WHO IS AND SHOULD BE A SCIENCE TEACHER

Summary/Abstract: Who is and should be a Science teacher like? This seemingly multiple-time answered ques-tion, however, has not been clearly answered yet; moreover, in this case, a multi-alternative an-swer is required. Ideas of an optimal characteristic of Science teacher should be defined in context of their main activity. Two alternatives are under the focus; the apparent discrepancy which has been solved in some legal documents, and the state which is frequently not unambiguous in practice. In Alternative One, the learner is the main objective of the teacher´s activities and to con-tribute to the learner´s personal development is the main task. To develop a creative and flexible personality is the priority which requires a set of appropriate means. The learning content in Sci-ence subjects as part of general education is one of the means. This approach is applied in study programmes Teaching for Secondary Schools in general-education subjects; then, the graduate´s target is to form Science literacy of the whole population (Lamanauskas, 2012).
