Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the beginnings of the creation of the teaching profession, formation and development thereof in the given conditions and their contexts. Attention has been paid to the sources of the emergence of the oldest profession, contributing to the prosperity of the ancient civilisation. The interest of the contemporaries in their roots is connected with finding guidelines counteracting the routine and monotony of the every-day teaching actions. Maybe the old maxims will allow the teacher to understand the external transformations, their context and step on the path of changing his/her mentality and the once-chosen working style. The theoretical divagations conducted here reflect the essence of the currently raised problems of the teaching profession resulting from the model and conception of pedagogical thinking, influencing the process of educating the youth and their preparation to design and build their civilisation.
