Abstract

Teachers in elementary and secondary schools are striving for professional status. In todays fighting for higher salaries they rank themselves in the same category as masters of engineering, business administration and lawyers. However their ambitions are not an exclusively modern phenomenon. This paper analyze from a historical perspective todays neoliberal influences on teacher education and teaching as a turning point on the almost impassable road from a bishop consecrated to a scientifically grounded teaching praxis.
