3-dimensional pedagogy-the image of 21st century teacher professionalism

Abstract

With the advent of post-industrialism the work of teachers will surely change dramatically. But how? In this final chapter of the year book, Dorothy Andrews and Frank Crowther draw on the outcomes of a successful school revitalisation project that has engaged teachers in serious ‘imagineering’ of their current work and their professional futures. On the basis of the outcomes of the project to date, Andrews and Crowther propose that teaching in the knowledge society will be a highly sophisticated, highly complex construct that can be viewed as three-dimensional. When the three-dimensions come together, the net effect is new knowledge that has the power to transform communities.
