University education is undergoing a profound transformation, and teacher education is no exception. In a global context marked by accelerating technological advances, the need for renewed pedagogical skills, and an emphasis on inclusive and sustainable education, teacher education programs face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. This foreword explores some of the most influential current trends in teacher education at the university level, highlighting how they are shaping the profile of the modern educator. The first key trend in teacher education is digitization. The incorporation of emerging technologies in the teaching-learning process has ceased to be an option and has become a necessity. Online education platforms, virtual and augmented reality tools, and the use of artificial intelligence to personalize learning are some of the technological resources that are revolutionizing the way future teachers learn and teach. These technologies not only facilitate access to knowledge, but also enable the development of digital competencies in teachers, necessary to face a student body that is increasingly immersed in digital environments.
