The paper reports on the concept, implementation and findings of qualitative research focused on an electronic portfolio. The research aimed to explore the use of an electronic portfolio in the learning process of lower-secondary school pupils in the Czech Republic concerning their career choice. The primary research question was defined as whether we can consider an electronic portfolio as an appropriate learning tool to support pupils’ preparation for their career choice. The research sought to (a) analyse the current process of pupils’ preparation for their career choice; (b) evaluate the appropriateness of an electronic portfolio as a supportive learning tool for career choice based on the experience from last years; (c) evaluate the appropriateness of an electronic portfolio for the pupils’ self-reflection and self-evaluation development and (d) suggest optimum learning scenarios, which could be implemented into learning through educational activities. In the first stage of the action research, the pupils described their preferred occupation and specified formal and informal job requirements using cloud technologies. In the second stage, a teacher assessed pupils’ work with the assistance of an external interviewer. In the third stage, pupils prepared a curriculum vitae and cover letter for an imaginary employer using a professional portfolio. An imaginary recruitment process followed. It was organized by an external interviewer using pupils’ job applications.

Abstract We are witnessing a paradigm shift regarding the theatrologist’s position in the Romanian theatre environment. While, until recently, theatrology meant cultural journalism, this definition is no longer sufficient or attractive for secondary school graduates. Romania’s higher education offer has changed increasingly in the last years, in the attempt to keep up with the requirements of the labour market; the solution was provided by the area of cultural management. Every last faculty in this sector covers the new direction of study and research. This article seeks to investigate the existing educational offers, which should allow an understanding and a new complete image of the theatrologist in Romania; in our opinion, this image will have an increasing impact on the national theatre community, shaped, of course, by the new directions of study.
