THE VIEWS OF PRE-PRIMARY AND PRIMARY TEACHERS REGARDING CONTINUOUS TEACHER TRAINING IN ROMANIA

Abstract

The research aimed at identifying the opinions of pre-primary and primary teachers, from the Romanian educational systems, regarding the quality of the in-service training programmes. The research methods used, the focus group and the interview, were also applied in order to identify possibilities for curricular innovations, from the perspective of pre-primary and primary school teachers. The results show that the pre-primary and primary teachers from Romania would prefer in-service training programmes focused more on practical training, as this would really support them in improving and updating their teaching practices.

Key words: continuous training, perceptions, pre-primary and primary teachers
