Teachers' changing roles and their self-evaluation regarding roles expected of them by the renewed curricula

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify changing roles of elementary education teachers' and their evaluations on these roles. Results showed that, although many of the teachers know about the properties that teachers must have, they also know that they are unable to participate these behaviours in class. In addition to this, teachers' opinions about this subject do not differ according to school last graduated, seniority and grade level of instruction. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
