This paper explores the effects of the programs for continuing professional education (CPE) of teachers involved in CARDS-VET Project in Serbia (as a part of reform processes in the VET domain). A main objective of this empirical study was to explore effects of CARDS-CPE programs on planning and managing similar programs in future.
As main indicators of effects of the CARDS-CPE programs we considered perception of: improvement of personal characteristics relevant to profession, changes in basic professional competences, improvement of interpersonal communication competences, and improvement of competences for education planning and management. These effects were investigated considering respondents’ beliefs about their own profession, previous experiences in CPE, perception of their own professional experience, expressed needs to participate in other CPE programs, and considering some bio-social and work-related characteristics of the respondents.
The collected data was subjected to ...principal axis analysis, with the Varimax rotation, Canonical Correlation Analysis and Discriminant Analysis. Research findings imply importance of careful andragogical design of CPE programs based on teacher beliefs, their learning needs and some bio-social and work-related characteristics.
