In Finland teachers are professionals who play key role in promoting lifelong learning and preparing citizens for the future. Teacher education at universities has been reformed as a part of the Bologna process during 2003-2006. In this book teacher educators explain the new teacher education and the national networking process for renewing the curricula of education and teacher's pedagogical studies. Furthermore, professors from different Finnish universities reflect on their innovative ideas of educating student teachers and the challenges for developing further research-based teacher education.
