINING OF TEACHERS IN ROMANIAN AND EUROPEAN CONTEXT

Summary/Abstract: Continuing education, training is an important component of every social subsystem, including the education one. The study aims to address the issue of continuing education of teachers, both in the context of the Romanian education and teaching system, and the European one, conducting an analysis of the legislative framework, but also of the experiences of recent years in this field. We have referred to documents, legislative acts, which regulate the system of continuous training (eg: National Education Law, for the Romanian education system) or to various reports (OECD, Eurydice), which present different statistical situations regarding the continuous training of teachers in European countries, on training priorities. Our investigative approach focused on a category of continuing education activities, namely training programs, which support the career development of teachers. The target group consisted of teachers who teach in preschool education, participants in such a continuing education program, before taking an exam (gradeII teacher), to ensure their career development. We analyzed the importance/ relevance of using a summative assessment tool(portfolio), respectively of its components in establishing the level of professional skills, developed within the Program. The research methods we used were the survey based on the questionnaire and the analysis of the products of the activity (the portfolios). The results obtained confirmed the validity of the evaluation tool used.
