The sample has shown significant
difference of the experience regarding

Only 10 teachers attended such a
program abroad, 9 of the courses
attended only by 2 teachers.

attended this type of meetings have
only 1 attendance.

The importance of the aspects which might influence the selection of a training program by the teachers have been
scaled from 1 (very poor) to 5 (strong influence). An average among all answers has been done.
It appears that the most important aspects for selection are the training content, the validation and certification
and the training length. Some average influence is expressed regarding the training date and travel and access to
the course, as well as the lecturer’s CV, the social and cultural program which the training provider could offer
and the location of the training.
