Abstract
The forces of globalisation have compelled education systems to reconstitute their core business to develop citizens who have the knowledge, skills and understandings to operate in global environments. The International Baccalaureate’s (IB) programmes, which purport to develop such capabilities, have recently seen an explosive uptake in schools worldwide. As the success of the IB programmes is based on the capabilities of teachers who work with them, there are demands on teacher educators and teacher education courses to develop such capable teachers. A systematic literature review was conducted to establish the research evidence that supports and informs IB programmes and principles in pre-service and in-service teacher education courses. The results revealed a dearth of peer-reviewed literature that teacher educators can use to inform best-practice pre-service and in-service IB teacher training offerings.
