ABSTRACT

The three main themes of this Special Issue of European Journal of Teacher Education are brought together and considered in the light of what has been said in the articles included. These themes of teacher education, professionalism and research are all dynamic in the way they have been developing over time and also demonstrate considerable geographical diversity in their manifestations. This paper considers the extent to which these temporal and spatial differences indicate a series of tensions, difficulties and paradoxes as the processes of globalisation continue to influence educational policies and practices around the world. The extent to which the outcomes represent increasing convergence or divergence is discussed and the paper concludes by suggesting a number of key questions that may be asked within a particular context in order to make an assessment of the state of health of the teaching profession within that setting.

摘要

本期《欧洲教师教育杂志》的三个主要主题结合在一起，并根据所包含文章中所说的内容进行考虑。随着时间的推移，教师教育，专业化和研究性这些主题都是动态的，并且在表现形式上也显示出相当大的地域多样性。本文认为，随着全球化进程继续影响世界各地的教育政策和实践，这些时空差异在多大程度上表明了一系列紧张，困难和悖论。讨论了结果表示趋同或趋异的程度，并在本文的结尾提出了在特定情况下可能要提出的一些关键问题，以便评估该背景下教学专业的健康状况。 。
