Political transformations have a decisive power to shape education
systems in general and teacher education programs in particular.
How these processes unfold is especially interesting in educational
systems which are not generally known to Anglo-Saxon educators,
like Germany, Russia, or China. Several chapters in this volume
discuss the impact of statewide political transformation on teacher
education programs. Political transformation is one of the
important features of societies in the second half of the 20th
century. Political transformations and changing ideologies are part
of the history of teaching and teacher education. It is important
to be aware of this process in order to keep the accumulated
experience of the teaching profession alive and contribute to
present day education policy and practice. Bringing
ideological-political perspectives to bear on teacher education can
deepen our understanding of the relation between society and
teacher education. Moreover, it highlights the pivotal role that
teachers play in any society. This volume presents different ways
of analyzing teacher education programs through the lens of
different ideologies and the influence of societal transformations.
