Abstract

U društvu znanja jačanje učiteljske profesije i profesionalnog identiteta učitelja postaje imperativ kvalitete odgojno-obrazovnog sustava. Kako bi razvijali vlastiti profesionalizam učitelji se trebaju posvetiti cjeloživotnom učenju i uključivati u različite oblike usavršavanja kako bi optimizirali profesionalni razvoj. Cilj ovog rada bio je steći uvid u stavove i samoprocjene učitelja prema različitim segmentima profesionalnog razvoja i kontinuiranog stručnog usavršavanja. Na uzorku od 248 učitelja provedeno je istraživanje putem anketnog upitnika kojim su se ispitivale samoprocjene učiteljske osposobljenosti za obnašanje učiteljske uloge, motivacija za profesionalni razvoj i stručno usavršavanje, dostupnost stručnog usavršavanja, preferencije i procjena učinkovitosti formalnih oblika te spremnost na neformalno usavršavanje. Rezultati su pokazali da učitelji razredne i predmetne nastave nisko procjenjuju svoju osposobljenost za obnašanje učiteljske uloge po završetku studija, ali pokazuju visoku razinu intrinzične motivacije za profesionalni razvoj i kontinuirano stručno usavršavanje. Pokazalo se kako učitelji ocjenjuju formalno stručno usavršavanje učinkovitim i korisnim u oblicima u kojima se izvodi. Učitelji uz to pokazuju visoku razinu spremnosti za uključivanje u neformalne oblike usavršavanja dok se pored brojnih nalaza ovog istraživanja pokazuje ohrabrujućim kako učitelji s godinama radnog iskustva postupno pokazuju veću spremnost za neformalno usavršavanje.

Abstract (english)

Improving teacher professionalism and strengthening teacher professional identity has become an imperative of education quality in the knowledge society. In order to improve their status as professionals, teachers should be committed to lifelong learning and engagement in various forms of training in order to optimize the process of professional development. For the purpose of this research, 248 teachers have filled out an online questionnaire in order to get an insight into their feeling of preparedness for teachers’ role, their attitudes towards motivation for continuous professional development, availability of professional development opportunities, preferences regarding formally structured activities as well as readiness to engage in informal activities. The results showed that both teachers in upper and lower elementary school feel unprepared for their contemporary role after completing initial education. However, they exhibited high levels of intrinsic motivation for continuous professional development as well as satisfaction with the efficiency of formal professional development activities. Teachers also demonstrated high levels of engagement in informal professional development activities while, in addition to the numerous findings of this research, it is encouraging that teachers with years of work experience gradually show a greater willingness for informal continuous professional development.
