DIMENSIONS OF THE NEW ROLE OF THE TEACHER
Europe is facing challenges to education springing from the impact of the information society, internationalisation and the scientific and technical world. The transformation of society calls for an inevitable change In the structures for, and approaches to, teaching and learning with the need to outline the new role of the teacher.
This publication Is the second one in a trilogy on the new role of the teacher, a product of The Learning Teacher Network. In the first volume 'Towards the Teacher as a Learner' (2004) the network described and discussed basic approaches and contexts. This second publication surveys conditions , components and essential expressions of learning for the future, for the new role of the teacher and thereby for continuous professional development. Furthermore, it emphasises that the identification of the new role of the teacher requires awareness of contexts and learning strategies that characterise a future educational environment. By trying to illustrate such components and contexts, this volume seeks to encourage progressive debate and decision-making.
The idea of "the learning teacher" is to be regarded as a concept for acquiring new competences, developing professional learning strategies and an awareness of measures that need to be taken in order to turn ideas into action. Through this book, the network wishes to contribute to another move towards a European dimension in the answers to the present educational challenges. Vissza
