Šiandien visuomenė labai pasitiki švietimu. Visas vaikų ugdymo problemas užkrauna pedagogams, ko neturėtų būti. Pedagogai nėra pajėgūs vieni visapusiškai ugdyti vaikų, šiuo atveju ugdyti ir profesinei veiklai. Prie pedagogo ugdymo turėtų prisijungti tėvai, visuomenė ir valstybė, nors šiai dienai tai yra labai sunku įgyvendinti. Tėvai ugdydami savo vaikus profesinei veiklai taip pat turi lūkesčių kaip ir patys vaikai ir neretai bando juos įgyvendinti. Remiantis S. Kregždės (1988), L. Jovaišos (1999) tyrimais galime daryti išvadą, kad Lietuvoje yra sukurtas teorinis pamatas, kurio dėka galima toliau plėtoti karjeros pasirinkimo metodus, ugdymą profesinei veiklai. Tyrimo objektas – tėvų, auginančių 5-6 metų vaikus, lūkesčiai ugdant juos profesinei veiklai. Tyrimo tikslas – ištirti tėvų, auginančių 5-6 metų vaikus, lūkesčius ugdant juos profesinei veiklai. Tyrimo metodologija. Tyrime remtasi L. S. Gottfredson ir D. E. Super asmenybės profesinės veiklos raidos teorijomis, bei D. H. Pink šiuolaikinės karjeros koncepsija (Lego karjera). Tyrimo metodai. 1. Teoriniai: mokslinės literatūros analizė. 2. Empiriniai: anketinė apklausa. 3. Statistinė duomenų analizė (pirminiai duomenys apdoroti SPSS ir Microsoft Exel kompiuterinėmis programomis).

It offloads all problems of children education on educators, what should not be so. The educators are not able to educate each child comprehensively, in this case, also to educate for their vocational activities. Parents, society and the state should associate with the educators in the education, although for this day, it is very difficult to implement that. In career education, the parents have expectations as well as their children themselves and often try to implement them. Based on the studies of S. Kregždė (1988), L. Jovaiša (1999), we may conclude that Lithuania has developed a theoretical foundation, which makes it possible to develop further the methods of career choice and career education. The subject of the research is the career education expectations of parents growing children of 5-6 years old. The aim of the research is to examine the expectations of parents growing children of 5-6 years in their career education.

Life-long learning determines the possibilities of learning and improving the needs of all the citizens of the country. Health care personnel who have to improve their professional qualification are becoming active participants of this process. While associating to a common European nursing space, nurses are facing new requirements and this influences their professional competence. This is the reason why it is very important to find out how nurses improve their professional qualification considering the notions of life-long learning. The aim of this report is to reveal the features of nurses’ professional qualification in the context of life-long learning. According to the analysis of legal aspects of the development of nurses’ professional qualification, the professional development of this group of specialists is regulated by the state. It is as well formalized and inflexible. Incomplete national attitude towards adult learning suggests that the distribution of financial resources in health care system is not properly settled as far as the improvement of nurses’ qualification is concerned. It also causes restrictions of learning accessibility in social, financial and economical aspects. The data of the research has highlighted the salient problems that nurses face with. Among others, one is that the existing system of professional improvement is not adjusted to the implementation of notions of life-long learning. Nurses do not feel secure because of permanent changes in... [to full text]
