The challenge of teacher training is to prepare professionals who can adapt to a constantly changing educational environment. In addition to the disciplinary knowledge and teaching mediation skills, it is necessary to deepen the educational, communicative and reflective skills, which are essential for entering into relationships with students, their families and their colleagues.
