society is evolving, economy develop, invent and application of ICT
influence of education research
education is changing ------> role of teacher is changing

way of teacher work, with students, with colleagues, in school is changing;  role and competencies will be more wide-ranging
teacher must sometime replace parents' authority when they fail
teacher must be able to work at home as well as at school, in a lab environment; with whole class, small groups or with individual pupils
teacher must evolve and adapt
teacher is not the only one to transmit knowledge, have to manage access to knowledge, help pupils organize knowledge
teacher help pupils to conceptualize, theorize, model, and build abstractions

in France, teacher from both primary & secondary receive same status & amount of salary
training of teacher includes study of an academic area, pedagogy, didactics, general tools and personal training; include interaction betw theory & practice; seminars for reflection and analysis particular teaching situation
while in school, student teacher write a personal essay a research project on problem encountered...tool to develop reflective practitioner

in Britain, heavy emphasis on practical training in schools and de-emphasizing theory
in France, similar but favours a dynamic interplay betw theory and practice

''teacher would like to be given recipes for teaching 'the' right way to teach such and such a topic. they greatly enjoy and value the practice period in schools, but they are often disappointed by some course at the Institute which they find too theoretical, too far from direct application. It is only 1 or 2 years later they understand how fundamental inputs prepare them for long-term competency, and help them to reflect and to built that competency.'

there is not just 1 way to be a good teacher, each T must build his or her own strategy
it is impossible to provide future teachers with all the competencies they need, so ability to adapt and evolve is essential, in-service training will be important component in teaching profession
teachers usually reproduce the way they were taught themselves, methods are as important as content in initial teacher training

i think i just find myself a way to read, to type the point i read, to understand it as well as to use it for future....
