ABSTRACT
Teacher education cannot begin to find its way until it finds first a way of reconceptualizing the purpose, the vision, the nature of education. If there were a world where knowledge progressed unfailingly in an upward curve towards perfect understanding, where the rational ego was sufficient to itself and truth was the selfevident basis for social and personal action then for example, the training of teachers for children would consist in delivering acquired knowledge in the most cost-efficient manner and children would rationally calculate that it was to their advantage to acquire the knowledge required for their benefit and as quickly as possible.
