Three further perspectives will be adopted : o The sociological aspect aims at sensitizing the teachers to-be at the social stakes of to day and to morrow school. The effects of the mutations of the society and of the family on the teacher role, the students profile and the feeling inside the school institutions will be analysed; o The historical aspect should allow to better understand the current context, especially since 1945. Some elements of comparison with systems used in other countries will allow to deepen the thinking and to enlarge it to european dimension; o The juridical and political aspect aims at showing how the education system is organised and framed by law rules and administrative rules. An information about the main juridical rules governing school, the academic personnel and the students schooling should allow the teachers to be to have a better knowledge of their responsibilities.
