These main competences would enable them to perform current expected teaching demands. The article employs theories of professional development and social constructivist learning in which social and practical aspects of learning and teaching are taken into account. It draws on personal observations, reflections on current events, and experience of the authors while taking into accounts some empirical findings of researchers in the field of education.
