Abstract

The aim of the research study was to design various methods in which to improve continuous professional training of teachers for the position of mentor. Accordingly, essential key competences referred to as representing teachers’ further professional development were identified in the current research study. Based on the results collected from the pilot seminars carried out through the course of the research as well as results collected from completed questionnaires for mentors, actual and potential problems and the needs of secondary school teachers in Slovakia were identified. The presented research results are a summary of the collected research data.
