Teacher Qualifications in a Changing Society

Abstract

The education system consists of different inputs and is affected by change. Inputs in the education system can be listed as students, teachers, parents, education programs and environment. The qualifications of the specified inputs are in the form of a direct effect on the outputs in the education system. Among the listed inputs, teachers occupy an important position. This is due to the fact that teachers have the power to influence other inputs. Thus, it can be stated that the quality of the education system has a parallel relationship with the quality of the teacher. The education system can produce services in relation to the extent of the teacher's quality. The qualifications of teachers transform and affect the social changes that will occur in our country and around the world. It is expected that teachers will have positive contributions to education thanks to their correct self-development. Teachers have to keep their professional qualifications up-to-date and improve because their influence spreads over a wide area.
