A Companion to Research in Teacher Education

Abstract

During the early part of the twenty-first century, teacher education has been the subject of much change in many countries around the globe. From Australia to Austria, from Norway to Scotland, we have seen reviews, reports and reforms. Within the UK, all four jurisdictions—as well as the Republic of Ireland—have seen major reports that have led to changes of various sorts in the provision for initial teacher education (Teacher Education Group in Teacher education in times of change. Policy Press, Bristol, 2016).
