Teacher Preparation: 1966–1990

Introduction

This chapter is concerned with developments in teacher preparation during the period 1966–1990. It is primarily concerned with the years from 1966 to the late 1970s, when there were significant developments in the field. To contextualise these developments, the chapter opens with an outline of general changes in Irish society from the late 1950s to the late 1970s. Four sections follow on developments in teacher preparation during the 1960s and 1970s. These relate to changes in the preparation of primary school teachers, changes in the preparation of teachers through the university education departments, changes in the preparation of teachers in the non-university sector for teaching at second-level and the provision of continuing professional development. The final section considers teacher preparation during the economically depressed years from the late 1970s to the late 1980s.
