This qualitative case study investigated teacher educators at a Midwest Division II university to gain insight to the obstacles faced when integrating technology and the decision-making process in relation to technology integration. Combining the constructivist theory with the TPaCK framework, the study aimed to make a connection as to the…

This self-study presents an autoethnography which combines the writing about memories of meaningful formal and informal learning I experienced during my childhood, and self-reflection on those episodes to identify associations which are likely to have inspired my pedagogical beliefs and practice as a teacher educator. It has been experienced as an…

Drawing on the perspectives of six student teachers (including five geography specialists) and two teacher educators, four key components are identified as being crucial to enable those undertaking a geography-focused programme of Initial Teacher Education to thrive rather than simply survive. These include, (1) nurturing an enjoyment of…

This collaborative self-study looks at how eight white literacy teacher educators worked together to re-center critical literacy and teaching for equity in methods courses. We used self-study methodology to interrogate not only our pedagogy, but also our own internalization of white supremacy culture and complicity in perpetuating the status quo.…

'Son, the only thing that I want is to tell you is that I need you to be aware that you are getting out of a Ferrari and into a Citroneta.' This is what David's father said to him when he left engineering to enter physical education. In his new career, a teacher educator asked him, 'Why didn't you study something more difficult?' David's…

Teachers around the world report a lack of confidence about working with learners who are regarded as 'diverse'. This paper draws on mixed-methods research to explore knowledge claims that underpin the pedagogical work of teacher educators. Using our theoretical framing of epistemic reflexivity, we show connections between knowledge claims made…

Two teacher educators and two preservice teachers reflect on a culminating creative reflection activity with suggestions for adapting the practice in future teacher education classrooms and implications of the benefits of group reflection practices, particularly in times of crisis. We noted how reflection can help students craft an ideal future…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several international physical face-to-face conferences have been cancelled, and often substituted by online events. This situation may have led to different experiences among teacher educators and influenced their considerations on whether to travel to future conferences. The purpose of this study is to understand…

This study sought to understand how doctoral students in mathematics education learn to become equity-oriented mathematics teacher educations (EOMTEs) by analyzing the experiences of current doctoral students in mathematics education at three universities across the US. I focus on doctoral students learning in mathematics education because…

Current shifts to resituate teacher preparation with clinical practice at its core have led to renewed interest in Professional Development Schools (PDSs). As more school-university partnerships strengthen their shared commitment to clinical teacher preparation, school and university-based teacher educators must be prepared to serve in these…

The teaching of teaching is sophisticated work although it is often viewed simplistically. To challenge simplistic approaches to teacher education, teacher educators need to actively articulate the specialist knowledge, skills and abilities that underpin expertise in teaching and to do so through their practice with their students of teaching. In…

Building capacity in teachers to teach students skillfully and respectfully across the diversity gap is complex work that requires teachers to learn to see with what we term as "angled perspective." If an angled perspective is learnable, then it is teachable. Using our narratives as religiously and ethnically diverse women teacher…

This study utilized Q methodology to examine non-educational technology teacher education faculty perspectives on the challenge of technology infusion within teacher education. We sought faculty perspectives on how technology influences learning, faculty confidence in preparing candidates to use technology, program design for technology…

The functions of teacher leaders and teacher educators, what they do, are critical in teacher education. This article presents the seemingly unexamined concept that some teacher leaders' practice includes a teacher educator dimension. Evidence that supports this claim is provided by exploring the interrelationship between teacher leader and…

This paper focuses, empirically, on the developments seen in a group of South African early grades' mathematics teacher educators in the course of a university-provincial education department partnership project. This project sought to support the district Mathematics Subject Advisers to support, in turn, teachers to implement an intervention…
