Summary/Abstract: The term open educational resource (OER) was first used in 2002 by the UNESCO. According to Butcher (2011), these resources are in an open way available without the need to pay license or copyright.Research Goals: Determining OER use in the context of formal, non-formal and informal learning, as well as knowing if there is a relationship between them and the occupational category of teacher or student. Measurement is done by applying the method of research by sampling, on a sample of n = 777, in the Technological High schools in Harghita county. As an instrument we use a questionnaire with 15 questions structured in three chapters: Knowledge of OER; Using OER; Needs/opinions about OER. This analysis is summed up in presenting the use of OER in various educational forms. In trying to describe connections between nominal variables we call on their presentation in the form of contingency tables and mosaic diagrams. Inferential statistics is made by comparing the frequency data using the Chi-square test. According to our hypothesis, differences between frequencies observed and expected in the case of the occupational form in terms of „the way of use of OER in different educational environments” are significant. Hs6: pp≠pe is accepted, teachers tend to use OER in every form of education more frequently than the students.
