Greetings & welcome to (Teacher Education and Research: An Introductory Approach). This book is designed with the intention of closing the divide between theoretical knowledge and application in the realm of teacher education. Being educators ourselves, we comprehend the profound impact of proficient instruction and the crucial significance of ongoing research in improving instructional methods.
In the current dynamic educational context, characterized by the rapid advancement of technology, the presence of various student needs, and the influence of global concerns, the importance of instructors has reached unprecedented levels. This book aims to provide both inexperienced educators and experienced professionals with the fundamental information and research abilities necessary for successful teaching in the 21st century.
The purpose of this book is two-fold: firstly, to offer a thorough examination of important concepts and theories in teacher education, and secondly, to emphasize the importance of research in guiding and enhancing instructional practices. Every chapter is meticulously designed to actively include readers in the process of analyzing, applying, and investigating the latest research trends.
We extend an invitation to individuals who are pre-service teachers, working educators, or researchers in the field to join us on this journey. Join us as we probe into the dynamic convergence of theory, practice, and research that will shape the future of education.
