Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of the research in teacher education. There are many meta-analyses on the status of the teaching profession and how it has changed over time globally. There has been decline followed by marginal improvements in the status of teachers. The studies on teachers’ perception on professionalism and accountability and the effect of the pandemic on the teaching profession are also reported at all levels. The number of studies in the area of teacher education has increased tremendously. There are exploratory studies, experimental studies, qualitative descriptive studies, case studies and studies on sociological and psychological dimensions of teacher education. But very few studies on philosophical areas. Action research in teacher education addressing classroom inquiry, data-based decision-making has also been conducted. Gamification is a very popular intervention strategy because of increased acceptance among the learners. The collaborative teaching environment, use of social media in teaching, use of video and other ICT tools such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality in instruction are topics covered by many researchers.
