Schools once set the information agenda, although that term was not used, while home and church set the moral agenda. Now the cultural agenda is set electronically. Schools and even homes seem to have become part of the counter- culture, the resistance, fighting back with a declining share of the action. Barry O. Jones
The background
transition from the industrial to the post- industrial state,
Education integral part of culture => integral part of economy . Neoliberal . Globalisation (Europeanisation) economical and culturaltechnological areas. (NB Estonia as 10th by globalisation index) Are the education, teacher education and CPD 20/21 a failure? Was the post-modernist moment a fore-sign of neo-liberal crises of 21st?
Controversies
Rhetoric sounds right -- deeds might be quite opposite E-environmental diversities, freedom, multi-sources -organisation of knowledge into systems of knowledge (need for new qualities of personal knowledge management) Decentralised centralisation in education, incl. a great part of CPD Norming (official and hidden) versus research and knowledge based development, dynamic Acnowledged need for research of SPD etc versus nonfinancing
Research questions
how teachers, schools and the local educational society were and are really involved in CPD, especially research based teaching-learning and development of a curriculum how CPD was and is organised and regulated on state level both by content and by financing (incl mentoring) educators involvement and cooperation in and between schools, universities, NGOs, educational enterprises, governmental organs as well as other stakeholders and interest groups.
Main problem unified and strict method and methodology in combination of students initiative and degree of freedom
Models of CPD
Late (up to end of 1980s)
Life-long learning: system of 5-year cycle + short courses on actual themes. Ca < 90% involvement.
Contemporary
Chaotic - depends on trends, trainers abilities and popularity, will of teacher/headmaster not of educational/andragogical needs; training for stateexams. ca 30% involvement.
Synthesised methods: different combinations of eenvironments + organisational bees (etc) + pedagogical or educational-political knowledge creation simulations or practical outcomes; widening of knowledge and skills.
