Abstract
Promotion of lifelong learning should be an important activity for schools. This activity would require special knowledge, attitudes and skills on the part of teachers, with consequent implications for teacher training. This paper reports changes made by five teachers’ colleges in teaching and learning activities and administrative organization and practice teaching, with the goal of increasing instructors’ and students’ knowledge about lifelong learning, interest in encouraging it and skill in fostering it. Staff and students readily accepted lifelong learning as a guiding principle, showed an increased interest in their own learning and adopted changed teaching and learning activities.
