ABSTRACT

Treffers, A.J. “The training of teachers in the Soviet Union,” Revue ATEE Journal 4(1981) 113‐128

The description in this article of the training of secondary school teachers in the Soviet Union is mainly based on data collected by the author in 1979 at the Herzen Pedagogical Institute in Leningrad. Special attention is paid to the training of teachers of Biology and Chemistry. The article deals with the difference between universities and pedagogical institures in general, with a description of the Herzen Pedagogical Institute in particular, with the hours spent on the five groups of specialities, with the teaching‐, research‐, and development tasks of the Departments (kafedras) of Methods. The author describes the influence of the empirical materialistic tradition and the dialectic tradition on the tuition of Methods. He also mentions the interdisciplinary research on the functions of a teacher, a function analysis carried out at the Herzen Institute, which resulted in a so‐called ‘professiogram’ of a teacher. Finally the importance of teaching practice and supervision is discussed.
