Issues to Face. Iste Report I

The Inservice Teacher Education (iste) Concepts Study gathered information from educational professionals and policy-makers. The resulting mass of information and concepts is presented in this overview of the nature of iste and its problems. The general structural problem of iste involves the interaction of several dimensions: (1) the governance system, composed of the decision-making structures which legitimize activities and govern them; (2) the substantive system, composed of the content and process of iste and that deals with what is learned and how it is learned; (3) the delivery system, including incentives, interfaces between trainees, trainers, and training and staff, which deals with motivation, access, and relevance to the role of the individual professional; and (4) the modal system consisting of the forms of iste, ranging from sabbaticals abroad to intensive on-site institutes. These dimensions and their interaction are discussed. (Jmf).
