Abstract

This chapter shares a systematic review of 88 peer-reviewed journal articles about online teacher education (OTE). The systematic review indicated a balance between qualitative (n = 27), quantitative (n = 25), and mixed methods (n = 20) studies about OTE. The most popular data sources included surveys/questionnaires (n = 40), interviews (n = 22), and discussion board posts/blog posts (n = 14). However, only 11 studies included outcome data from teacher candidates enrolled in OTE courses and programs). Additionally, only 4 studies included data related to teacher candidates’ use of knowledge and skills in classroom settings, and no study examined teacher candidates’ influence on the learning outcomes of school-aged learners. The chapter closes by discussing potential future directions related to future research related to online teacher education programs, and implications for those who design and implement online teacher education programs.
