Special Issue on Teacher Education

This special issue mainly focuses on the policies, procedures and development about how to be a professional teacher. Those prospective teachers equip themselves with knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school and wider community. Teaching involves the use of a wide body of knowledge about the subject being taught, and another set of knowledge about the most effective ways to teach that subject to different kinds of learner; it therefore requires teachers to undertake a complex set of tasks every minute. What’s more the world that teachers are asking to prepare young people to enter is changing so rapidly, so that continuous professional development is the process by which teachers reflect upon their competences, maintain them up to date, and develop them further. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for professors and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of teacher education.
