- Abstract
The article focuses on the problems pertaining to educational change, with a special reference to teacher education. The purpose of the article is to formulate an innovative plan for the total reconstruction of the educational structure. With the beginning of the curriculum reform movement of the 1950s, there has been an increasing attention paid on the re-education of teachers to deal with new content and method. Similarly, there have been significant recent efforts to restructure the school both vertically and horizontally so that pupil progress will be more continuous and so that teams of teachers will work with students as individuals and in groups of various sizes. Until very recently, most teacher education programs were conducted as though urban blight and human inequities did not exist. Some new problems in the teacher education sequence arose out of the several differing sets of values with which the future teacher must cope as he moves through his introductory courses into student teaching in neighboring schools. It is suggested that effective teacher education requires financial outlays for academic and clinical personnel of a kind not yet contemplated in educational planning.
