Hungarian Educational Terminology in a Minority Context: A Terminological Analysis of Concepts Related to Teachers’ Professional Development in Slovakia

The article provides an insight into an ongoing terminological planning process within the Hungarian Terminology Strategy sub-programme of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, which aims to develop an eight-language digital database of educational terminology. It presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of the database construction, with particular emphasis on the concept-oriented approach and the identification of equivalence levels. The first part analyses the characteristics of Hungarian educational terminology in Slovakia followed by a terminological comparison of the Slovak system of teacher career development and its Hungarian equivalents. Based on legislative sources, the study identifies the relevant conceptual features and proposes Hungarian equivalents suitable for integration into the professional register used by Hungarian speakers in Slovakia.
