This paper presents one part of the findings of a research that deals with teachers? perceptions of educational reforms in Serbia. More specifically, the paper focuses on the segment of the research that was aimed at exploring teachers? views on the ways of improving the system and practice of in-service teacher training. Pursuing this topic is very important since the findings of recent studies have shown that this aspect of education system needs considerable improvement, while the authors who deal with educational change point to the importance of consulting the teachers in the development of the new system solutions. The questionnaire was used to collect the data from 326 teachers from 125 Serbian primary schools. The teachers provided answers to open-ended questions on what needs to be done in order to improve the quality of their in-service training. Content analysis was used to process the data - response categories were created inductively on the basis of teachers? answers, and then their frequency was established. The results indicate that, according to teachers, in-service teacher training has to be improved, primarily through increased funding, higher quality of programmes/seminars, diversification of types of training, as well as through creating a more encouraging system and school setting for in-service teacher training. These results are significant from the aspect of the in-service training system since they point to developmental priorities, as well as to the necessity of a more complex and comprehensive approach to the reform of this segment of education system.

The relevance of this study is due to the question of the teacher’s worldview culture and ethics formation while nurturing the human capital in the conditions of Northern Russia. The study aims to identify the value foundations that underlie the ethno-pedagogical experience of generations. The study identifies and justifies the origins of the teacher’s philosophical culture and ethics formation and the value foundations that underlie the ethno-pedagogical experience, which ensures the transfer of spiritual and moral experience from generation to generation. The results of the study can be useful for school and university teachers, who can influence the formation of the students’ (future teachers’) ethics and worldview culture. The findings may also help predict trends in the development of teacher training system in modern conditions.

The integration of technology in language teaching has been one important topic in language education and teacher training. Teacher education has been one of the aims of telecollaboration since the beginning of the 2000’s. While the first pioneers worked with small groups of students (Develotte, Mangenot, & Zourou, 2005; MüllerHartmann, 2006), more recent projects are widening the application of telecollaboration for teacher education (Baroni et al., 2019). In the present article we present an adaptation of the model of Le Français en (Première) Ligne (hereafter F1L) proposed by Develotte et al. (2005) in two telecollaborative projects aiming at developing trainees’ techno-semiopedagogical competences.

The article considers the issue of studying modern European experience of practical teacher training. It was found out that efficiency of preparing future teachers to their practical activity directly depends on all the levels – from top to bottom – state educational policies and support, regulations in the field of teacher training, modern initial teacher training programmes, inner motivation to become a teacher. It is pointed out the need to apply an integrated approach in mastering the readiness to follow the profession. As we are talking about the European experience, a special attention is paid to study and analysis of regulatory European framework. It helps to define new strategies of developing practical teacher training system, offers recommendations on efficiency of implementing innovative methods and technologies in teacher training process. According to some reports of European Commission, the effectiveness of teacher training is determined by comprehending the teaching profession and the professional development of teachers as a coherent continuum with several, interconnected perspectives, which include teachers’ learning needs, support structures, job and career structures, competence levels and local school culture. Within practical teacher training there is a special role of partner schools where a special position belongs to a school-based teacher/ educator, who does his/ her duties on the basis of a partner school. That educator teaches pupils at school and has responsibilities to support partnership with a teacher training university or college in providing the practical training of students – future teachers. It means to be a mentor/ facilitator/ cooperating teacher. It is found out that basis of training is the practical formation of qualities which are essential for the future teacher`s practical training. Students are educated to develop such pedagogical characteristics as flexibility, reflexivity, awareness of the internal ambiguity of positions and points of view, ability to take alternative decisions and to form the following basic personality traits as sociability, creativity, mobility, independence, responsibility for the personal choice, decision and the results of the teachers` activities.

This article aims at offering a presentation – both from a diachronic, as well as from a contrastive perspective – of the teaching training programme provided by the West University of Timișoara, for future teachers of French as a Foreign Language. The training of future teachers has known two distinct stages at the above-mentioned University, in terms of chronology, content and organizing system. The connection between these stages was the Bologna Process, hence we can talk about a pre-Bologna training system and post-Bologna one. Some important landmarks distinguish these two stages, landmarks derived from different concepts regarding the training requirements for future teachers. Thus, the first stage is defined by a relatively limited number of imposed subjects of study (Pedagogy, Psychology, Teaching Methods, accompanied by an important number of practical training classes. This type of training was compulsory, and it was the only professional option of a graduate. The Bologna System once implemented; the disciplines imposed to the students’ teacher training process have a status of their own. They become optional, since teaching is no longer considered the only professional option for the graduates in Letters and French. The training as a whole consists of two main modules, one completed within the BA studies, the other, within the MA studies. Given the relatively important number of hours dedicated to this type of training, there is also a noticeable increase in the number and variety of the disciplines, both optional and mandatory. A synoptic table offers a parallel presentation of the two systems and of the dissimilarities between them. For a better understanding of the teacher training activities, the article gives a detailed presentation of both requirements, as well as of the stages of post- BA training a teacher must answer to, the status of teacher once attained: the ”definitivat” status, and the didactic degrees I and II, as well as other activities that ensure life-long training. We conclude with a presentation of the prospects of improving teacher training through the legal procedures the Ministry of Education has in view for the coming years.

The aim of this study is to establish the problems in training teachers who will be working at primary schools in the North Cyprus based on the opinions of faculty members, school administrators, teachers, and unionists. Using the qualitative research approach, open-ended, semi-structured questions developed by the authors were directed to the participants in order to establish the “teacher training problems” and to obtain data. The study group of the research was made up of six primary school teachers of the Ministry of National Education of North Cyprus, six school principals, six unionists from the administrative board of the Cyprus Turkish Teachers Union, and six faculty members from universities in the North Cyprus, which makes up a total of 24 people. The data obtained were analyzed using the inductive content analysis technique. The research revealed problems such as the inadequacy of application lessons in the teacher training system in the North Cyprus, the existence of selecting teacher candidates without a control or criteria, inadequacy of the pedagogical formation education, existence of teacher candidates entitled to get into permanent teaching positions after working as temporary teachers for 36 months, problems of supervision during the years of candidacy, appointing teachers for political interests, a teacher training process becoming a business for profit, inadequacy of faculty members in developing themselves, and in-service trainings not being implemented in a planned manner. In conclusion, recommendations were developed for educational faculties and the Ministry of National Education towards solving the problems of the system.

At present, the system of teacher training for future teachers being formed does not take into account the true nature of the methodological assistance that arises in the process of solving various practical tasks of the teacher. Our research is dedicated to form a methodological preparation system of future teachers for specialized teaching in curricular and extracurricular teaching processes. In the current paper we list the opportunities for learning, teaching and learning, as well as the presence of a leading contradiction between the unidentified functional features of the components that form the methodological system for the training of future teachers in curricula and outside the learning process. Thus, scientifically formulated methodological training allows future teachers to adapt to various changes in their professional assistance, skillfully apply teaching methods and use them by changing, using traditional and innovative approaches flexibly within their pedagogical "laboratory" framework to combine methodological knowledge and skills.Purpose of the study: To develop a system of methodological training of future professional education teachers in the process of study and out-of-class learning and to describe their functional components.Research Methods: studying of the mechanism of conditions in the field of globalization, preservation of the originality, cultural values, customs, traditions, expressing the importance of self-determination.Practical value: According to the system of methodological training provided, the future teacher develops methodological knowledge, business and skill based on subject and metaphorically developed functional character.
