This Open Access volume brings together contributions to the research on coherence in teacher education from a transnational perspective. Using theoretical-conceptional, empirical as well as instructional approaches, the contributions explore structural, curricular, conceptual and personnel dimensions of coherence. Within the EU Erasmus +-funded project ConnEcTEd (Coherence in European Teacher Education), an interdisciplinary and transnational consortium collaborated in the research and co-constructive development of coherent teaching and learning arrangements. The transnational team assessed links between different areas of professional knowledges as well as theory-practice approaches. The volume concludes with a final discussion by Esther T. Canrinus, one of the leading researchers on coherence in teacher education.
