The idea that the pedagogical mastery of a teacher and his/her increasing expertise are based on his/her ability to reflect on his/her own practice is widely recognized in the world, irrespective of the concepts and approaches applied to teacher training. It is shown in this paper that fundamental change is needed in terms of the aims, means and processes of prospective teacher education. They should turn away from science popularisers to experts capable of fostering the complex social and personal development of students (and not only in relation to the group of students with specific problems). We present a connection within the capacity of the individual (student, teacher and training teacher) to think critically and conduct professional reflection on pedagogical practice.
