RESEARCH ON THE TEACHERS' NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR COMBATING SCHOOL DROPOUT
Keywords:
teachers, needs, school dropout, research, questionnaires,Abstract
This paper presents a small part from the research conducted within an Erasmus+
project, in six European countries, on reducing early leaving in vocational
education and training. Today, at the European level, school dropout or early
leaving from education and training is a serious issue and preventing and reducing
this phenomenon is a priority. An important role in combatting this phenomenon
belongs to the teachers, which need to increase their awareness of the underlying
causes and to strengthen their capacity to take action to prevent school dropout and
support students who are at risk. Through our research, we aim to discover the real
current needs of the teachers for further developing an innovative and competitive
training programme, which provide them new and modern supportive strategies and
tools. The needs analysis is carried out through two types of researches: background
research, and small-scale research, based on answers to questionnaires.
