Abstract
This chapter examines, in the context of individual countries, the reform efforts that are on going in the area of science teacher education. It also examines the simultaneous renewal process of the development of partnerships and the mutual assistance and growth that these partnerships offer. This chapter does not profess to provide a “model” that can be easily implemented in other institutions. Rather, we hope that readers will take away information about how these partnerships have been arranged, the impact of the partnerships on all stakeholders involved, a better understanding of the change process in diverse settings, as well as several case study overviews of reform efforts and their impact on the countries involved.
