ABSTRACT

Based on interviews with a global sample of ITE leaders, this paper explores whether the changes forced on institutions and individuals as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic can be classed as innovation. The paper goes beyond collating the various practical and organisational changes the ITE leaders made and instead focuses on the kind of changes enacted around the world and whether and how these changes can be seen as adding new value to historical ITE practices. Given the consistency of responses evident across the sample of teacher education leaders around the world, the paper concludes with a discussion of potentially global implications of the shifts in ITE practices reported and suggests that COVID-19 has indeed stimulated an innovative stance often perceived to be lacking in the sector.

摘要

基于对全球ITE领导者样本的采访，本文探讨了由于COVID-19全球大流行而对机构和个人造成的变化是否可以归类为创新。该文件不仅要整理ITE领导者进行的各种实际和组织上的更改，而且要侧重于世界各地已实施的更改的种类以及这些更改是否以及如何被视为为ITE的历史惯例增加新的价值。鉴于在全球范围内的教师教育领导者样本中答案的一致性是显而易见的，因此本文最后讨论了所报告的ITE做法的变化可能对全球产生的影响，并表明COVID-19确实激发了一种通常被认为是创新的立场。该部门缺乏。
