The chapter aims to describe the evolution of ESE-TE research by identifying its defining characteristics and purposes, while analyzing what trends suggest for the field’s trajectory. This chapter highlights four aspects of these international trends in ESE-TE research. First, the primary themes in ESE-TE research are presented. Second, the chapter outlines the related fields and different disciplines that ESE-TE research has emerged from and their influence on the field’s features. Third, the distribution of ESE-TE research across different geographical contexts and specific settings is described. Fourth, the chapter explains the common research designs and methods employed in ESE-TE research. At the end, the chapter elaborates on how these trends offer insights that can add to general TE practices and describes the outlook for future needs and developments in ESE-TE research.

To advance the diffusion of this niche innovation into general teacher education, this article offers a systematic literature review based on a qualitative analysis of 158 peer-reviewed publications on TESD research. Our results show that TESD research is a growing field characterized by five types of inquiry: designing learning environments, understanding learner attributes, measuring learning outcomes, promoting systems change, and advancing visions for the field. Major innovation potentials of TESD for more general teacher education are its emphasis on the grand socio-environmental challenges of our times, methodologies to engage with knowledge diversity (e.g., inter/ transdisciplinarity), and sustainability science learning approaches (e.g., backcasting). We suggest that future work builds from this review to strengthen links between teacher education and TESD in enhancing quality education.
