HISTORY OF TEACHER TRAINING IN CHILE
To understand the historical process of the professionalisation of necessity should be noted, for reference, some aspects of the situation of education during 1980. During this period, education was generally in the hands of religious congregations they were the leading educators in the country at that time and the priests or religious who taught were not really teachers, with some exceptions.
In the nineteenth century, Chile hosted foreign intellectuals who came to form the first educators in this country. Immediately, they were linking in to make the school system of those people was the freedom and autonomy of schools. .
A fundamental step which had to Chile was concerned to design their own teaching, for which it was imperative to train intellectual elites are able to consolidate the acquired educational level, but mostly managed to become a country with a culture and way own thinking. So did the creation of the Pedagogical Institute that began to consolidate the professionalism of teachers in the secondary sector, and thus occurred more perspective what would be the teaching profession at different levels of scholastic system.
With these milestones identified and we can see how it was developed to consolidate the teaching profession in Chile. Twentieth century began with the organization of teaching. The teachers were then organized into unions.
was so successful in collecting a lot of importance to the Trade Union of Education Workers-SUTE, which was consolidated in the Government of Salvador Allende. This situation changed dramatically during the military government.
When democracy returned to Chile, was enacted in 1991, the Teachers' Statute, which still prevails with some later modifications. This legal document consolidated the dignity of teachers, it was given to the teacher not only the role befitting her as a professional, but basically was given autonomy in technical teaching, ie the teacher - by right-can make in your classroom so it seems, according to plans and programs. Significantly
mention: "No doctor in the exercise of their profession tell you how it operates, no engineer will tell you how to make bridges, each of them must use their creativity, of course, subject to certain rules. Well, today, any teacher can tell you and force you to make the classes a certain way, he has the autonomy to do so and that means really dignify our profession. " It follows
if you ask after having reviewed the record, we have advanced in terms of teaching profession, my answer is that it clearly is a step forward. First
faculty was established at that time was of little competition, there was no organization to ensure the educational performance of individuals exercising or guiding the work as mediators in humans.
The delivery of knowledge at that time was low.
The creation of normal schools in Chile opens an educational system that will guide hundreds of children.
The insertion of foreign educational environment undoubtedly gave a great contribution, which was growing for the benefit of all citizens by providing a better education system, that we can start to say that today our eduacion chile is full wealth of knowledge to help develop personal and educational development of youth, perhaps we still lack polish, enhance and innovate in new strategies to meet the goal of enriching our children with better educational systems, this will be an arduous task but can be achieved in a spirit and willingness of all those who opt for the valuable teaching practice.
