VOCATIONAL TEACHERS' STANDPOINTS ON EDUCATIONAL INTERACTION
Abstract
It is assumed that the content of the broad concept of educational interaction consists of many related components and competences that determine the quality of vocational education and training. In order to understand the educational interaction, the vocational teachers' experience in communicating with modern students, their behaviors and insights better, the qualitative research was conducted. The research design was based on five group interviews with 48 vocational teachers from vocational education and training institutions in Lithuania. While selecting research participants for interviews the authors of the research paper tried to include a wide range of teaching experiences (different positions in the school, qualification categories, subjects, age, work experience, etc.). The data were collected using a semi-structured interview questionnaire. The axial data coding that distinguished the educational interaction phenomenon as research result – preparation of a skilled worker for the labor market was applied. The premises for this interaction, contexts, and operational strategies used, context-related factors and the consequences of the interaction have been distinguished.
