Abstract

The aim of research was to answer whether training conducted in Regional E-learning Training Centres in Information and Telecommunication Technologies application in a classroom, focused on cooperation and peer learning of participants, will result in increased social capital. 160 teachers participated in the study, out of which 100 filled the questionnaires twice. The questions dealt both with “hard” competences that the training was about, i.e. application of Information and Telecommunication Technologies (at work and at home), and with psychological variables not directly related to the training: job satisfaction and various aspects of social capital. Data analysis shows that training which encourages contact between participants is related to increased mutual trust and support and higher tolerance for failures.
