Creative Practices in Developing Competencies of Future Pedagogues

Zorica Stanisavljević Petrović, Marija Marković

Abstract


The aim of contemporary education is to shape a competent individual capable of solving life problems based on existing knowledge, skills, and abilities, ready to navigate the information space, receive, use, and create information. Achieving this goal requires dedication from education professionals, primarily pedagogues, psychologists, and teachers who must possess integral quality in their profession, which is competency. The main objective of the research is to examine the opinions of pedagogy students about the potentials of a set of workshops collectively named Creative Pedagogical Practices (CPP) for the development of competencies of school pedagogues. The workshops were implemented in secondary schools as part of courses in the field of school pedagogy. The study employed a descriptive research method, using written structured interviews as the research instrument. Research data indicate that students’ expectations regarding the creation and implementation of CPP workshops are met, as they have recognized the potential for developing professional competencies in the domain of didactic-methodological knowledge, social skills, creativity and general competencies for working in school. Regarding the development of personal competencies, respondents mentioned that the implementation of workshops contributed to the development of their responsibility, self-confidence, and creativity, which they consider important qualities for future work in schools. The obtained research results can be relevant when creating study programs for educating educators, especially in light of a greater emphasis on practical activities during studies.
