Abstract

This article suggests the possibility of a third revolution in the field of teacher education. In the first part, after mentioning the time of Normal schools (mid-nineteenth century) and universitarization (mid-twentieth century), it argues that teacher education should be thought of as professional education at university level. In the second part, dichotomies are avoided and a synthesis is proposed around valuing professional teaching knowledge (a third kind of knowledge), recognizing school teachers as the educators of new teachers (a third actor) and building a common home for teacher education and the profession (a third place). With these elements, laying the foundations for a third revolution in teacher education may be possible.
