CALL FOR PAPERS — SPECIAL ISSUE

Rethinking How We Train Teachers of Tomorrow

TSTT 2023 Conference

Pedagogical Perspective (PedPer) | ISSN: 2822-4841 | DOI Prefix: 10.29329

Dear Colleagues and Researchers,

We are pleased to announce a special issue of Pedagogical Perspective, dedicated to showcasing the research and insights presented at the TSTT 2023: International Conference — Rethinking How We Train Teachers of Tomorrow.

This special issue critically examines how teacher education can be reimagined to prepare educators for the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital and pedagogical landscape. As educational settings increasingly require the integration of innovative pedagogical approaches and digital technologies, there is a growing need for evidence-based solutions that bridge the theory–practice gap, promote meaningful learning, and equip future teachers with the skills and competencies necessary for effective practice.

Theme and Focus

The special issue centres on reducing the theory–practice gap in teacher education, the use of innovative approaches and pedagogical strategies, and the integration of digital technologies into teacher training. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Curriculum design and pedagogical methodologies for 21st-century teacher education
Digital integration and emerging technologies in teacher training
Bridging theory and practice through innovative instructional approaches
The role of artificial intelligence in shaping teacher education
Diversity, inclusion, and equity in teacher training programmes
Critical perspectives on digital pedagogies and their effectiveness
Reflective practice and research literacy in teacher education
