Subject: Call for Papers: Innovating the Future of Teacher Education
E-mail this message to a friend This collective volume addresses the most recent as well possible future trends in teacher education. There are various educational demands arising from phenomena such as climate change, globalization, digitization and societal polarization. These demands pose challenges for teaching that need to be addressed in teacher education, in both didactic and systemic/institutional
terms. In particular, the question arises how we can model pre-service teacher (teacher trainees) key competencies in this context, and how these key competencies can be fostered. The volume will address this question by considered key competencies such as (among others) digital competencies (see e.g. Falloon 2020), knowledge of inclusive education (see e.g. Gilde 2020), critical thinking (see e.g. Lorencová et al. 2019) or competencies in handling language diversity in the classroom (see e.g. Jeskanen 2020). In that respect, the volume will also add to the on-going discussion of teacher competence frameworks, with a specific focus on pre-service teachers / teacher trainees.
This volume seeks to close the gap between theory and practice drawing upon both the critical evaluation of theoretical approaches in this field as well as well as the discussion of best practice example from teacher education, including pre-service teachers’ immediate “learning-to-teach experiences” (Johnson/Golombek 2016). The contributions to this volume will address this
topic at both the level of formal education, as well as nonformal education, especially in the light of lifelong learning (Iredale 2018). As the aim is to provide a multi-faceted perspective on how to address challenges in teacher education and how to promote innovation in teacher education, various teaching subjects will be addressed in this volume, such as foreign language education, science education, civic education or physical education. The volume also welcomes culture- or continent-focused analyses (see e.g. Simões/Lourenço/Costa 2018 or Symeonidis 2022 in terms of teacher education in Europe). The volume will also present best practice teaching examples from teacher education.
Topics of interest in the volume include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Teacher Education in Practice (e.g. description of university seminars)
- Reflective Practice
- Curricula and Teaching Policy
- Education technology
- Educational methodology
This volume will provide a research-based foundation and resource for teachers, prospective teachers, teacher educators, policy-makers and scientists in the field of pedagogy and scholarship of teaching and learning. In particular, the volume will be an invaluable resource for researcher and students looking to close the gap between the theory and practice of teacher education.
Prospective authors intending to submit a paper are asked to submit a short biographical note and an abstract (300-400 words), outlining the topic and aims of the proposed paper (including a list of five keywords) to Pascal Hohaus (pascal.hohaus
engsem.uni-hannover.de) and Jan-Friso Heeren (jan-friso.heeren
stud.uni-hannover.de) (both Leibniz University Hannover) by 30 April 2022. The editors will review the proposals and identify abstracts that are suitable for being developed into papers.
