THE ROMANIAN CONTINUING TRAINING SYSTEM – A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH THE SYSTEMS OF NORWAY AND LATVIA

Summary/Abstract: The evolution of society, of technology, the accelerated pace of changes obligatorily imposes the need for continuing training in each and every professional field. The education system, in an attempt to be compatible with the needs of the social system, requires those who serve it to permanently develop their professional competencies by assimilating new, innovative theoretical elements, by acquiring more and more complex skills, attitudes adapted to the demands of the contemporary world. Consequently, for all the teaching staff, training is not only a possibility, but above all, a necessity. The study addresses the issue of the continuing training of the teachers in the Romanian education system, in accordance with the current legislation, recently amended, in an attempt to make it compatible with the European training systems, which relate to relatively uniform quality standards, while carrying out a comparative analysis between this system and those of Norway and Latvia, at the same time. The used method of investigation is represented by the comparative critical analysis, which tries to capture the specifics of each continuing training system and which capitalizes on normative documents (laws, methodologies), but also OECD reports of the European Commission. The conclusions drawn from the analysis highlight the common and differentiating elements of those particular systems.
