Training of pedagogical staff to ensure the quality of the educational process in preschool educational institutions

Abstract

The aim of this article was to evaluate the training of teachers to ensure the quality of the educational process in pre-school education institutions. The research is based on data from a structured interview with 3447 teachers of pre-school education in the Czech Republic. The study revealed a high level of training of Czech pre-school teachers in terms of the following elements: content of teaching subjects, general pedagogy and classroom practice of teaching subjects. The research also revealed the disadvantages associated with teaching pre-school children in a multicultural environment: lack of skills to work with children from different ethnic groups; methods of work are not adapted to the needs of children from different cultures; lack of understanding of how effectively children from different cultures work together; lack of awareness of cultural differences of children.
