DESCRIPTIVE STUDY ON THE REASONS FOR CHOOSING PEDAGOGY OF PRIMARY AND PRESCHOOL EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to identify the reasons why students (N = 155) from University of Oradea choose Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education study program (PPPE). Data were obtained by a two-dimension questionnaire. The first dimension of the questionnaire focuses on the students’ reasons for choosing Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education study program (PPPE) (16 items) and the second deals with the facts they consider important during their teacher training performed with pupils in schools (16 items). Data were analyzed by descriptive items (average and standard deviation). We reach the conclusion that students’ reasons for choosing this specialization are: “I love working with children and teenagers” (a1st_year=4,790, a2nd_year=4,574, a3rd_year=4,743) and “Teaching is interesting, complex and diversified” (a1st_2nd_3rd_year=4,380). The last reason they had chosen is "Because I had no other ideas" (a1st_2nd_3rd_year=1,33). The focus on teacher training practice is on the idea that the teacher should be a role model for students, both in family and public life (a1st_2nd_3rd_year=4,581).
