Atsižvelgiant į šiuolaikines problemas ir poreikius integruotis multikultūrinėje visuomenėje, Lietuvoje kilo susidomėjimas kalbų mokymo bei mokymosi, dvikalbystės ugdymo, dvikalbių programų kūrimo bei dvikalbių pedagogų rengimo klausimais. Daugiausia tai siejama su tautinių mažumų atstovų integracija į Lietuvos visuomenę. Tyrimu siekta nustatyti, kaip dvikalbystės formavimosi procesas vystėsi vyresnio amžiaus tautinių mažumų mokyklų įvairių tautybių mokytojų (kaip individų) tarpe; kaip socialinė-komunikacinė aplinka įtakojo pedagogų dvikalbystės vystymąsi; nustatyti kitakalbės ir daugiakultūrės aplinkos, kuri supa mokytojus, privalumus ir trūkumus. / Novelti of the thesis: A number of the theses on bilingualism were issued within recent years. However, nobody had been researching the item on bilingualism of the teachers (as individuals). The results of the investigation: After having analyzed the data of the investigation, the presumption that prior to starting their work in the multilingual environment, the teachers already have a certain lingual base in the family and in the aducational institution, may be drawn. The main reasons of complexity of work with the other-language-speaking pupils are related with lack of skills and knowledge of the same teachers. The teacher has the possibility to develop his/her native and other language skills while working in the multilingual environment, while dealing with the methodical material or while staying in his own social environment. As the society`s demands change, so today the teacher has not only to lay efforts, seeking to satisfy the pupils` and parents` expectations, but should also be able to adapt himself/herself to the developing multilingual environment.

Tyrimo aktualumas. Greitai besikeičiančiame pasaulyje, mokykloje, ikimokyklinėse įstaigose, kaip ir kitose visuomenės gyvenimo srityse iškyla naujų, spręstinų problemų, joms išspręsi pedagogams dažnai nepakanka įgytų kompetencijų, todėl būtina nuolat mokytis ir keistis. Darbuotojai, o ypatingai pedagogai turi būti pasirengę nuolatiniam mokymuisi, taip pat priimti žinias, kad galėtų ne tik sėkmingai realizuoti save darbo pasaulyje, bet ir perteikti žinias žmonių grupei organizacijoje, kuri siekia bendrų tikslų. Taigi, šiame kontekste kyla aibė probleminių klausimų: kokia mokymosi organizacijoje patirtis yra ikimokyklinio ugdymo institucijoje ir kaip ji prisideda prie pedagogų profesinio mobilumo, kokie veiksniai turi įtakos pedagogų mokymui(si) organizacijoje, kaip galima skatinti pedagogų profesinį mobilumą tiriant mokymo(si) organizacijoje per kvalifikacijos tobulinimo(si) sistemas patirtį ir kt.

Tyrimo tikslas – teoriškai pagrįsti ir empiriškai ištirti ikimokyklinių įstaigų pedagogų profesinio mobilumo skatinimo prielaidas ir galimybes tiriant jų mokymosi organizacijoje patirtį. / Relevance of the research. Rapidly changing the world, in school, preschools, and other areas of public life are arising new challenges to solve the problems and educators often insufficient competences, so it is necessary to learn and change constantly. Personnel, particularly the educators must be prepared to learn permanent, to take the knowledge and be able to realize successfully in the world of work and to transfer knowledge for a group of people in an organization that seeks common goals. So, in this context, there is a number of issues: what is the experience of learning in the organization of pre-school educational institution and how it contributes to teachers' professional mobility, what factors affect training (learning) in teachers' organization, how to promote teachers' professional mobility investigating training (learning) in the organization during the system of professional development, experience and so on. These questions and assume the pedagogical problem of this work. The object of investigation: promotion of pre-school teachers' professional mobility. The study hypothesis.

Nenoras lankyti mokyklą yra kompleksinio pobūdžio problema. Todėl socialinio pedagogo individualus darbas su nenorinčiu lankyti mokyklos mokiniu regimas ne kaip savitikslis lokalios problemos sprendimas, bet kaip grandis, vedanti prie mokyklos nelankymo problemų sprendimo platesniu mastu. Tačiau praktikoje šia galimybe naudojamasi ribotai. Todėl mokykloje yra reikalinga komandinio darbo plėtotė. Taip pat aktyvi socialinio pedagogo asmeninė iniciatyva pasinaudoti individualaus darbo metu sukauptomis žiniomis ir teikti ugdymo įstaigoje reikiamus pokyčius, kurie mažintų nenorinčių lankyti mokyklą mokinių skaičių ateityje. / Unwillingness to attend school is a problem of complex nature. Hence individual work of a social pedagogue with pupils who do not want to attend school is not seen as a solution of local problem but as a link that leads to the solution of school nonattendance to a large extent. However in practice this possibility is not widely applied. Consequently, at school there is a need for team work development. Social pedagogue’s personal initiative is active to use knowledge acquired during individual work and to provide necessary changes in an educational institution that would decrease the number of pupils who do not want to attend school in the future.
