Editorial: Basic digital teacher training - not in sight

Abstract

Digitization is progressing, teacher training - explicitly in the vocational area - is not keeping up. Against the background of current and foreseeable requirements that digitization places on trainees and young professionals, there are a number of challenges for their teachers, which are divided into the main areas of media education, media didactics / methodology and specialist technology. Each of these main areas contains demanding and interdependent aspects, which can be handled proactively both in the course of study and in the course of training.
