Summary/Abstract: This descriptive study focuses on understanding the degree of satisfaction of students enrolled in Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education, in blended weekend classes, at the University of Oradea (N=58) towards their specialization, as well as their motifs for choosing their career. Research tool was the questionnaire-based investigation. Research results point out that most students choose this specialization without being influenced by external factors, but for personal reasons. The reasons for becoming a teacher (for choosing this specialization) are linked to the fact they prefer to work with children/pupils, they want to retrain or they follow the example of a teacher they had in school. Their reasons for choosing this mode of education are given by the fact they have already started a new family, they have a full-time job, they live at great distances or they are already working as teachers, but they need the higher education graduation diploma. A higher percentage of students believe this specialization is the most suitable option for them, and they would recommend both, the specialization and mode of education to other future students. Students believe blended weekend classes mode of education is offering them various opportunities for their professional training, is suitable, student-centered, encouraging, accessible, practice-based, centered on group work (cooperative learning).
