To date, research into teaching out-of-field has represented both the problems, disjunctures and challenges of teaching out-of-field, as well as the opportunities that might arise for teachers and students if teachers are supported and enabled to expand their professional knowledge, identifies and relationships when learning to teach out-of-field. Understanding how teacher overcome the challenges of teaching out-of-field is a critical role of research, and how insights from research is shared with government, subject associations, professional development and teacher educators remains an engagement and impact conundrum for the academy.
We welcome national and cross-national research and commentary on the policies, the people, and the effects associated with this phenomenon. Post-graduate students and early career researchers are welcome.
