PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE TRAINING OF TECHNICAL TEACHERS

Abstract

All psychological effects prevail only through intrinsic conditions of the individual. So the psychological theories of learning demand differentiated treatment and effective methodological solutions. This statement is true in the case of adult students as well. Training adults can only be successful if we consider general age characteristics, the qualification of the participants, their previous knowledge, their life and work experiences, their problems, their attitudes and interests, their needs and prejudices, emotions etc. Thus the achievement of adults must be considered as the expression of their whole personality. Accordingly, an important basic task is to clarify their expectations toward the training (what kind of information, knowledge etc. they need) and to collect the personality requirements necessary for the profession. In this work I present the results of interviews and questionnaires (self-evaluation).
