Description
Summary:ABSTRACT. The paradigmatic changes that have taken place in nowadays Romania both at the educational and social level determine the reorientation in teachers’ initial and continuing education and a redefinition of the competencies required by the teaching profession, which generates a repositioning of the teacher as an agent of change. Moreover, the current educational requirements impose the setting of a role-model for the didactic profession, a unitary, standardised one that may be nationally acknowledged and in accordance to the European space. Hence, ensuring an educational process at quality standards is dependent on the acquisition and practice of competencies specific to the teaching job, competencies that correspond to the current psycho-pedagogical requirements and existing social needs. The extent to which the current continuing training programs contribute to the development of these competencies as well as the secondary education teachers’ perception regarding the building of professional competencies within the initial training are the variables explored in the current study.
