Contemporary School Competences – Necessary Practice from The Teacher\u27s Perspective

Kompetencije učitelja u suvremenoj školi znatno se razlikuju od onih koje su bile potrebne za tradicionalni načina poučavanja. Nekadašnji prijenos znanja bio je usmjeren na predavačku nastavu, gdje je učenik morao biti pasivni slušač. Danas su učiteljske kompetencije usmjerene na socijalni i emotivni razvoj učenika. U kontekstu različitosti koje obogaćuju našu školu, učitelj treba biti spreman na individualni pristup svakom učeniku, izradu posebnih i prilagođenih postupaka, suradnju i partnerstvo s roditeljima, timsko djelovanje. Učiteljska se kompetencija stječe putem studija i izgrađuje unutar iskustvenog profesionalnog polja. Njegovo daljnje cjeloživotno obrazovanje postalo je neizbježno. U radu je navedeno koje kompetencije treba imati učitelj u suvremenoj školi. Praktični dio rada obuhvaća istraživanje o razvijenosti kompetencija učitelja iz perspektive njih samih. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako su učitelji kompetentni za rad u suvremenoj školi, ali isto tako je vidljivo da teže stalnom usavršavanju te cjeloživotnom obrazovanju.Teachers\u27 competences in the contemporary school are significantly different from those necessary in the traditional learning manner. The earlier transfer of knowledge was directed to teaching where the pupil had to be a passive listener. Today the teacher\u27s competence is directed to the social and emotional development of the pupil. In the context of the diversity that enriches our schools, the teacher must be ready for an individual approach to each pupil, develop special and customized procedures, cooperation and partnership with parents, teamwork. A teacher\u27s competence is acquired through studies and is developed within the professional field of experience. Further lifelong learning has become inevitable. The paper outlines what competences a teacher in a contemporary school should have. The practical work covers the research on the development of a teacher\u27s competences from their own perspective. The research results indicate that teachers are competent to work in a modern school but, at the same time, show that they strive for continuous improvement and lifelong learning
