Eencoding the research data according to categories, they are ranked in the following order: communication, education process, and teacher’s preparedness, personality and achievements. It was observed that communication and achievements are often linked with school learners, whereas personality is related to an educator. The content of categories shows that teachers refer to classical paradigm of education, which is grounded on direct contribution of an educator to school learners’ learning. New education technologies and learners achievements are presented only episodically. Structural generalisation of the research data revealed the fact that teachers include all the elements of competence in the general context; however, only one respondent refers to them all jointly. Tthe research confirms the vitality of competence structure and its reality. In terms of content, the attitudes of teachers are more similar to the conception of competences pre¬sented in the ‘Outline of the national qualifications framework of Lithuania’, where personal, social and ethic competences are distinguished.
