摘要:The pandemic changed the paradigm of education at all levels. From primary schools to universities, teachers and students must conform to new patterns for teaching and learning. The goal of this paper is to share the experience resulted from the pilot project developed at the National Institute of Administration in order to deliver online training for public administration in the pandemic context. The project entitled PPP online (Romanian abbreviation for “online training programs”) was a challenge which supposed the redesign of the curricula and finding the best alternatives for delivering knowledge and interaction between trainers and participants. We must emphasize that there was only very limited experience in online training for Romanian public administration until 2020. In this paper we expose the choices considered for the transition to online training and the results of a study about participants’ perception regarding difficulties they encountered and the quality of programs. In this regard, we collected and analysed the feedback from more than 1000 participants (respondents to an online questionnaire). Our study has an optimistic conclusion about changing teaching and learning through technology in public administration. It can be appreciated that both trainers and participants can rapidly adapt to the conditions of the online learning environment and the proposed structure of training programs was validated by the results and positive feedback. We also present some best practices achieved during the pilot project.
