Stipendisti školovani u inostranstvu - povratnici u akademskoj zajednici u Srbiji

Abstract

Rad se bavi našim visokoobrazovnim kadrovima koji su se kao stipendisti postakademskih studija usavršavali u inostranstvu, a potom vratili i zaposlili u Srbiji. Cilj rada je da sagleda kako ova grupa povratnika zaposlenih na fakultetima i naučnim institutima u Srbiji procenjuju svoje iskustvo usavršavanja u inostranstvu. U anketnom istraživanju prikupljeni su podaci o procenama povratnika o tome u kojoj meri smatraju da im je to što su se školovali u inostranstvu značilo da se zaposle u Srbiji, koliko imaju prilike da primene stečena znanja i učestvuju u odlučivanju na svom radnom mestu i koliko se osećaju drugačijim od svojih kolega koji su se školovali i sve vreme radili u zemlji. Kako bi potpunije sagledali položaj povratnika, posebnim upitnikom prikupljene su i procene njihovih kolega o ovim pitanjima.

This paper deals with our highly educated professionals who studied abroad as scholarship holders at post-academic studies and then returned and found employment in Serbia. The aim of this paper is to examine how this group of returnees employed at faculties and scientific institutes in Serbia assess their experience of studying abroad. The assessments of the returnees were gathered through a questionnaire. These assessments were on the extent to which the returnees felt their education abroad influenced their employment in Serbia, the opportunities to apply the acquired knowledge and to participate in decision-making at the workplace, and, finally, on how different they felt from their colleagues who acquired all their education and work experience in their own country. To better understand the situation of returnees, a special questionnaire also gathered the assessments of their colleagues on these issues.
