NEW DIMENSIONS IN TEACHER EDUCATION: CASE STUDIES

Abstract

21.century has brought new challenges for every profession. There are some professions that are already out of date while some are quite new. For sure, teaching as a profession will never be an old fashioned one. However, it has its own challenges and problems. We may say teaching as a profession will exist as long as there is a human being; but the methods, tools, aims, programmes must be changed and adjusted in order to meet the needs of new century. In my study, I will focus on some examples about transforming teaching education around the world , which is stated in the research named as Transforming Teacher Education, Redefined Professionals for 21st Century Schools by International Alliance of Leading Education Institutes, Singapore.
