Study Notes
Unit 1: The Teaching Profession
- This unit covers the teaching profession, including its concept, profile, societal impact, and professional development.
1. Concept of Profession and Professional Traits
- Professional traits: Each profession is defined by a body of systematic, scientifically-based knowledge and a set of competencies. Professionals often act with altruism, serving the public. They have autonomy in applying their knowledge, and professional associations protect them. Professionals commit to innovation and ongoing improvement.
- Social support: Public trust in professionals is crucial, as is the expectation of high professional capacity. Professionals are accountable to their employers and the public they serve.
2. Profile of the Teaching Profession
- Characteristics: Teachers possess specialized knowledge, crucial to their daily tasks. This includes initial training and an induction phase upon entering practice. Teaching is a helping profession with a significant ethical dimension.
- Autonomy and regulation: Teachers have a degree of autonomy within their classrooms but are also guided by organizational, local, regional, and national regulations for teaching.
- Teacher well-being/dissatisfaction: Teacher well-being and satisfaction can be impacted by challenges like workload, external pressures (legislation), family demands, and lack of control. Conversely factors such as a sense- of autonomy, valuing, being trusted, being listened to, having time for learning and planning, strong colleague support and time for learning, teaching, and planning contribute positively to job satisfaction.
3. Society and the Teaching Profession
- Social demands: Educational actions are deeply connected with the social contexts in which they take place. Educational systems and curricula should align with social goals and expectations, such as equality, justice, peace, and equity.
- Social recognition: Teachers need social recognition and value to maintain a positive image within and outside the role. This affects teacher self-perception of effectiveness and the overall quality of the teaching profession. Factors that enhance social recognition and perceived value and status include high qualifications, continuous professional development and good quality resources. Socio-economic and employment conditions can strongly impact teachers motivations, and the ability to continue their professional development.
- Social factors and challenges: The complexity of modern societies presents various challenges to teachers. Teachers face challenges related to family pressures, changes in laws and regulations, student behaviours, large class sizes, diversity of pupil abilities and needs, and a lack of social support. This can lead to teacher stress.
4. Teacher Professional Development
- Evolution and Models: Teacher knowledge has evolved over time, with various names and models used to describe continuing professional development.
- Initial Training: Teacher training in Spain and Europe has moved through historical stages, including changes in curriculum requirements and structures.
- Stages and Components: Teacher training, both initial and continuing, includes stages of academic orientation (content and knowledge), technological components involving knowledge and skills for effective teaching (process-product research), practical development with self-reflection and observation, social and structural models, or competence-based models, which aim to increase the adaptability to changing contexts.
