As with the passage of time and advancement in classroom technologies and with the new Audio Visual aids what are the trends in future in Teacher Education
Top Future trends in teacher Education:-
1. Custom Learning Experiences
Learning methodologies and experiences should never be the same for everyone, but the earlier education systems could never accommodate the custom learning experience as there were too many limitations. Thanks to modern technology in education, we can really initiate custom teaching and learning methodologies and experiences in our present day educational infrastructure. With modern gadgets and interfaces, now one can initiate learning based on their need, preference, and availability.
Instead of the one-size-fits-all approach to classroom education, mobile apps development for education unleashed a new way of need-based learning. For instance, a junior surgeon now can seek guidance for a critical procedure during the operation right through his mobile app.
2. Cloud Computing
More than any other technology, cloud computing unlocked the door of high tech education. The anytime-anywhere accessibility of information stored in remote cloud servers of the apps made it possible to access courseware and educational materials from any device and from anywhere. You can continue reading a book and collaborate with other students and teachers about your homework just through any device and at any time. Besides the ease of access and collaboration, cloud-based education apps solved the problem of storing data as well.
3. Speech-To-Text Options
A vast majority of devices and app platforms are now coming with virtual assistant apps and features like Apple’s Siri. Such smart assistants responding to voice commands make things even easier for learning. Moreover, the speech-to-text feature, coming with most devices, makes note taking and writing even more comfortable and fast-paced.
4. Virtual And Augmented Learning Experiences
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have come as s big boost to online education. Thanks to VR and AR learners can actually get an immersive learning experience without needing to move their legs too much. If you want to learn about space objects just by running a 3D space video on your VR headgear, you can float in space while a background voice continues depicting you the Milky Way in detail. Similarly, real-time broadcasting of critical surgical operations allows medical students to learn through a more immersive experience.
5. 3D Printing
3D printing, which is also known as prototyping, allows students to learn with a more tangible and physical experience. A student can easily shape his idea of an object thanks to 3D printers. With 3D printing, students can give shape to their imagination. In any institution, 3D printers will only help students to unleash their creative ideas and have more hands-on experiences.
6. Learning Analytics
Thanks to the increasing pace of high tech adoption of the educational system, learning data is increasingly becoming important to drive decisions and make decision-making procedures easier. The huge volume of education information and data give birth to learning analytics, as it is increasingly important to assess and evaluate student engagement, traction, and learning output. In the near future, we can see learning analytics warning teachers about certain issues, warning students about deadlines and their progress, etc. Eventually, learning systems will dictate the way education is remitted by teachers and experienced by learners. Learning analytics will boost learner engagement in education more than anything else.

Universities are providing teaching experiences in a new way, using a variety of new technologies, online resources and new educational delivery methods to suit. The variety of teaching options provided by technology allows education to be provided in an appropriate manner to a broader demographic than ever before. Flexibility and the adoption of new teaching methodologies are key strategic directions.
To make the teacher more and more critical to stimulate the confrontation of the classic techniques of learning with the modern ones so that the student is not limited in its formation.
digital learning and virtual classroom. virtual conferences across different countries.
Individualization, clusters of highly qualified trainers instead of formal universities/other educational establishments, digital and distant education
Mohmed‘s #6 Point - assessment of the trends utilizing analytics will be the most important aspect of education growth - very in depth response- thank you

Teachers become facilitators and guide students through the maze of information available through various sources and also encouraging self directed learning.
Yes, I can see us moving to more individualized learning and greater use of technology. However, I feel that more one to one or small group support will be increasingly important in order to build a sense of community; additionally, I believe more emphasis on mentoring when in school will be needed. Does anyone know of innovative PGCE courses already running?
In our current project works we found, that the implementation of a new “Creative Project-based Concept” (CPBC) has proven to work well methodology for elevating key competences and creating flexible learning environments. The project main benefit is a new creative project-based concept evaluation taxonomy model of engineering students’ scaffold knowledge elements, significant findings and recommendations. The innovative instrument is based on standardized “Project Evaluation Report” (PER) model with the new original taxonomy to identify and reflect on the students´ competences outcomes of learning experiences during periodical workshops to examine the flexible environment helpfulness of project-based learning and to explore how creative project enhances deep learning. Based on focus to the experimental data of the perspective engineering program from the period of 2015-2018, we document the challenges to infusing project implementation and evaluation methodology compatible with HORIZON2020 projects to increase the quality of engineering students’ competences across the learning concept innovation. The research tools were: analysis of students’ modules outcomes, observations of class activities, interviews with students and teachers, results in the partial exams, and PER assessment of individual students’ projects. The findings indicate that scientific and technological projects elevated students’ self-motivation and activities at all levels and achieved significant cognitive and affective learning. Furthermore, the results of principal novelty has also outlined the goals in the arguments to collaborate and redefine competences and technological literacy using specific disciplinary requirements while incorporating active learning strategies and learning practices for building of instruments to increase the quality of engineering study. Taken together, designed concept to elevate students´ competences via creative project to prevent higher order taxonomy gaps and ensure these effective problem solving and decision making capabilities are more effective as likely than reproductive practices to report increased students creativity, activity and cooperation attributes and teachers self-possession and righteousness via PER assessment.

Hello,
I believe that some of following trends in teaching we could expect in near future:
1. Extended use of online teaching and cloud computing together with more impact of learning analytics. On the other side, I believe this could impact skills of oral and written expression and motor skills, as many students could put aside these skills. That is why maybe there will be more courses related to
- Communication and presentation skills, including intercultural communication
- Social learning/ social empathy
- Household (including cooking, management, organization,...)
- Basic technical education
- Financial literacy
2. More attention will be given to project-based learning not only in class,, but also and working in intercultural teams, which will imply some new evaluation methods
3. Use of video conferencing and speech technologies
4. Flexibility for new methods and aproaches
These trends will impose for teachers new demands regarding education. Actually, I see teachers again as renaissance "homo universalis".
Best regards,
Sanja
Very true
With the use of internet there has been a decline in social skills and communication skills among students. In medical education, these skills are of immense value when it comes to interaction with a patient. The future would be to encourage students to learn in small groups, interacting with each other and expressing their ideas. Small group learning would also help build tolerance and empathy among students so that they can work better as team.
Forum theater is also a very innovative way to develop these skills in students.
