Oportunități de cercetare științifică a cadrelor didactice

Abstract

The scientific research is a complex endeavor, which engages teaching staff in a well-defined process in terms of purpose, working methods and achievement. Each investigative approach is circumscribed by a broad framework and a specific context within which the research takes place. The teaching staff is engaged in scientific research according to the professional interests of every member; in accordance with the position within the educational structures and taking into account the professional obligations assumed directly. The research activity of teaching staff is significant in ensuring the educational foundations used to shape the personality of youngsters. The involvement of teaching staff in scientific research must respect the Aristotelian law of respite, as to include in the work the purpose for which it is done. In scientific research, a special role is played by the constructivist paradigm and hermeneutics, as a means of ensuring credibility in the research.
