THE TEACHER’S DEGREE AND KNOWLEDGE: A COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP

Francisco F. García Pérez

Abstract

The Teacher’s Degree works habitually with knowledge in its different fields and manifestations. At first glance then, this relationship seems absolutely normal, almost natural. But when we look closer in order to better analyse this, we find out that the relationship is not always clear, being based on clichés which are sometimes difficult and almost always complicated. However, it is a key issue in improved understanding of our role as teachers and the guarantee of the aims of education. Here lies the interest in making this the centre of our refection.
