Management teacher training in traditional training system

Management teachers’ tertiary training in the 20th century in Hungary can be considered as systematical and direct from 1974. Due to the fact that not any of the Hungarian universities undertook this challenge, the College of Nyíregyháza took in the shorthand and typing teacher academic specialization, at that time only on college level. Since then this institute has been the base of this training.

On the turn of the century its name changed into management teacher. From this time on it has been also possible to combine this specialization with other professions but Hungarian grammar and literature teacher, like foreign languages (English, German, French, and Russian), history, computer technology, library and information technology etc. Those who got primary school teacher degrees in these traditional fields got degree in management as well, but 90% of them started job as teachers. Their general training in pedagogy and didactics prepared them for primary school level but as management training was for secondary level most of them settled an occupation in secondary technical schools of economics. Only few of them started out a career on primary level, or in vocational or grammar schools. The aforementioned could teach Hungarian grammar and literature while the latter could teach management as an alternative, mainly typing or word processing as a part of information technology lessons. The non teacher entrants started to work in those fields which mostly claim only secondary skills. (www-1, www-6))

Contemporary basic (BA) Hungarian training for students of art on management specialization

Management training has changed a lot since the introduction of the Bologna process. Management became a part of Arts, in Hungarian specialization, basic Hungarian training. It means that the students’ appellation in their certificate will be Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Hungarian/management specialization. This combination of the two specializations has its root in their common linguistic base, although this rapport is the creature of musts. Namely that college level management training – like other specializations- couldn’t be started, as widespread scholar knowledge is not given in the lack of university training possibilities. Whereas we have to pinpoint that the ken of the two specializations are quite different.

The memorandum of foundation says that the aim of training students of art in Hungarian on management specialization is to train professionals who will be able to work independently in the management workflow in various professionals, using their Hungarian grammar and literature, and cultural knowledge; general, professional and foreign language communicational skills; up-to-date management-technical and management- organizational ; as well as their writing and editing technical knowledge. Further aim is to make the students be able to organize and handle the management workflow of various organizations; harmonize their activity, furthermore be able to take part in decision-preparing and -making processions actively and creatively.
