This study explored the views of 312 teachers to understand the evaluation of professional perceptions guiding teacher education in Israel from 1960 to 2020. Specifically, it examined two alternative explanations for their dynamic development: the first one focuses on the modernization of professional perceptions, drawing on Andy Hargreaves' theory of the four stages of teacher professionalism; the second delves into the cyclical nature of liberal and conservative trends in education, based on Larry Cuban's theory of cyclical changes in education. The research findings empirically support the cyclical dynamics of change in professional perceptions. The study may serve as a foundation for future research efforts and illuminate the complex dynamics of changes in teacher education worldwide.
