The process of initial teacher selection must take into account the changing role of the teacher.

Partnerships should be developed between school districts and training institutions so that programs can be instituted to improve marginal and less experienced teachers. In this way beginning teachers can be judged on the...

There was a time when the teacher's role was to pass down to the younger generation - the knowledge, experiences and mythology of a slowly evolving society. The pace of change in contemporary society has made this role redundant. The modern teacher must be, among other things, a change-agent. It does not matter whether one is addressing the situation in a developing or an industrialized nation, the problem remains the same. What are the new dimensions of his / her role, and how is the...

For a competency-based system of teacher certification to be feasible and fair, a valid and reliable set of measurement procedures must exist. There are four questions which must be answered before competency-based teacher certification can be validly implemented. The first question is, Should teacher or pupil behavior be used as evidence of teacher competence? Teacher behavior rather than pupil behavior is a more appropriate basis on which to judge teacher competence. The second question is,...

A problem solving approach probably has the greatest potential for resulting in real learning because of the...
