Sažetak
Competencies and competence based teacher education are discussed in the context of European global changes. The paper focuses on discovering the theoretical framework for competence and competence based teacher education in order to achieve understanding among experts, free from modernism and absolute adoption of pragmatism present in the contemporary education policy. The first part of the paper presents the question what is competence ; the second part analyses definition and terminology problems ; the third part is about key competencies. The fourth part of the paper gives insight into the approaches to competence based teacher education, contrasting the views of experts and the European education policy on what ‘good’ or ‘European’ teachers are. The approaches and attitudes are analyzed from the perspective of the professional identity of teachers. Authors interpret competence from the perspective of the important 'human resource' in the context of modern demands set before individuals and the society in competitive, changeable and unstable life conditions.
