Calls to action for teacher education research and practice: voices from the field

This issue marks the second in our special series commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education (APJTE). As expressed in our first issue, a number of initiatives are underway to harness the history of the journal – its editors, leading articles that were deemed to make a difference in the field as well as the topics and debates that have headlined different periods in the journal. APJTE is the journal of the Australian Teacher Education Association (ATEA) and as noted in our previous editorial (Takayama, Kettle, Heimans & Biesta, 2022), the association and APJTE have always been internationalist in their orientation; indeed, the association was originally titled the South Pacific Association of Teacher Education before changing to ATEA in 1988.
