Abstract

Accelerated digitalizition in modern society in recent years has had a significant impact on the change in the professional competences of teachers, from didactic, collaborative to organizational. All these transformations also require the improvement of educational competencies. In addition to the education of students, there are more and more educational challenges that need to be answered. The aim of this work was to investigate teachers' attitudes about educational challenges in school (and thus the necessary pedagogical competences). 250 subject teachers in the Republic of Croatia participated in the online survey. The questionnaire Teacher's  Attitudes on Educational Challenges at School (Plaza Leutar and Ivanković, 2024) yielded interesting results showed the neglected educational dimension in modern schools, and at the same time a great need for preventive and educational work with children and young people within the framework of educational process. The results point to the urgent need to direct students to critical judegment and take personal positions, empower them in dealing with the phenomena of materialistic-technological society and train them for responsible and meaningful living in a society of degraded humanity. Also, the results showed that the partnership between school, family and community is becoming even more important due to the increasing complexity of education. Related to this, there is a need to modernize of teacher's competences with an emphasis on educational components in terms of the ability to respond to the school's educational requirements.

Odgoj i obrazovanje za osobni i profesionalni razvoj

Broj rada: 41  

Sažetak 

Ubrzana digitalizacija i nesigurnost u suvremenom društvu posljednjih godina značajno je utjecalo na promjenu profesionalnih kompetencija učitelja, od didaktičkih preko suradničkih pa sve do organizacijskih. Sve te transformacije na značajan i inovativan način oblikuju učitelja, zahtijevajući da osim kompetencija razvije i veću fleksibilnost i prilagodljivost kako bi odgovarali na izazove vlastite profesije i potrebe učenika. Osim obrazovanja učenika, sve je više odgojnih izazova na koje je potrebno odgovoriti. Cilj ovoga rada bio je istražiti stavove učitelja o odgojnim izazovima u školi (a time i potrebnim pedagoškim kompetencijama). U online istraživanju sudjelovalo je 250 učitelja predmetne nastave u Republici Hrvatskoj. Upitnikom Stavovi učitelja o odgojnim izazovima u školi (Ivanković i Plaza Leutar, 2024) došlo se do zanimljivih rezultata koji su pokazali zanemarenu odgojnu dimenziju u suvremenoj školi, a u isto vrijeme veliku potrebu za preventivno-odgojnim radom s djecom u mladima u okviru odgojno-obrazovnoga procesa. Rezultati upućuju na goruću potrebu usmjeravanje učenika na kritičko prosuđivanje i zauzimanje osobnih stavova, osnaživanje u suočavanju s fenomenima materijalističko-tehnološkoga društva i osposobljavanje za odgovorno i smisleno življenje u društvu degradirane ljudskosti. Također, rezultati su pokazali da partnerstvo između škole, obitelji i zajednice postaje još važnije zbog sve veće kompleksnosti odgoja. S tim povezano, nameće se nužnost osuvremeniti kompetencije učitelja s naglaskom na odgojne komponentne u smislu mogućnosti odgovora na odgojne zahtjeve škole.
