Since antiquity people paid attention to various aspects of educator’s existence, features of the profession have been interpreted. The spectrum of opinions and solutions is rather wide as each time created its own model of educator’s activities. Yet most theories at the end of the 20th century started shifting because changing society structures also change the understanding of education. Today educators have become a citizen of the learning society, his openness towards novelties, creativity, cooperation skills and will to constantly deepen his knowledge are the cornerstones of the success. This thesis analyses requirements for future pedagogue and future teachers’ attitude towards the same as well as the reasons preventing improvement. Future pedagogues understand new professional requirements yet ignore them due to social, economic and psychological reasons (e.g. inaptitude to plan, irresponsible attitude towards results of work, no self-confidence and others).
