Marginalia on some aspects of the deontology of the profession of a teacher today

Abstract

Contemporary development has brought about radical changes in the social and professional social structure. Major changes have occurred in the mobility of the work force and in the types of professions in the industrial and the service sector. It is in this context that major changes have also taken place in the education system and the social position of teachers. The given paper problematizes the issue of the transformation of the professional role and the social position of teachers in contemporary society, and especially in societies in transition. It especially focuses on the analysis of the technical and deontological aspects of the profession of a teacher. The author concludes the given paper by asking for unity of the education processes in contemporary schools and for the reform of the vocation of the teacher in society.
