Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology Department of General Pedagogy and Research Methods in Education invite to 1st INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR "(Re)Shaping the Teaching Profession of the 21st Century: Priorities, Challenges and Future Directions" - 26 October 2017, 10:00-15:15.
Presentation of the Seminar
The modern and unprecedentedly dynamic world shapes the new reality of providing educational services; hence, contemporary teachers in Europe and all over the world are continually faced with the need to develop and improve their professionalism. Currently, teachers are expected, not only to have great expertise and implement effective pedagogical skills characterised by critical thinking, research and innovation, but also to monitor the effectiveness of their own teaching practices, evince a strong research-oriented approach, and design their own professional development. Clearly, teaching has become an increasingly complex profession, and teachers are required to be responsive to a lot of special needs. This, implies a new challenge for teacher education programmes - providing high quality education reflecting a set of principles that allow future teachers to be effective in diverse classroom settings.
In the context of new challenging times for teachers, the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of the University of Bialystok takes the initiative to organize cyclical international seminars aimed at discussing, sharing and promoting new ideas and developments in different areas of teaching and teacher education. We invite researchers from Europe and all over the word to share their experiences and research results. The seminars are addressed at experienced researchers, young scholars, student teachers, active teachers and policy makers. We strongly believe that we can contribute to national and international debates on the quality of teachers, teaching and teacher education through the exchange and collective learning opportunities such as this one.
The first opening seminar will provide a voice of researchers from England and Poland on building communities and sharing knowledge as the potential for (student) teachers to work together across national boundaries.
