Pedagogical Training for Primary School Teachers: Between Formality and Actual Implementation

The teacher is the cornerstone of the educational process, being primarily responsible for the implementation and supervision of curricula with high precision. If we aim for advanced and high-quality education, we must ensure optimal teacher preparation, equipping them with a fully integrated personality across all psychological and professional dimensions. Teacher preparation and professional development are foundational to educational improvement, as they significantly influence teaching performance. Whether through initial pedagogical training or continuous professional development, these processes are essential for equipping teachers with the academic and professional competencies they need. This can be achieved through structured training programs or self-directed learning methods.
