Educational change – a multiplex phenomenon, what impacts on the achievements of children, is hoped only then it encompas a whole chain of events: from education politics through the local context and its interpretation to the activity in the classroom. The radical social alternations caused the educational change in Lithuania. The purpose of the survey: to analyze the standpoints of Utena region pedagogues from different types of schools to the educational change. Smmarizing the results of survey it can be maintained, that the leaders and teachers of Utena region educational institutions, first in the country joint the establishment of educational system in independent Lithuania and are open to the changes.

Today, during the society’s democratization process, the role of the primary school head teacher has not lost its significance, on the contrary, it has developed into a qualitatively new level. Now the head teacher is not only an efficient doer, but also the initiator of the institution’s policy and the guarantee of successful team work. The success and efficiency of the organisation activity depends on leader’s personality and qualified management: planning, organization, supervision control. So, the head teacher of nowadays is a strategist, manager, administrator, leader, etc.

The subject of a master's work- the features of parents involvement in a nurture of children in preschool groups.

The relevance of the work is revealed both in present literature of philosophy, management, psychology and education, and works of thinkers of the past. Humane education must help for the personality to grow, develop, and feel its own value. Though, traditional school, the functions of which are to educate human, ignores the most of aspects of person who studies, but also the life itself is viewed schematic, simplified or even primitive. Hence, what alternatives are possible for traditional, didactic, lost touch with the life school? I think that humane school, i.e. the one, where everything is oriented into person – both studying and working there. Consequently it is necessary that school leaders would look after these processes. The object of the research – activities of school leaders in forming of humane relations at school. Hypothesis of the research – school leaders really pay too little attention in order to create humane relations at school, because they are not tend to follow flexible policy of command, do not consider pupils as partners, pay little attention to self-expression, they are not tend to consider human individuality, do not stimulate communication, they spend too little time for communication with teachers and pupils. The aim of the work – to define the abilities of school leaders in forming of humane relations at school. Key research objectives: 1) to ascertain the essence, meaning, managing assumptions of education of... [to full text]

Magistro darbe yra suformuluota Lietuvos švietimo sistemos politikos problema – nors švietimo kokybė yra nurodoma kaip vienas iš svarbiausių švietimo politikos prioritetų, nėra vieningo sutarimo, kas yra švietimo kokybė, kokiais kriterijais remiantis matuoti kokybę švietimo sistemoje. Atlikta Lietuvos Respublikos norminių aktų, kuriais vadovaujantis nustatomi švietimo sistemos prioritetai, analizė. Išanalizuoti įvairių Lietuvos ir užsienio autorių teoriniai ir praktiniai darbai, kuriais siekta patikslinti bendrojo lavinimo vidurinės mokyklos švietimo kokybės sampratą. Patvirtinama autorės suformuluota mokslinio darbo hipotezė, kad švietimo kokybei matuoti sukurta Valstybės švietimo stebėsenos rodiklių sistema nepakankamai apima bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos mokomuosius dalykus, be to, mokyklose vykdomas vidaus ir išorės auditas analizuoja mokyklą kaip atskirą švietimo sistemos vienetą, o abiejų tipų audito rezultatai neatsispindi Valstybės švietimo stebėsenos rodiklių sistemoje. Atsakydama į iškeltus tikslus, autorė formuluoja mokslinio darbo išvadas. Švietimo kokybė – tai visuma požymių, apibūdinančių švietimo įstaigą kaip sudėtinį švietimo sistemos vienetą, kurio kokybišką egzistavimą lemia mokomoji aplinka, mokymo priemonės, kvalifikuoti pedagogai, pamokinė ir popamokinė veikla, moksleivių pasiekimai, mokyklos bendruomenės (tėvų, mokinių, pedagogų ir visuomenės) tarpusavio santykiai, kuriems vertinti pasitelkiamas vidinis vertinimas (savianalizė) ir išorinis (ekspertinis)...

The acts of Lithuanian Republic defining the priorities of education system were analyzed. On purpose to specify the conception of quality at secondary school education, the analysis of works by Lithuanian and foreign authors was performed. The hypothesis stated by the author in the study is confirmed. According to the author, the system of education monitoring indicators developed by the state to measure the quality of education is insufficient as far as the subjects at secondary school are concerned. Moreover, the school is analyzed as a separate unit of the education system while the internal and external audit is being accomplished there. Besides, the results of both the internal and external audit are not reflected in the state’s system of education monitoring indicators. According to objects the author proposed to herself, the inferences of the study are drawn. The quality of education is the whole of features, characterizing educational institution as the multiple unit of the education system which existence of quality is referred to teaching and learning environment, instructional aids, qualified educators, school and extra-curricular activities, the achievements...

Mokytojai išskyrė šias svarbiausias problemas vaikams šiandieninėje Lietuvoje - jie nėra apsaugoti nuo skurdo; per daug mato smurto, sekso scenų per televiziją, internetą; taip pat neapsaugoti nuo narkomanijos pavojaus. Rekomenduojama dažniau atlikti sociologinius tyrimus, gerinant švietimo reformos būklę Lietuvos bendrojo lavinimo mokyklose; daugiau dėmesio skirti švietimo strategijai, konkretizuojant kai kuriuos švietimo vystymo aspektus. / The aim of this master thesis is to evaluate the present situation of Lithuanian education reform in comprehensive schools and overview the perspectives of its development.

In order to make the reform more effective in Lithuanian comprehensive schools it is recommended to carry out sociological researches more often, to pay more... [to full text]
