Comparative Research on Teacher Education

The volume Comparative research on teacher education is one of the two international comparative volumes which has been prepared within Teacher Education Central European Research Network (TECERN) project implemented during 2013/2014, supported by Visegrad Fund. The project is based around relevant issues regarding the quality of teachers and teacher education in post-socialist countries facing difficulties. As stated in the Preface “the lure of this profession is decreasing, a professional identity fails to evolve, teachers are unmotivated to obtain specialized knowledge or unwilling to self train themselves and have a low social esteem” (Pusztai and Engler 2014, Preface).
