From this perspective, the question ‘how do teachers perceive themselves as professionals in a world of everchanging
values’ remains an open-ended one. A possible answer is to be found in a research on postmodern education
‘teachers have to see themselves as public intellectuals, who design and implement, think and act according to the Mihaela Voinea and Toader Pălăşan / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 128 ( 2014 ) 361 – 365 363
political constraints, in favour of a culture of righteousness and freedom’ (Aronowitz, Giroux, 1997, p.209). Hence,
the teachers are the ones who have to promote the postmodern values amongst their pupils, by adapting these values
to their pupils’ social needs.
