摘要：The monograph, written by a group of five Slovenian experts:C. Peklaj, J. Kalin, S. Pečjak, M. Puklek Levpušček and M. ValenčičZuljan, from the fields of educational and developmental psychologyand teaching methods (didactics), deals with an area that is enjoyingincreasing attention, the area of teacher competencies. Teachers areregarded, perhaps too optimistically, as “a driving force of social development”.One of the central problems is the question as to which competenciesteachers need in order to promote students’ overall development,enabling them to prosper in the complex world of tomorrow.Thus the main goal of the monograph is to contribute to a better understandingof the intricate relations between teachers’ competencies,student achievement and their socioemotional development, throughinterrelated variables such as teaching methods, classroom climate andmanagement.The study starts with an integrated view of these complex relationshipsin the form of a theoretical model, continues with the presentationof theory and empirical findings in specific areas (student assessmentof teachers’ classroom management and teaching methods,student motivation and learning behaviour, the development of students’psychosocial skills) and finally tries to integrate the results intoa unified picture.
