This state-of-the-art Companion assembles and assesses the extant
research available on teacher education and provides clear guidelines
on future directions. It addresses an important need in a collection
that will be of value for teachers, teacher educators, policymakers
and politicians. There has been little sustained, long-term or
systematic research to provide empirical support for the broad aspects
of teacher education policy, largely because such research has been
chronically underfunded and based on traditional practitioner
knowledge. Many of the changes to teacher education are contentious
and yet are occurring in rapid succession. These policies and
movements have important consequences for education, teacher quality
and the future of the teaching profession. At the same time, the
policies and initiatives that support these changes seem to be based
more on ideology, business interests and tradition than on research
and empirical findings. The nature, quality and effectiveness of
teacher preparation have increasingly become a central focus for
education policy worldwide in a fiercely argued debate among
governments, think-tanks, world policy agencies, education researchers
and teacher organisations.
