At the last question the respondents choose an area of education approach to improve - the
Czech respondents are interested in the two areas of Coaching and Social media + Web.
They show the least interest in the area of Andragogue´s practice.
The most surprising answers
The questionnaire has pointed out the fact that most of questioned respondents were women as itś usual even at the Academic field.
Surprisingly big number of respondents at least have heard of different blogs although they don´t use them but they would like to know it.
Aproximately half of respondents use techniques based on coaching but there are a lot of them who want to learn much more about Problem Based Learning or individual action plans.
