E-Learning prospects and teacher´s skills

Abstract

ELearning prospects and teacher´s skills are the core topics of this paper which aims at ICT implementation to the process of
education and teachers´ competence development. We investigate whether, and if so, how is changed the scope and content
of teachers' competencies related to the ICT implementation into the education process. Particular pedagogical and didactic
context within the use of ICT in education process are often examined. This paper aims especially at the general
epistemological, ethical and broader social context of eLearning. Primarily hermeneutic approach is used and the initial
sources of interpretation are provided by the means of frequency analysis of the motives of the students´ reflections. The
interview is used as a complementary method. Our results are based on frequency analysis of the motives of the students´
reflections at the Faculty of Teacher Training during the period of 2004/2005; 2009/2010, 2014/2015 academic years and
their comparison. The data are complemented by suggestions from interviews with teachers in 2010 and 2015. The personal,
social, professional and methodical competencies are highlighted. In the long term prospective of the investigated problem it
became apparent that the scope and content of teacher competencies have sustained core and shifts towards the need for a
greater range of competencies relate in particular to the use of ICT in the education process in a world of difference.
