The document discusses teacher education. It states that teacher education encompasses teaching skills, sound pedagogical theory, and professional skills. It discusses the components of teaching skills, pedagogical theory, and professional skills. It also discusses the history and evolution of teacher education from teacher training to teacher education. Teacher education aims to develop teacher proficiency and competence to meet professional requirements through both formal and informal activities.
2. The quality and extent of learner achievement are
determined primarily by teacher competence, sensitivity
and teacher motivation.
A program of education, research and training of persons
to teach from pre-primary to higher education level.
Teacher education is a program that is related to the
development of teacher proficiency and competence that
would enable and empower the teacher to meet the
requirements of the profession .
All the formal and non-formal activities and experiences
that help to qualify a person to assume responsibilities of
a member of the educational profession or to discharge
his responsibilities more effectively
3. In 1906-1956, the program of teacher preparation
was called teacher training.
It prepared teachers as mechanics or technicians. It
had narrower goals with its focus being only on skill
training.
The perspective of teacher education was therefore
very narrow and its scope was limited.
As W.H. Kilpatrick put it, ―Training is given to
animals and circus performers, while education is to
human beings
Teacher education encompasses teaching skills,
sound pedagogical theory and professional skills.
Teacher Education = Teaching Skills + Pedagogical
theory + Professional skills.
4. Teaching skills would include
Providing training and practice in the
different techniques, approaches and
strategies that would help the teachers to
plan and impart instruction, provide
appropriate reinforcement and conduct
effective assessment.
Effective classroom management skills,
preparation and use of instructional materials
and communication skills.
5. Pedagogical theory includes
The philosophical, sociological and
psychological considerations that would
enable the teachers to have a sound basis for
practicing the teaching skills in the
classroom.
The theory is stage specific and is based on
the needs and requirements that are
characteristic of that stage.
6. Professional skills include
The techniques, strategies and approaches that
would help teachers to grow in the profession
and also work towards the growth of the
profession.
Soft skills, counseling skills, interpersonal skills,
computer skills, information retrieving and
management skills and above all life long
learning skills.
An amalgamation of teaching skills, pedagogical
theory and professional skills would serve to
create the right knowledge, attitude and skills in
teachers, thus promoting holistic development.
7. Document established by consensus and approved by a
recognized body that provides for common and repeated
use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or
their results aimed at achieving the optimum degree of
order in a given context.”
This definition brings together three key elements that are
1. The technical content of the document (rules, guidelines,
etc., to achieve the optimum degree of order in a given
context)
2. The process through which it is developed (by
“consensus”, i.e. through the involvement and agreement
of the concerned and affected parties2)
3. The entity responsible for issuing the standard (a
“recognized body”, usually a qualified, neutral
8. According to Kleinhenz et al. (2007), a full
definition of standards requires three
components
Content standards, which define what is valued
(in learning, teaching or school leaders’
performance).
The definition about how to assess the
achievement of content standards, in other
words, the rules under which evidence is to be
gathered in order to assess teaching or learning.
Performance standards, which indicate how well
someone has to perform to be considered
competent in the domain defined by the content
standards
9. The principles that underpin a teaching
standards framework are expressed as
domains, or categories. Three categories or
domains are noted:
Knowledge and understanding
Practice (pedagogy)
Teaching relations (professional
relationships)
10. Teaching Knowledge and Understanding teachers being expert
at the knowledge, skills, and understandings of particular
subjects, teaching methodologies, and students. Teachers also
understand the social, cultural, and developmental
Teaching Practice Effective teaching is crucially determined in
this domain, where the practices that most distinctly constitute
teaching can be elaborated.. Effective teaching methodologies
and practices within this domain rely on the Knowledge and
Understanding Domain as well as on various Teaching Relations.
Teaching Relations engaging with students, professional
relationships with colleagues, parents, caregivers, and education
authorities are crucial to effective teaching. Relations with the
general community are also crucial.
11. Quality education is a universal right of all children, young
people, and adults, in the interests of individuals,
communities and societies.
Quality education is predicated on high-quality teaching,
for all students, in all circumstances.
Teachers’ work is organized around maximizing student
learning, future life chances and wellbeing,
Teachers are defined as individuals holding formally
recognized teaching qualifications and who meet
standards of practice
All teachers should be trained at university or equivalent
institutions and have the requisite knowledge, skills, and
competences to meet the diverse needs of students.
The teaching profession is constituted by teachers so
defined, and in alignment with teacher representative
organizations.
12. Only trained and qualified members of the teaching profession be
engaged to undertake teachers’ work.
Effective and ethical school organizational practice is built on
teachers’ professional judgment and standards of practice defined
by the teaching profession.
Administration of schools and other education institutions support
teachers at all levels to achieve, maintain, and defend professional
standards.
Professional teaching standards address and actively support
universal access to and opportunities for quality education for all.
The teaching profession ethically and actively committed to
supporting the principles, precepts, and standards of teachers’
professional practice
Governments and education authorities have an obligation to ensure
that teachers receive the necessary support, training, professional
development, opportunity
