This article describes a new kind of postgraduate education in Poland, which allows a teacher to gain qualification of certain subject or training required for the particular type of employment. This type of postgraduate education school has determined new opportunities, as it has been implemented through creative plans for teachers on implementing innovative ideas in teaching practice. It has been determined that postgraduate education is an investment in human resources, investment equivalent to, or even more, than material or physical investment. Two models of postgraduate education have been characterized – «consumer model» and «progressive model». «The consumer model» of postgraduate education is characterized by the specific pedagogical knowledge obtained in order to meet immediate needs related to the improvement of educational practice. The content of «progressive model» is a provision stating that only creative, advanced teacher who has social and psychological skills, is able to provide a personal and intellectual development of students. In addition, only the teacher, who is self-fulfilled, can fully shape their students need to self-realization. Based on questionnaires, interviews, conversations empirical data analysis is presented, these findings can be used in postgraduate education of preschool and primary school teachers: a clear concept of specialized training – the need to develop functional skills teacher; the concept of functional orientation – need more qualifications for teachers and activity forms of learning; innovation model – methods and forms that enable active and independent and the resulting individual needs to obtain broad knowledge and skills.

The current study aimed to collect relevant feedback on teaching practice effectiveness in relation to the tutors, students’ engagement in teaching practice, as well as self-reflection regarding necessary competences for a primary school teacher. Pedagogical activities within the teaching practice have considered: students’ online attendance to the classes held by the primary teacher, filling in an observation form regarding the lessons taught, mentorship session for analyzing the lessons along with the teachers, drafting a psycho-pedagogical record for a pupil, filling a form on reviewing the student’s performance and implication in the teaching practice. Having concluded the study’s results, we can now state that the teaching practice’s way of planning in the second school semester has proven efficient. The mentor-student / inter-student interaction has contributed to developing competences that a primary school teacher does require, through the feedback provided by the observation forms, as well as by involving students directly in the didactic activities, encouraging initiative and self-reflection. Objective analysis of results, suggestions, proposals, as well as difficulties encountered has made it possible to build a solid reference for future teaching practice – both online and in the classroom – and working towards improving it and all its partakers.

This study sought to examine the quality of teaching practice (TP) mentoring in the teaching of music at primary school level through the distance mode of training at one college of education in Zimbabwe. The study examined the experiences and perceptions of lecturers and student teachers on TP mentoring in music within the context of a distance mode of teacher training. A purposive sample of 17 music student teachers and 11 lecturers was selected. The study employed a qualitative case study research design in which one-on-one interviews, focus group discussions and documentary analysis were used to collect data. The main conclusion from the study was that the distance approach to teacher training was not effectively utilised for teacher preparation in music due to inadequate music knowledge and skills of mentor teachers as well as weaknesses of the school curriculum. Recommendations drawn from these conclusions are that the teaching practice period should not be the same for all subjects and more demanding subjects such as music deserve to be practiced more. Student teachers specialising in music must be placed for teaching practice where there are music specialist teachers. This study also recommends that the placement of music student teachers for teaching practice be undertaken jointly by the teaching practice coordinators and the music specialist lecturer.

There is a great deal of interest in researching the perception of teachers about their first years in teaching; however, the research does not often focus on examining the views of primary school teachers. This is despite the fact that their multidisciplinary training, their multidimensional role, and their teaching practice, usually tied to one class group, may lead to their different perception of the first years in practice and therefore to other needs in the field of their support. This article will present the results of a questionnaire survey focused on the perception of the teaching profession during the first years of practice among graduates of the Primary School Teacher Training study programme at the Faculty of Education of Charles University. The respondents show a positive attitude towards the profession; they say that teaching brings them joy and fulfilment. At the same time, they are aware of the great responsibility that the profession brings. From their answers it is clear they have a strong emotional connection to the children and they are interested in their cognitive development. The results of the survey also show that the respondents are sensitive to society’s underestimation of the importance and complexity of the teaching profession. Keywords: newly qualified teacher, novice teacher, beginning teacher, teacher induction, primary school teaching, perception of the teaching profession

Resumen:El presente estudio pretende conocer y analizar las percepciones que muestra un grupo de profesores de educación básica en servicio (n 98), con especialidad asignada en lenguaje y matemática y perteneciente al departamento de Usulután (El Salvador, Centroamérica), acerca de cuáles deben ser las competencias que caractericen a un buen docente de este nivel educativo. Los participantes eran beneficiarios del Proyecto Luxemburgo, orientado a fortalecer el desarrollo profesional de los profesores para la mejora de la práctica en el aula y realizado en el marco de la cualificación docente que impulsa el Ministerio de Educación de El Salvador con la cooperación internacional del Gran Ducado de Luxemburgo. Debido al carácter homogéneo de la población (683 profesores en activo), para el cálculo de la muestra se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico-intencionado. Se diseñó y aplicó un cuestionario de 45 ítems con respuesta de escala Likert, agrupados en tres dimensiones de competencias derivadas de las determinadas por el Proyecto Tuning América Latina (Beneitone et al., 2007) y de la taxonomía sobre competencias en educación elaborada por Perrenoud (2004). Los resultados indican una alta coincidencia entre los participantes, y de éstos con los hallazgos de otros estudios, sobre qué es lo que un docente de educación básica necesita saber y hacer para desempeñarse satisfactoriamente en su trabajo. Estos resultados son de utilidad para la reformulación y mejora de los planes de estudio de formación del profesorado en El Salvador (Centroamérica), así como para su uso eventual en estudios de comparación internacional. Abstract:The current study aims to identify and analyze the perceptions that a group of primary school in-service teachers with specialty in Spanish language and Mathematics (n 98), belonging to the Usulután Department (El Salvador, Central America) have about what competencies should characterize a good teacher of this educational level. The participants were beneficiaries of the Luxembourg project that intended to strengthen the teachers’ professional development to improve their teaching practice. This was made within the teachers’ qualification program that was promoted by the Ministry of Education of El Salvador with the support of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Due to the homogeneous nature of the sample (683 in-service teachers), an intentional non-probabilistic sample method was applied in order to obtain the calculation of the sample. The data was obtained through a survey with questions and answers using the Likert scale which let to group the gathered information in three competency dimensions derived from the ones determined by the Tuning America Latina (Beneitone et al., 2007) and the taxonomy about educational competencies elaborated by Perrenoud (2004). The results, as well as the findings obtained with other studies regarding what a primary school teacher must know and do to work successfully, show a high percentage of agreement among the participants. These results will be of great importance to the reformulation and improvement of the syllabi of the teacher training programs in El Salvador (Central America) as well as being used eventually in international comparative studies.

The problem of introducing distance learning in primary school is actualized by the development of social networks and Internet technologies, which open unlimited horizons for their application in educational activities. In addition, the introduction of quarantine in Ukraine requires primary school teachers to find ways to effectively master the program material. Among such ways is distance learning. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the specifics and possibilities of organizing the educational process in primary school with the use of distance learning. In the process of scientific research methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization and systematization were used. Distance learning in primary school is defined as a form of organization and implementation of the educational process, in which the subjects of learning (teachers and students) in the online mode carry out educational interaction in principle and mainly extraterritorially. In the context of reforming modern Ukrainian education, a number of e-platforms have been created for the organization of distance learning for primary school students. An effective commercial platform for distance learning is the service "My Class", which contains online courses from 1st to 11th grade, which contain lessons that integrate theoretical (test presentation of content) and practical (individual tasks that can be solved independently of each other, a block of tasks that need to be solved sequentially, guidelines) blocks. Result. Emphasis is placed on the requirements to be met by a primary school teacher when organizing distance learning in primary school during the quarantine period and it is suggested to advise parents who will work remotely with junior students in the initial stages of distance learning, gradually transferring activity to children.
