Abstract

This systematic literature review is the first of its kind to synthesise and analyse existing scholarship on building resilience for pre-service teachers (PSTs). The review is situated in the context of the challenging journey of becoming a teacher and the urgency for initial teacher education to prepare PSTs for the demanding teaching profession. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, 57 studies were included in the review. The review first teased out the contextual, methodological, and conceptual variances within the PST resilience literature. It then focused on three problematics, namely, resilience to what, resilience for what, and resilience because of what – the triad of resilience. A sociological perspective was employed to problematise the individualistic framework and the notion of adaptation. The review calls for a sociology of PST resilience and incorporation of resilience education into initial teacher education for individual and structural transformation.
