THE PROFESSIONAL ADVANCED TRAINING OF EDUCATIONAL WORKERS BY MEANS OF E-LEARNING AND LIFELONG LEARNING

Summary/Abstract: Modern technologies have been making progress in all socially significant domains, thus it is necessary for an individual to be computer-literate so that he can be in touch with novelties and innovations in his professional field. Beside the acquisition of knowledge and information important for professional competences, the use of modern technologies contributes to the better time organization of individuals. This is especially important for educational workers who are frequently exposed to stress due to the lack of time. In order to follow contemporary events related to their profession in the first place, educational workers have to receive advanced trainings throughout their lives. Lifelong learning has become the imperative of educational professions. The organization of accredited seminars, approved by the Bureau for Education improvement in Serbia, represents the aspects of professional advanced trainings where educational workers acquire new knowledge and competences. The largest number of trainings in Serbia has been performed in a traditional way, "Ex - cathedra", however, there is also a tendency for the organization of e-learning trainings by means of modern technologies. The goal of this research is to be determined whether kindergarten teachers, teachers and the teachers of subject teaching have accepted remote learning, which would strengthen their professional competences in a faster and simpler way. The sample has included 300 educational workers employed in preschool institutions and primary schools. The instrument which we have used to respond to the goals of this research was constructed. The research findings point to significant differences in educational workers’ responses in regards to the gender, chronological age and working experience of respondents.
