Menadžerske kompetencije instruktora u online obrazovanju odraslih

Abstract

Application of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) in education and emergence of new education forms including online education, lead to certain changes relating to teacher's competencies. Special significance is ascribed to managerial skills of instructors in online education, They do not represent something new, but in the context of modfern forms of education they are perceived differently then in traditional education, due to the fact that they are based differently - on technology. This paper primarly seeks to perceive the essence of managerial competencies of online educators, through their positioning and comparison with other important competencies in this type of education as well as consideration in the context of traditional education. Analysis of available relevant literature led to interesting findings which suggest that managerial competence of online trainers is recognised as very important and that it has a slight priority among other competencies in online education. Some competencies in the set of managerial competencies in online education are not considered to be more important then others, but they are noticeable different then the homogenous ones which are significiant in the context of traditional education. It is also noticeable that managerial competencies are treated differently and in a more specific way in educational litertaure, in relation to scientific sources which originate in other fileds (economy, management etc.)
