Abstract

Significant changes concerning new technologies and its use in all spheres of life characterize recent decades of the world society development. Open education cannot operate without open educational instruments. It is generally available (textbooks, courses, lecture notes, etc.), free of charge and marked by the further usage and adaptation rights. Many polish state universities widely use e-learning as one of the technologies of regulated access to educational content. Nowadays the professional teachers' development is a topical problem within management departments of higher educational institutions in the Republic of Poland since the requirements to it are reflected in the legal framework and documents of higher educational institutions. It should be noted that 57,1 % of the interviewed teachers indicated they use e-learning in scientific and didactic, research and organizational activities and 42,9 % of teachers use e-learning as students receiving new information, new knowledge and improving professional competence. The same key figures were obtained asking questions about the use of information and communication technologies by teachers during classes: 57,1 % of teachers answered that they used it if necessary, 42,9 % of teachers reported the answer "yes", no one chose the answer "no". The analysis of the e-learning platform usage by teachers of management departments shows in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Poland that they the most frequently use the USOS internal system – 85,7 % of respondents; 42,9 % of teachers use the Moodle system; other platforms – 57,1 %. Several answers could be chosen. Therefore self-administration plays an important role in the process of professional development of the teachers' competence within management departments of polish higher educational institutions. Lifelong learning takes an important place in self-administration: courses, training, seminars, postgraduate education, self-education, blogging, websites, and portfolio. The analysis of questionnaires of teachers and official sites of state polish higher educational institutions leads to the conclusion that at the present stage the teachers give a preference to digital technologies and e-learning in the process of raising their professional level. This regards to the fact that this form of education saves time, money, suggests various forms and ways of competences development, allows studying on the job. Both teachers and students of state educational institutions of the Republic of Poland notice that future of polish open education is seen in the form like e-learning.
