Conclusions and Recommendations:
One of the main conclusions to be drawn is that the teachers’ professional identity still abides by the rules of the
classical image of the teacher. This entails an effort of the teachers to become aware of their own professional
identity, and this process can be significantly enhanced by the contact with other working peers, and the training
courses seen as a way to redefine professional roles and develop one’s teaching career.
Another important conclusion is that the teacher who is aware of their role and responsibilities is a co-learner
with his students and can engage their students in exploring and constructing the knowledge and positive attitudes
learning. Indeed, the teachers can not to develop collaboration, positive attitude for change, the different acceptance
and tolerance if they are not together with their student in a learning experience. The students need to see that the
teacher is not a “magister” who knows all, who has all the answers, etc.
The students need to see that the teacher is a real person, who has a lot of positive and negative experience, who
does not always have the right answer, who learns permanently, who collaborates with students or colleagues.
The students need to see that the teacher is a model of critical thinker: a teacher who searches and selects relevant
information, who asks and creates new questions and waits not a single answer; a teacher who has pedagogical
values and promotes these values in his behaviour; a teacher who believes in his students’ power to change.
