Magistro darbe išanalizuota vadovų patirtis bendrojo lavinimo mokyklose, nustatant pedagogų lūkesčius bei kylančius sunkumus kvalifikacijos tobulinimo sistemoje. Taip pat atlikta teorinė analizė apie pedagogų motyvaciją tobulėti, kvalifikacijos tobulinimą bei pačią kvalifikacijos tobulinimo sistemą. Atskleista, kokios priežastys neskatina pedagogų tobulinti kvalifikacijos. Aptartos pagrindinės motyvacinės teorijos, jų pritaikymas šiuolaikinėje kvalifikacijos tobulinimo sistemoje. Atliktas empirinis tyrimas parodė, kad mokyklose motyvavimo sistemos nėra, išskyrus išimtinius atvejus. Taip pat problemą gilina ir tai, kad vadovų nuomone, labiausiai motyvavimas tobulinti kvalifikaciją turėtų būti vidinis, t.y. kvalifikacijos tobulinimas tarsi tampa paties pedagogo problema. Tyrimo metu nustatyta, kad pedagogai tobulinant kvalifikaciją susiduria su įvairiais sunkumais: metodų parinkimas seminarų metu; laikas; vieta; dokumentacijų gausa; finansavimas; motyvacija. Tyrimo rezultatai patvirtino, jog kvalifikacijos tobulinimo sistema nėra ideali. Ją reikia nuosekliai peržiūrėti ir patobulinti, kad pedagogams, norintiems patobulinti turimą kvalifikaciją, nekiltų jokių problemų. / Master thesis analyzed the experience of leaders in general education schools, teachers' expectations and setting the difficulty in-service training system.

The study results confirmed that the training system is not perfect. It must be consistently reviewed and improved, that the qualifications for teachers who want to get up there would be no problem.
