The Teacher and the Needs of Society in Evolution contains articles which focus on the international significance of analyzing the schools' changing context and perspectives, evolving institutions and methods of education, and response in research and development. The publication first elaborates on changing perspectives in the educational process and the role of schools in the future. Discussions focus on organizational and curricular changes, results of economic pressures on schools, ideological pressures on schools, education by synthesis and constructive comparison, changed dimensions of education, conditional relevance of schools, enlargement of educational concepts, and changes in occupational structure. The text then tackles the measurement of human abilities and their cultivation, status, role, and future of teachers, media and the teacher, and teachers, research, and curricular development. Topics include systems approach, team teaching, emphasis on learning, and teacher-role and teacher-status. The manuscript ponders on teaching and learning, educational crisis, hunger for learning, curriculum development, and cultural factors and the learning process. The publication is a dependable reference for educators and researchers interested in the changes occurring in schools.
