Abstract:
Ministerial Decree 621/2024 initiated university and academic courses for the initial training and certification of common subject teachers and technical-practical instructors for secondary schools. This contribution aims to present the preliminary findings of an observational-descriptive study conducted on a sample of 260 teachers in scientific disciplines participating in a module on "Fundamentals of General Didactics." The guiding research question was: What are the implicit beliefs held by teachers, and how do these interact with their professional training? The study explored the underlying motivations for beginning such a program, participants' preconceptions and beliefs regarding teaching practices, reported teaching practices from their previous experience, and feedback at the end of the training program. The findings highlighted a significant influence of implicit beliefs on the willingness to embrace change. This study fits within the broader context of national and international research on teacher change.
