Abstract

Pre-service teacher education and training and in-service teacher training in
Education for Citizenship are based on the ideas of lifelong, active and analytic learning;
acquisition and transfer of knowledge and skills; and ability to present personal beliefs
through argumentation. Teacher training in Education for Citizenship can be observed
through: (1) pre-service teacher training in the context of formal education (2) in-service
teacher training in the context of lifelong learning.
This paper studies teacher training in the Education for Citizenship through in-service
teacher training. Analyzed examples from selected European and transition countries show
that teachers are usually trained for Education for Citizenship in a specific way. Ministries,
agencies and similar institutions organize seminars and provide adequate materials which
help teachers promote and implement the Education for Citizenship because only a competent
teacher can ensure the quality of its implementation.
