Romanian Language Pre-service Teachers’ Training for Didactic Career

The aim of this study is that of trying to identify and group the main reasons for which pre-service Romanian language teachers (be they fresh graduates or experienced) obtain rather poor results at the national exam for filing a teaching position. For this purpose we undertake the theoretical findings concerning the main issues of preparing pre-service language teachers. Thus, we analyze the results obtained by 89 candidates who took the national exam for the filling a teaching position as teachers of Romanian language and literature starting from the premise that these results reflect the level of initial training from the perspective of the development of pedagogical competences. The results of the research indicate the necessity of taking some measures for the improvement of initial training for the teachers of Romanian language and literature from a pedagogical perspective with a view to obtaining better results at the national exams for the filling of a teaching position fact which will have a positive effect upon professional integration.
