professionalisation

pedagogical          knowledge

-     citizenship, values and moral education: how should teachers be
trained in relation to          these areas? 

-     curriculum development and national priorities: standardisation,
uniformity and the       demands        of the knowledge economy

and the role of       school/college-based learning and support
