SCHOOL AND TEACHER-TRAINING AFTER THE WENDE

Starting with the description of concepts of educational policy in the former GDR and the FRG before 1989 and a comparison of the two school systems, aspects of school-organisation and of curriculum development are discussed, which also are of some importance for teacher education. An analysis of educational goals and of different structures as well as of the contents of curricula follows. The psychological problems of former GDR-teachers are the next topic in the article. Finally, the new or in some way different functions, tasks and roles - compared with the four decades before the ''Wende'' in the GDR - are described and connected with perspectives of a reformed model of teacher education which stresses the orientation to wards school reality as the stimulus of learning-situations in teacher education.
