Effective Management of Innovative Processes in Latvian Education: Teacher-mentors view
研究拉脱维亚教师导师认为哪些教师能力能有效管理教育创新，以及促进或阻碍创新引入的因素，基于173名教师导师的调查。
The current problems and obvious contradictions in Latvia's education require flexib ility in pedagogical work: one the one hand, the system of Latvian education needs changes, and on the other hand, we also need people who will advance and stimu late these processes. This poses a question: what are the most essential teacher's co mpetences which can ensure the introduction of innovations into education? The purpose of this research is to investigate those teacher's competences which would ensure effective management of innovative processes in education, and to study opinions of Latvian teacher-mentors about factors contributing to or impeding the introduction of innovations into Latvian education. In this research, teacher's competences which can ensure the introduction of innovations into education were formu lated. By applying a questionnaire survey method, teacher-mentors' (N= 173) opinions were studied: a) about those most essential teacher competences that can ensure the introduction of innovations into education; b) about factors that contribute to or impede the introduction of innovations into the Latvian education system.
