The Quality of Vocational Training of Teachers in Empirical Research

Abstract

Nowadays it is increasingly difficult to find a teacher who is only qualified to teach one subject. Teachers are faced with very high demands, which are often difficult to meet. This has contributed greatly to the state of affairs of the civilization revolution, the huge increase in information and the unprecedented pace of change that has strengthened the value of education in the labor market and has made its quality one of the priorities of modern education. More and more often we are dealing with multi-faceted teachers, which means that one teacher has the competence to teach two or more subjects. Often these extra items are quite distant from this basic.

This situation is largely dictated by economic considerations. The school prefers to have fewer omni-directional teachers who do the work of a dozen or so people, which greatly reduces the cost of employment. It is also beneficial from the perspective of the teachers themselves, who find it increasingly difficult to keep up in school. Acquiring qualifications in areas that do not coincide in any way is currently a common phenomenon in the Polish education system.

The aim of the research was to get acquainted with the opinions of teachers from the Ostrowiec district on the quality of supplementary education. The research was conducted among teachers of primary and lower secondary schools in the Ostrowiec district. The diagnostic survey method was applied, which used the polling technique.
