The paper investigates three issues surrounding the field of comparative education, namely the place of comparative education in teacher education, the question as to whether the field should be transformed into comparative and international education, and acknowledgement of the place of Comenius as one of the fathers providing an inspiring vision and ideal for the field. The paper finds that in view of the current momentous societal changes and educational expansion in the world, there is a compelling case for the field of comparative education to be transformed into comparative and international education, furthermore, that to equip teachers for their role as professionals in this world a place for comparative and international education in teacher education programmes is essential; and thirdly, that due recognition should be given to the place of Comenius as a trailblazer in providing the rationale for the field of comparative and international education.

In this article we have tried to switch our attention towards the contemporary debates about the teaching profession that are more focused on a recognized reality that the profession is changing due to the development of modern society, with more complex tasks in the system of pedagogic education. Accordingly, we felt it necessary to respond to several issues raised by researchers in this problem field: what skills should teachers possess in a society that is constantly evolving and changing? What are teachers to “know” and “know how to do?” How should they be prepared to practice this profession? What types of theoretical, methodological, professional skills do teachers need to achieve? What are the most appropriate and effective primary training programs for teaching staff? Answers to these questions can only be “the professionalization of teaching career” and, in particular, the development of “professiogram” of the profession. We thought it would be useful to analyze aspects such as professionalism and professionalization, their interrelation and significance. In addition, the professionalization is realized on the basis of standard educational function, which, in its turn, indicates the presence of general and specific skills and abilities needed to realize the teaching profession.

W artykule została podjęta analiza etiologii społecznego wizerunku nauczyciela w Polsce, a także – na podstawie istniejących na gruncie polskim badań – zaprezentowanie tego wizerunku. Jest to zatem próba odpowiedzi na pytanie: jak jest i skąd się to bierze w odniesieniu do postrzegania nauczyciela w społeczeństwie polskim. Tworzenie się wizerunku nauczyciela jest uwarunkowane wieloma czynnikami, stąd też refleksja nad tym procesem musi uwzględniać zmiany życia społecznego, kontekst społeczno-kulturowy, nowe oczekiwania wobec nauczyciela. Również badania tego procesu muszą być wieloaspektowe, co wymaga dłuższego horyzontu czasowego. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi teoretyczną podstawę do przeprowadzenia w przyszłości badań empirycznych. Jak bowiem wynika z przeanalizowanej literatury, istniejące badania w tym względzie są niepełne, częstokroć tylko sondażowe. Postrzeganie społeczne (wizerunek) nauczycieli jest związane z oczekiwaniami, jakie społeczeństwo formułuje wobec tej grupy zawodowej,a to z kolei ma związek z pojmowaniem roli i funkcji nauczyciela. Zagadnienia te wyznaczają strukturę artykułu: 1) Rola i zadania nauczycieli wczoraj i dziś; 2) Społeczne oczekiwania wobec nauczycieli; 3) Uwarunkowania społecznego wizerunku nauczyciela. Analiza literatury i istniejących badań pozwala zidentyfikować pewien dysonans między oczekiwaniami społecznymi wobec zawodu nauczyciela a możliwościami sprostania im. Ten dysonans jest uwarunkowany wieloaspektowo. Składają się na niego czynniki społeczne, organizacyjne i podmiotowe – związane z doborem kandydatów do zawodu nauczycielskiego, jakością ich kształcenia i (nie)możliwością sprostania wymogom roli ze względu na ich nieadekwatność do rzeczywistych (podmiotowych, organizacyjnych) możliwości sprostania im. Rozwiązaniem powyżej wspomnianego dysonansu między oczekiwaniami społecznymi wobec zawodu nauczyciela a możliwościami sprostania im wydaje się po pierwsze urealnienie, tj. w praktyce obniżenie poziomu oczekiwań społecznych wobec nauczyciela, po drugie – przedefiniowanie roli nauczyciela.

This article consists of an analysis of the etiology of the social image of teachers in Poland, and it outlines this image using Polish research findings as a basis. The text thus constitutes an attempt to explain how teachers are perceived in Polish society, and what the origins of their image might be. The creation of the image of teachers is influenced by many factors, so reflection on this process must take into account not only any changes in social life, as well as the social and cultural background to this, but also any newly emerging expectations directed towards them. Furthermore, the process of analysing this must also include a number of different aspects involving a somewhat longer time-span. This article in effect establishes a theoretical basis for the carrying out of similar empirical studies in the future, in that the texts analysed together lead one to conclude that the currently available research pertaining to this subject is incomplete and is often based on no more than surveys. The way teachers are perceived by society (their image) is related to the expectations people have of this occupation’s representatives – something which, in turn, is connected with understanding the role and function of teachers. The following considerations will determine the structure of this article: (1) the role and tasks of teachers earlier and in the present; (2) social expectations towards teachers; (3) factors influencing the social image of the teacher. The analysis of books, combined with the available research findings, make it possible to identify a discrepancy between social expectations concerning the work of teachers and the capacities of the latter for meeting those expectations. This results from many different factors. It is influenced by social, organizational and subjective considerations relating to the selection of candidates as prospective teachers, the quality of the educational process and the (im)possibility of meeting requirements for this role that are inappropriate relative to the actual (subjective, organizational) opportunities for fulfilling them. It seems that the solution to the above-mentioned discrepancy will include, first of all, making such expectations more feasible – i.e. lowering the level of the social expectations directed towards teachers – and, secondly, redefining the role of the teacher.

Charakterystyczną cechą naszych czasów są stale rosnące wymagania wobec ludzi. Stawiane są one coraz częściej we wszystkich dziedzinach naszego życia. Tendencja ta uzewnętrznia się bardzo wyraźnie w stosunku do poczynań edukacyjnych. Nauczyciel to zawód o wysokim stopniu złożoności, a w związku z tym i przygotowanie do niego musi być staranne, wielostronne i sensownie rozłożone w czasie.

A characteristic feature of our times are the ever-increasing demands on people. They are increasingly involved in all areas of our lives. This trend manifests itself very clearly in relation to educational activities. Teacher is a profession of a high degree of complexity, and therefore preparation for it must be careful, multilateral and reasonably distributed over time.
