2022, Competencies of teachers and directors in schools as a factor in building a contemporary educational system

Abstract

The contemporary methods used in education impose the need to implement frequent changes in the methods and the ways used to realize the teaching content, as well as the other types of activities in and out of school that present a tool for betterment of the quality of the whole educational process which effects reflect on the development of the character of every student. These kinds of methods require, before all else, a big engagement from the teachers and their full preparation to accept these changes as a challenge, which on the other hand it creates a necessity of their lifelong learning and continuous professional development. The changes that come out of the contemporary methods during a teaching process more frequently imposes the need to develop the medial-didactic competencies of the teachers. With one goal, which the teachers develop to the required level, a teacher needs to have a "strong" mental model which will go in favor of accepting and implementing the changes as an opportunity, not only that but also as a mission that comes out of the responsibility of the profession that they have chosen to do.
