DEFICIENCIES IN THE CURRENT PRE-UNIVERSITY EDUCATION AND FIELDS OF EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FUTURE TEACHERS

Abstract

The article analyzes a number of tendencies of current education and summarizes ideas that are in the area of concern of the students who are preparing to become teachers. The quality of the education system is related to the value of the students' learning outcomes, but it is also conditioned by the convergence of the educational initiatives. From the perspective of the students who have experience in psycho-pedagogical studies and who fathom applied fields, a number of existing or potential problems are validated. Thus, the students indicated as the main deficiencies, that require initiatives: absenteeism, poor results in learning in the fields of science, technology, insufficient digital skills and curricular overload. There is a consonance between the titles or lists of proposals of future teachers and the directions of educational policy, and the practical accomplishment of the actual projects requires, first of all, analyzes and group debates, from those who are preparing to initiate educational projects. In addition to the main problems, considered deficient, we were interested in the propositions of concrete solutions, and although students had some contagions with the titles of certain projects already implemented in Romania, they used formulations that highlighted the qualities of a desirable education: participatory; restructured/ recovered; electronic; communityoriented; extracurricular; curricularly developed. The effects of the pandemic situation between 2020-2022, in education, have led the future teachers to become aware of the role the projects that integrate interdisciplinarily, information and communication technologies have.
