Резиме: У раду се расправља о стручном усавршавању наставника средњих стручних школа путем информационо-комуникационих технологија. Представљено је квалитативно истраживање у којем је учествовало двадесет наставника средњих стручних школа са територије Републике Србије. Основни циљ истраживања био је да испитамо стручно усавршавање наставника средњих стручних школа путем информационо-комуникационих технологија и дамо одговор на питања: Каква је образовна припремљеност наставника средњих стручних школа за коришћење информационо-комуникационих технологија у сопственом стручном усавршавању? Какав је однос наставника средњих стручних школа према коришћењу информационо-комуникационих технологија у сопственом стручном усавршавању? Посредством којих форми наставници користе информационо-комуникационе технологије у сопственом стручном усавршавању? Налази указују на постојање више типова наратива наставника о постављеним питањима, и они варирају с обзиром на дужину радног искуства. Сви наставници имају позитиван однос према коришћењу информационо-комуникационих технологија у сопственом стручном усавршавању, оспособљени су за њихову примену, али се обим и интензитет, као и префериране форме коришћења информационо-комуникационих технологија у сопственом стручном усавршавању међу њима разликују.

Кључне речи: наставници средњих стручних школа, стручно усавршавање наставника, информационо-комуникационе технологије.

 

Summary: The paper elaborates on the professional development of the vocational school teachers by using the information and communication technologies. It describes a qualitative research which included 20 teachers of vocational schools in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The main aim of the research was to explore the vocational teachers’ professional development which involves using the information and communication technologies and to provide answers to the following questions: To what extent are the vocational school teachers prepared in terms of their education for using the information and communication technologies in their professional development? What are the opinions of these teachers regarding the use of the information and communication technologies in their professional development? What are the forms of using these technologies in the vocational school teachers’ professional development?
The research findings indicate that there are several types of teachers’ narratives regarding the above-mentioned questions and that these types vary relative to teachers’ years of work experience. All teachers expressed positive attitudes towards using the information and communication technologies in their professional development. They have been trained to use these technologies, but the scope and intensity, as well as the preferred forms, of using these technologies for the purpose of professional development vary among the teachers.

Кeywords: vocational school teachers, professional development, information and communication technologies.
