“Teacher Education Policies in Brazil and Europe in contemporary times: challenges, influences, and perspectives”

Dossier Presentation

Abstract

Stemming from an internationalization experience involving the exchange of knowledge through experiences as a visiting professor at the University of Minho/Portugal, followed by hosting a visiting professor from Portugal at the University of Uberlândia (UFU), Brazil, both in 2024, the idea for creating this dossier was born as a strategy to systematically record the debates on the topic of teacher education beyond our borders. We understand that the topic of teacher education, both initial and continuing, has occupied a prominent place in political, curricular, and academic debates in various countries globally. This dossier brings together knowledge and experiences from various locations in Brazil, Portugal, Angola, and Finland. A fruitful debate, therefore, between three continents: America, Europe, and Africa.
